Description of problem: PulseAudio does not start by default on my system. But when I want to start it using the command pulseaudio, it says the following: W: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted W: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM front:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround40:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround41:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround50:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround51:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround71:0 ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1240:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: No such device E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_1106_3059_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-utils-1.0.16-2.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure pulseaudio does not run: pulseaudio -k 2. Run pulseaudio: pulseaudio 3. Actual results: The errors mentioned above Expected results: Should work Additional info: The issue started to appear at some time in F8. I updated the system to rawhide then, but it still appears. It is weird that it works using my root account and does not work using a normal user account. When I have pulseaudio uninstalled, alsamixer also gives the error :No such device: as normal user.

Well, and why do you think it's alsa-lib bug???
Does HAL assign the tight permissions to the device? Please run getfacl /dev/snd/* and see if your name appears there. Hevr you suspended/resumed the machine or switched virtual consoles?
s/tight/right/
I used to suspend my system, but to see if it is caused by suspending I rebooted it cleanly and did not do any VT switches. getfacl /dev/snd/* does not show my user name, the output is as follows: $ getfacl /dev/snd/* getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/snd/controlC0 # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/controlC1 # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/pcmC0D0c # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/pcmC0D0p # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/pcmC0D1c # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/pcmC0D1p # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/pcmC1D0c # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/pcmC1D0p # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/seq # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::--- # file: dev/snd/timer # owner: root # group: root user::rw- group::rw- other::---
And do you run HAL? please issue these commands: $ rpm -q hal To see what version of hal do you run $ rpm -V hal to check if the installation is not corrupted $ /sbin/chkconfig --list haldaemon to see if the hal daemon is enabled $ /sbin/service haldaemon status to check if it runs and (as root) # cat /var/lib/hal/acl-list to see hal's notion of acls in effect Thanks
Also, do you run consolekit? Is your login manager consolekit-aware? Please issue: $ ck-list-sessions to see what sessions are present and active. By the way, do you have a serial console?

I have no idea how could that have happened -- did you interrupt a yum update or something? Anyways, remove them, install correctly and restart haldaemon: # rpm -q hal |xargs rpm -e --nodeps force # yum -y install hal # service haldaemon restart See if situation with ACLs improves then. Thanks!
Did not improve the situation :( $ rpm -qa | grep hal hal-info-20080215-1.fc9.noarch hal-libs-0.5.11-0.git20080304.2.fc9.i386 hal-0.5.11-0.git20080304.2.fc9.i386 $ ps -A | grep hal 5123 ? 00:00:01 hald 5124 ? 00:00:00 hald-runner 5138 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-acpi 5145 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-stor 5176 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-inpu # cat /var/lib/hal/acl-list 3244 If you need more information, please let me know. Thanks for your fast replies :)
(as root:) 1.) Please stop the haldaemon service. 2.) run hald debugging # /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes 2>&1 |tee hald.log 3.) do a VT switch to the text console and back (ctrl+alt+f1, alt+f7) 4.) Terminate the running hald with ctrl+c 5.) attach the hald.log file to this log Thanks!
Created attachment 296902 [details] hald.log Here it is. I was not able to do the VT switch because of some rawhide regression (pressing ctrl alt f1 prints ;7P to the DE instead of doing the switch)
You can use "chvt 1" to change the virtual console. Regarding the bug with ;7P, there was something similar with FC6 and cs/sk layout. Is there a bug filed for that? Anyways; your problem is this: **************************************************** 7448: got lock on /var/lib/hal/acl-list 7448: adding ACL's for /dev/snd/timer Line is malformed: '3244 ' Error getting ACL's currently applied **************************************************** HAL apparently doesn't like the line in your acl-list. No matter how could it be added there, do this as root to truncate that file: # >/dev/snd/timer and restart hal: # /sbin/service haldaemon restart That should fix the situation -- please let me know if it helped. Also, please do not close this bug until hal is changed to handle these situations. Thanks!
> You can use "chvt 1" to change the virtual console. Right, thanks :) > Regarding the bug with ;7P, there was something similar with FC6 and cs/sk layout. Is there a bug filed for that? I remember having seen one. However, there seem to be lots of regressions in the Xorg shipped in rawhide like SELinux flipping out because of Xorg and US-keymap only. Until the latest updates pressing any key crashes Xorg. I tried the workaround you gave me, but it did not work. I am going to attach the new hald.log
Created attachment 296935 [details] hald.log
I noticed that there are also other errors in the hald.log for multiple sound devices like /dev/sequencer2 and /dev/snd/seq.
[WARN 4924] kit-hash.c:206:kit_hash_insert(): key != NULL Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Ah, yes. I'm going to sleep now and will try to look at it tomorrow.
Those are just warnings, and would not cause this. Nevertheless, I must have been smoking something *bad* yesterday; of course not /dev/snd/timer is to be truncated, but /var/lib/hal/acl-list. # >/var/lib/hal/acl-list In case this doesn't help, then I'm interested how did that "3244" line make it into the acl-list. In that case the output of hal that is being launched just after truncation is interesting to me. Thanks
When it comes to those warnings; they just cause policykit not work for root I guess. It have been fixed here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=PolicyKit.git;a=commitdiff;h=4aa626d0f8b9bf9a72880a567e48f472228eca8c
It works fine now which is great! Many thanks.
And no matter what corrupted the acl-list; here's the proposed fix: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-March/011029.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-March/011030.html Reassigning to hal.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Is this now fixed with the new HAL in F9?
I don't know as the problem appeared only once and as Lubomir's fix solved the problem. If the patches http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-March/011029.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-March/011030.html are committed to the HAL in Fedora 9, it can be probably closed. But better contact Lubomir.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
