[opensuse-factory] no sound for $USER in 10.3Alpha5
Today I decided to give 10.3 Alpha5 a whirl (the small Gnome install version). Installed nicely and easily... a couple of minor errors (autologin error on creating initial user and XBD errr every time I log in) I still need to poke around in Bugzilla for these first... But on to the subject.. sound. This bug was around in 10.2, and never solved (for me)... and it's still there in 10.3. After installing there is no sound for the first $USER. The sound hardware is detected and set up correctly, but $USER has no access to the sound devices until I manually add the Audio group to the $USER. I've poked around in the various bugs on this like: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267232 which is Closed... with the resolution: "this is not necessary because we are using resmgr which hands out ACLs to the sound devices." Another related bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173793 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219366 Resolved... apparently "fixed in Beta 2" and apparently also this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=201055 Well.... I have yet to see this work in 10.2 over dozens of installs on varying hardware.... and it's STILL there in 10.3 in a clean install... There are loads of bugs on this exact same problem, and every single one (that I've read so far) seems to be closed/resolved. So.... what's up? Am I just unlucky or something? Why do I still see this in 10.3Alpha5 if it has been fixed? If resmgr is supposed to be handling device permissions... why isn't it doing it's job on every install I do? I'm off to install the KDE version now to see if I get the same results. I have a feeling the first user created will not have access to any sound devices again....

Bizarre.... same exact hardware, installing the KDE install, and no issues at all with sound. Strange...

Right, I read that in the various bugs (after I did the quick and dirty fix of manually adding the user to the audio group). That still does not answer the question though why on a clean default install (of 10.3A5 on an empty drive/partition with no after install tinkering) that there are wrong permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/snd. If this is fixed, or not a bug, why do I keep having this problem (with 10.2 and now 10.3A5)?? If it's me, I'd like to know what it is I am doing to cause the system to assign wrong permissions during a clean install. If it's not me, then why is it still happening? What is causing me to run into this annoyance on almost every install I do? (I say almost because when I installed from the 10.3A5 KDE iso instead of the 10.3A5 GNOME iso on the same hardware in a clean partition it worked correctly without needing to fix permissions on /dev).

The gnome 1CD version simply lacks hal-resmgr which is responsible for setting device permissions. I've just filed #285057 for that. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
