Bugzilla Bug 167436

This is what you get on every restart:

 * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
/etc/init.d/alsasound: line 191:
/proc/asound//var/lib/alsa/oss/card0/pcm0c/oss: No such file or directory
/etc/init.d/alsasound: line 191:

/proc/asound//var/lib/alsa/oss/card0/pcm1c/oss: No such file or directory      
                       [ ok ]

Boils down to the usage of ${alsastatedir} at:

<snip>
for ossfile in "${alsastatedir}"/oss/card?_pcm??; do
        # We use cat because I'm not sure if cp works properly on /proc
        cat "${ossfile}" > /proc/asound/${ossfile/_/\/}/oss
done
</snip>

alsasound initscript patch

Works for me...

Thanks, fixed without revbump as I'm probably going to revbump later on to fix
a few more bugs.

I must be doing something wrong.I've applied this patch.Here's teh relevant
section:


        push_opts=$(shopt -p nullglob); shopt -s nullglob
        for ossfile in "${alsastatedir}"/oss/card?_pcm??; do
                # We use cat because I'm not sure if cp works properly on /proc
                local procfile=${ossfile##${alsastatedir}/oss}
                cat "${ossfile}" > /proc/asound/${procfile/_/\/}/oss
#               cat "${ossfile}" > /proc/asound/${ossfile/_/\/}/oss
        done
        eval $push_opts


But it still gives errors:

Yes, you must be doing something wrong. It's already fixed in CVS, so emerge
--sync and re-emerge the ebuild.

So I did what you described. Still the error remains:

It may be something else but I do not understand the script well enough to find
out myself.Am I the only person having this problem?

To be exact I paste teh relevant section of the script:

"
        push_opts=$(shopt -p nullglob); shopt -s nullglob
        for ossfile in "${alsastatedir}"/oss/card?_pcm??; do
                # We use cat because I'm not sure if cp works properly on /proc
                local procfile=${ossfile##${alsastatedir}/oss}
                cat "${ossfile}" > /proc/asound/${procfile/_/\/}/oss
        done
        eval $push_opts
"

Works just perfectly fine here; if you are missing OSS support in alsa or don't
have the needed modules loaded, then there's obviously nothing to restore.

I give up. All modules are loaded and everything used to work. I reverted to
alsa-utils-1.0.14_rc2 and there are no more messages. It still seems a bug to
me...

same for me

help its:

/etc/init.d/alsasound stop
rm -rf /var/lib/alsa
emerge alsa-utils
/etc/init.d/alsasound start
alsamixer
# unmute what you need

I modify the script a little. It works for me.
