This is weird. I started envy24control the first time after updating from alsa-tools-1.0.23 to 1.0.24.1, and the profile names (last tab) are gone. Instead they are named numerically again. Look at the steps below for the weirdest part though: Now the weird part: I named the first two profiles again (FOOBAR and BARFOO), clicked on “save active profile” for each one, exited the program, and Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Be sure you have 1.0.23 installed. 2. Make sure you have named profiles in envy24control, and that they contain settings that are different from the default (e.g. set volume levels). 3. Update to 1.0.24.1. 4. Make a backup copy of .envy24control/profiles.conf. 5. Run envy24control and look at the profiles tab. → The profile names are gone and replaced by “1”, “2”, etc. 6. Rename profile “1” “FOOBAR” followed by clicking “save active profile. Do the same for profile “2”, naming it “BARFOO”. 7. Exit envy24control. 8. diff .envy24control/profiles.conf and your backuped copy of it. Actual Results: There are no changes at all! The files are exactly the same. They even contain your old profile names from 1.0.23. And you can’t find neither “FOOBAR” nor “BARFOO” in them. Now the really weird part: Start envy24control again. Notice how it *remembers* the *new* profile names (FOOBAT and BARFOO) *anyway*. No idea where it saves them, as i could not find them with a grep of my whole user profile. Serious-hacking-wow. ;) Expected Results: After updating, the profile names should still be read from the config file and displayed in envy24contol. Also, when saving a profile, the profile name (and the rest anyway) should be saved in the config file, and in no case somewhere magically hidden. ;) In other words: The config file and the GUI should stay being be representations of each other. As you can imagine, I’m really interested where the new profile names are saved, if not in the home directory.
Oops, ignore paragraph 2. I forgot to delete it after making it into the steps to reproduce.
Please paste your `emerge --info media-sound/alsa-tools' output in a comment. Information about the ALSA related configuration of your kernel would also be useful
(In reply to comment #2) Here they come. I doubt the’re very helpful thought, as both did not change between updates. Also, going back to the old 1.0.23, fixed it for me. (I masked 1.0.24.1.) ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Portage 2.2.0_alpha25 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.5.2, glibc-2.13-r1, 2.6.35-zen2

Could you test whether 1.0.25 addresses this please?
As soon as I’ve done my weekly update session (every Friday), and it was in there, I’ll do. See you Saturday (or so) then.
(In reply to comment #4) Just looked, and it created the directory "$HOME/envy24control" (without the dot) again! First this lies dead for a year, then I’m asked to re-test it, even though everyone is fully aware that nothing changed. What the hell? :/ Why am I even making these bugs? Next year I won’t “test again”, that’s for sure.
Created attachment 301931 [details] Patch to fix this, for 1.0.21… yeah, that’s how long ago this could have been fixed. Here, my old patch from 1.0.21. With a change of the version number in the path, this should still work today. Now please, would you finally either put it into Portage, or give me access so I can do it?
If that is how a polite request is treated, it can wait another week.
(In reply to comment #8) > If that is how a polite request is treated, it can wait another week. I’m sorry. :/ I was angry at the whole situation. It wasn’t meant against you, and I certainly didn’t mean to hurt you. See, this is so very frustrating… when one’s system constantly gets wrecked or at least messed up by regressions. As I said: I’d rather help out and have us all work together. But it’s always that one place that I don’t do myself… the one where I have to depend on others… where everything goes wrong. :/ So maybe you can understand my anger. I certainly understand that I shouldn’t attack you because of it. So sorry again. :)
My concern with this is that the suggested patch is already in the portage tree and has been consistently applied: PATCHES=( "${FILESDIR}/envy24control-config-dir.patch" ) If the patch no longer applied for 1.0.24.1 or 1.0.25, the ebuild would have bailed out with an error message, and no package would have been installed on your system.
(In reply to comment #10) > My concern with this is that the suggested patch is already in the portage tree > and has been consistently applied: Ah, OK. > If the patch no longer applied for 1.0.24.1 or 1.0.25, the ebuild would have > bailed out with an error message, and no package would have been installed on > your system. That’s the thing. It wasn’t applied, or had no effect. If you say that it would have bailed out, then I can only conclude, that it must have been applied but without any effect. Which, of course, is weird and makes no sense. It’s a fact though, that, as described is comment #6 (just read the nice part please ;), the directory is the wrong one again. So maybe something with the patching goes wrong. Could you test where it saves the config file when you do a default installation with ALSA_CARDS="ice1712"? Just so you can see for yourself. (I wouldn’t believe me too, if I were in your place. ;) And so I know it’s not just me seeing the ghost in the machine. ;)
Interesting. This bug is still not fixed in 1.0.26. Again, it goes to $HOME/envy24control instead of $HOME/.envy24control, or even better: $HOME/.config/envy24control
Created attachment 346674 [details, diff] Debian's extended patch (untested).
Hi Navid, I'm the Debian maintainer of this pile of unmaintained software that is alsa-tools. :) I was idly browsing other distros trying to fish interesting patches when I came across your old patch, and I quickly stole it. Then I got to this bug thanks to the reference in the Gentoo ChangeLog, and saw you're still seeing the problem. I'd assume the code has changed since your patch and the program is now using another definition for DEFAULT_PROFILERC, because, you know, there are two: one in envy24control.h, and another in profile.h, introduced in this commit: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=d552f0ca3755058fc962359f2d69e13f4f250794 My reading of the code is that it should actually be using the definition you fixed, but my reading at 2AM might be totally flawed. Attached is an untested patch that adds the other bit. You might want to test it.
This is probably obsolete now
