Bug 68923 – Ownership in /dev/snd is not being set during login by gentoo-dev-sources after 2.6.7-r7

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Bob Sanders 2004-10-25 21:35:54 UTC]

Sometime between gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7-r7 and 2.6.7-r11, devices associated
with audio no longer have thier ownership assigned to the user at login.  This
is on Udev systems with tarball set to no.  Or udev based systems that were
clean installed with kernels later than 2.6.7-r7

Problem verified with kernels - 2.6.7-r11, 2.6.8-r3, 2.6.9-r1.

This has been reproduced on two platforms - a 2P Athlon-MP system
and a Pentium-M based laptop.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.edit /etc/conf.d/rc.  Change RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to - no.
2. Install gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-rx where x>7
3. Reboot 
4. Log in as a normal user.  ls -l /dev/snd

Actual Results:  
rsanders@chi rsanders $  uname -av
Linux chi 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Sat Oct 23 13:40:24 Local time zone must be
set--see zic  i686 AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

crw-------  1 root audio 116,  1 Oct 25 21:01 seq
crw-------  1 root audio 116, 33 Oct 25 21:01 timer


Expected Results:  
owership for devices in /dev/snd should have been my user id, not root.

I have not seen this problem on an amd64 workstation running gentoo-dev-souces
2.6.8-r4.

After configing a vanilla dev kernel, I find the problem is with the
session manager.  As I'm using Entrance, a non-released session
manager, I've rejected this bug report.

Apologies for the error.
