Hi all folks,
Before running apt-get upgrade the sound server was working properly,
using "alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6"
After upgrade with "apt-get upgrade" the sound server can't start. On
login following warning popup
>>>
Xinformational - artsmessage
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
<<<
There are 2 alsa-drivers installed on my system.
# rpm -qa|grep alsa
balsa-1.2.4-8
alsa-driver-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.2
alsa-utils-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.1
alsa-lib-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.1
# locate alsa
......

# locate snddevices
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/snddevices.in
/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/snddevices
# ls -l /dev/snd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 15 15:27 /dev/snd ->
/proc/asound/dev
It is a symbolic link
# cd /proc/asound/
bash: cd: /proc/asound/: No such file or directory
# ls -l /proc/asound/dev
ls: /proc/asound/dev: No such file or directory
Kindly advise;
1) How to fix this problem.
2) Can package with extension of "fr0.rh80.2" or "fr0.rh80.x" work on
RH8.0 and what does it indicate?
3) How to remove
"/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/alsa-kernel/include"... etc.
collectively rather than removing them "one by one" manually?
Thanks in advance.
B.Regards
Stephen Liu
