Description Leah Cunningham 2005-09-03 16:21:16 UTC

After a default installation with GNOME to a pismo powerbook, neither the
powersaved nor the pbbuttond were enabled by default, which is probably not the
best idea.  Let me know if you need any info, logs, etc.

Comment 1 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 12:01:39 UTC

that seems to work on my ibook, but I think that happend on my pismo as well.
Have to install again to reproduce it.

Comment 2 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 12:20:34 UTC

insserv worked ok, but the daemon did not run for some reason.

Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 12:22:23 UTC

pbbuttonds is stupid as it has a hard requirement for running sound and cdrom.
it must not fail if one of them is not avaiable. can you check /var/log/boot.* ?

Comment 4 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 12:25:52 UTC

it wants /dev/mixer, thats not correct.

Comment 5 Andreas Schwab 2005-09-05 12:34:42 UTC

WORKSFORME. If you have sound the you have /dev/mixer.

Comment 6 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 12:36:49 UTC

no you dont, sound can be loaded at any time. in this case, it appears after the
daemon started. either poll for it or make it non-fatal.
wether it works for you is irrelevant.

Comment 7 Andreas Schwab 2005-09-05 12:39:30 UTC

pbbuttonsd is started after alsasound.

Comment 8 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 12:40:41 UTC

oddly enough, kde doesnt recognize it either on first boot.

when does kde look for sound?

Comment 9 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-05 12:50:06 UTC

early_kdm?  But the original report is about GNOME...

Comment 10 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 13:01:24 UTC

I'm trying dev in tmpfs now, here is a beta3 installed for some reason.

but the point still stands.

pbbuttonsd must start even if /dev/mixer and /dev/cdrom is not present

kde has appearently no way to rescan for sound.

Comment 11 Olaf Hering 2005-09-05 13:06:32 UTC

dev in tmpfs helps at least.

/dev/mixer was present before, just no driver listening when kde and pbbuttonds
looked.

Comment 12 Leah Cunningham 2005-09-06 23:09:53 UTC

This appears to be somewhat better in beta4, probably because the sound is
initializing correctly after an installation.

Comment 13 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-23 08:58:57 UTC

Does this happen still on rc4?  Otherwise I'd like to close...

Comment 14 Olaf Hering 2005-09-23 09:00:44 UTC

yes, it happens to work by luck. pbbuttonsd is likely still broken.

Comment 15 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-23 09:11:35 UTC

Do you have LOAD_OSS_EMUL_MODULES=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sound?

Comment 16 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-23 09:27:41 UTC

Also, login on runlevel 3, and check whether /dev/mixer exists.

Comment 17 Olaf Hering 2005-09-30 15:20:21 UTC

even if it were missing, it would be still a pbbuttonsd bug to rely on sound.

Comment 18 Takashi Iwai 2007-02-23 15:38:53 UTC

/dev is tmpfs in the later versions, so should work.
