Hi,
I am using etch(kernel 2.6.13) with Xorg and GNOME. Recently I installed some package, which required 'udev' as one of the dependencies. Now after installing udev and the other packages.
Now after installing udev, I find that there is no /dev/dsp file and I can no longer play my audio files through xmms. Before installing udev I was able to play and the device file /dev/dsp file had existed.
Now why does this happen? I have heard lots of about udev and problems related with it. What are some steps which are specific to debian after installing udev?
Are there any other things which I need to take care? Also to get my sound back, do I have to create the device file /dev/dsp (by mknod)? From what I have read about 'udev' which is:
Code:
udev is a daemon which dynamically creates and removes device nodes from /dev/, handles hotplug events and loads drivers at boot time. It replaces the hotplug package and requires a kernel not older than 2.6.12.
Then why doesn't it creates the /dev/dsp device in my case??
Thank you in advacne.
