Dear all,
(using Linux Mint - latest release - fully updated)
This afternoon I had a kernel panic at approx 6pm, I rebooted the machine and it appeared to hang before grub loaded.
I hard rebooted again, and it asked me which kernel to load, I chose the normal kernel and everything appeared to work, until I tried loading music.
I went to Menu > Preferences > Sound. I pressed Test and got the following feedback:
Code:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument
In this window, the option to select a Device is greyed out, and no device is selected.
I tried running alsaconf, it showed my soundcard as an option, but after finishing, no mixers or programs could access my soundcard.
I tried rebooting, then the system hung again, but I left it for a while, and it came up with the following:
Code:
859.932163] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting.
cifs_mount failed w/ return code = -110
859.954919] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting.
cifs_mount failed w/ return code = -512
Then continued loading. Sound still has not returned.
I do not use CIFS at all, but I do have some smbfs mounts in my /etc/fstab.
I have tried reinstalling ALSA, and installing OSS, all to little avail, would appreciate any comments/suggestions.
