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.
