rcalsasound failed on first boot: alsactl/amixer: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory
Last modified: 2006-02-22 18:42:23 UTC
After installation the alsa init script seems to fail. rcalsasound status: ALSA sound driver not loaded. unused. After restart of the alsa init script everything works fine. The problem seems to be resmgrd - /var/log/messages: [...] Jan 26 16:46:13 linux y2base: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory Jan 26 16:46:14 linux y2base: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory Jan 26 16:46:14 linux amixer: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory Jan 26 16:46:14 linux alsactl: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory Jan 26 16:46:14 linux alsactl: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory Jan 26 16:46:14 linux alsactl: resmgr: unable to connect to resmgrd: No such file or directory [...] Do you need further logs/information?
Same here.
Looks rather like a problem of resmgr or startpar. alsasound has 'Required-Start: $remote_fs resmgr', so resmgrd should run in prior.
Judging my fresh install it looks like there are two unrelated bugs. 1. yast starts hal but not resmgr => hal cannot tell resmgr about hardware => resmgr starts up later and stays empty. 2. looks like there are no sound modules loaded. restarting hal and resmgr doesn't make them load. one has to run rcalsasound start. rcalsasound works just fine without resmgr as it runs as root anyways. There is no need for resmgr. 1) although one could blame yast for that I'll add a check into the resmgr init script to register hardware at resmgr if hal was already running as that is useful anyways. 2) takashi's part.
rcresmgr done
alsasound script is fixed now, hopefully yast2-sound works well.

This is present in Beta4 after installation. But not only for alsactl. There are also errormessages for y2base.
In which point did you get these messages (I assume you got exactly same errors). Could you check wether any snd-* modules are loaded while this happens (by switching to console and see lsmod output)?
Created attachment 69378 [details] errormessages from /var/log/messages This is the part of /var/log/messages. This happend at the end of the installation process. After reboot the machine work correct, no error messages
And did the module exist _before_ reboot?
Sorry, I rebooted the machine befor this report and found the messages in the log while report the other bug. I simply don't know if the modules exist before reboot
OK, then I need the corresponding yast log to see what command yast2 issued.
see atachment in bug 152262
Hm, these messages might be harmless. I'll fix alsa-lib not to call resmgr if the device really doesn't exist. Did the sound basically work without touching anything (before reboot, too)?
I don't know. I rebootet the machine before I did any test. If the info is really needed, I must reinstall the machine.
The fact it worked after the second boot means that the main problem was already fixed. The messages are just annoyance (and fixed in the latest alsa package). So, I close this bug. Let's see whether all pieces are put correctly on beta5 :)
