Latest rawhide, kernel-2.4.2-0.1.29, sndconfig-0.64.5-1, aumix-2.7-2 Configuring sound for first time w/ sndconfig... The "Creative Labs|SB Live! EMU10000" is detected (this is correct, and the module can be manually loaded fine with modprobe, and sound played with it). When sndconfig tries to load the module we get: """ modprobe error aumix: unable to open settings file /lib/modules/2.4.2-0.1.29/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k/emu10k1.o: post-install sound-slot-0 failed /lib/modules/2.4.2-0.1.29/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k/emu10k1.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed """ Upon inspection of modules.conf the post-install line calls "/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L" however /etc/.aumixrc does NOT exist. Running this line manually with the module manually loaded confirmed the "unable to open settings file" error. As you can see from package releases, this is one day old rawhide ~20010317.
This defect considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold
This will be fixed in kudzu-0.98.3, sndconfig-0.64.6.
