modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command for sound_slot_1
...and sound_slot_2 and sound_slot_3. This is triggered when a Gnome session with Gnome-Volume-Control is started. I've been through all the /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modules.d configuration stuff (the Linux version of Windoze "dll hell" IMO) and nothing has made a difference, not even deleting all references to sound-slot-1 through 7. As soon as I crank up a Gnome session with the GVC applet or
manually start the mixer I can generate the messages. It's retarded because I only have one sound card, and I can't find a way to tell GVC (or any other Gnome-Media package) that I only have one sound card and not to attempt to run post-install scripts for 3 other sound cards. FWIW this only started after installing kernel 2.6.8 (previous kernel was 2.4.27). Any help anybody can give me on this would be appreciated. Thanks. :confused: |
I've narrowed the cause down to the Gnome-Volume-Control applet. When the first Gnome session and subsequent VNC sessions with gnome-session as the application start, as soon as the applet is placed on the panel the FATAL error message(s) appear.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! MAKEDEV (sbin/makedev) script creates dsp1 through 3 no matter how many sound cards are present. 'fuser -v /dev/dsp(n)' shows which user owns the device, and no user owned dsp1 through 3. After deleting dsp1 through dsp3 the error messages are GONE.
All bugs must be killed. |
crap, one of them is back! sound-slot-1, after a recent kernel recompile, to take OUT support for sound cards I do not have. This one is tricky...
