[SOLVED] alsamixer can't start
If I try to run alsamixer, it won't open. Here's an example:
~ >>> alsamixer
~ >>> sudo alsamixer
Password:
~ >>>I have it installed obviously, or it would give me an error about the executable not found. I can control it with gvolwheel, but I would like to be able to run it when I use ratposion

Re: [SOLVED] alsamixer can't start
Perhaps you need alsa in the daemons entry.

I did have it in there. I find this interesting however:
~ >>> sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa start
~ >>>
~ >>> sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa stop
~ >>>Maybe because the daemon isn't working?

Re: [SOLVED] alsamixer can't start
Perhaps you need alsa in the daemons entry.
The alsa daemon script does not do what you think it does.
Even more interesting is this:
Have you run out of space on / while updating or similar?
Looks like atleast you pacman db is damaged, and perhaps the installed files too.
-Sf those packages
