Description Carlos Cordoba 2005-06-02 15:19:27 UTC
I want to propose a little enhacement to the nforce-audio ebuild: to change its
einfo. The actual one is inappropriate because nvmixer is actually installed
with the ebuild. It would be better to instruct the user on how to use nvmix-reg
to restore his/her volume settings between sessions. Here is my proposal:

"If you want to restore your volume settings between sessions add this line to
your /etc/conf.d/local.start
/usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1
and this one to your /etc/conf.d/local.stop
/usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1"

I dont know if these are the right instructions but they work for me. I dont
know either if they work for 2.4 kernels as well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Seems like this package doesn't exists anymore. 
Comment 2 Carlos Cordoba 2005-09-03 07:31:28 UTC
I dont understand what you mean. If you are referring to
media-sound/nforce-nvmixer, sure it does not exist anymore, and that's why the
actual einfo is misleading. But nvmix-reg is installed with the nforce-audio
ebuild. Well, at least in version 1.0.0301. I dont know if it is installed with
version 1.0.0292-r1, which is by now the stable one.

Sorry I misunderstood, and was mislead by another thing. 
 
Comment 4 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-19 11:16:19 UTC
Added these statements in a slightly modified form to the newest nforce-audio
ebuild. Thanks for your report, and sorry about the delay.

Thank you very much for accepting my little enhacement. It is really my pleasure
to help the dedicated Gentoo developer community.
