Problem with udev [SOLVED]

Koven · 2006-06-24 00:50:19

Hi there

i upgraded udev with pacman -S -y and then sound doesn't work anymore and I don't know why it may be happening. It was working till then.

More information would help, How did you configured sound? From which version to whcih version of udev you went? Does it give some error message?

Koven · 2006-06-24 01:17:11

I think this is the problem

====================================
* Known Problems MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes":
====================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Sound is not working or modules (eg. parport) are not loaded automatically:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
- Do you have a clean /etc/modprobe.conf?
- A clean /etc/modprobe.conf is empty. The stock modprobe.conf file
contains nothing
- alsaconf can write output to modprobe.conf. Please keep that in mind.

This may be found in /etc/udev/readme-udev-arch.txt file but I really don't know what may be happening, Ther is no much info about this .

So i stop alsa service then I ran alsaconf and restarted alsa service and sound worked again but I really don't know what may be happening beacuse udev doesn't load modules.

My suggestion, clean /etc/modprobe.conf and let alsaconf write in it again, then use alsamier to set sound volume and alsactl store to store those values.

my advice is never! use alsaconf if you don't need to, udev loads all stuff
alsaconf is only needed for non pci cards normally

Koven · 2006-06-24 13:02:04

Now it doesn't work anymore.

I reboot pc and now I can't hear anything, if I try to configure sound in gnome it tells me there is not gstreamer control devices. Now I really don't know what to do if tpowa tells me that is not good run alsaconf, so what can i do now with this rare trouble?

(i edited the quote to bold some parts)

Koven, can you give us details about your hardware ?

What soundcard and Motherboard you are using will probably help to determine whether you should use alsaconf or not.

Koven · 2006-06-24 13:29:05

I think it wil not be necessary, I got a kernel panic and i really don't know where it came from because I didn't upgrade kernel or anything like that.

I just did that about running alsaconf. My sound card is integrated into motherboard, this is the driver "snd-via82xx".

When i saw the kernel panic I got into panic beacuse I really didn't anything for alterate the kernel configuration.

Regards

PE. I Installed some fonts but i really don't hink it has any relation with my kernel panic problem Im writing from Mandriva distro in other partition. I hadn't another kernel in arch.

StormBlast · 2006-06-24 13:49:55

Maybe the problem is in broken udev.rules? Try to replace /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules with original file from package (current version is udev-094-2).

Koven · 2006-06-24 15:50:21

I've udev.rules, but I don't know how can i get another udev.rules. Remember I'm in a kernel panic situation...

Regards

tpowa · 2006-06-24 15:52:16

where does it panic?
could you post the message somewhere?

Koven · 2006-06-24 16:02:19

I've reboot four times and now I'm into arch again, but I've sound problem again, it tells me error in spanish so I don't know how may I translate it but I'll give a try...

Not volume control devices found of Gstreamer

This appears when I click on volume control on gnome desktop. What can i do? This obviously is a udev problem but everything was ok before upgrading udev.

Regards

Koven · 2006-06-24 16:06:35

When udev is starting at boot it is the longest service in beginning, I really don't know why everything was like that after upgrading.

Regards

tpowa · 2006-06-24 16:16:47

clean your modprobe.conf, it's has most likely wrong values inside,
especially remove alsa entries and OSS entries.

Koven · 2006-06-24 16:19:42

I have this in modprobe.conf

[root@koven koven]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
#
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
# OSS Compatibility
install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

Cleaning you mean, remove everything with

echo " " > /etc modprobe.conf

Is it?

I read your readme-udev-arch.txt file and i suppose there are a lot of tips there in. Thanks for info

Regards

tpowa · 2006-06-24 16:30:16

remove this stuff and all will work

Koven · 2006-06-24 16:39:55

Thanx tpowa, now I understand why this is not a kernel for newbies hehehe, really great distro.

Regards

Arch Linux
