DSP Permissions Reset Themselves in RH9
After applying
[root@P4-2000 root]# chmod 777 /dev/dsp yesterday, I found upon boot today Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. and [root@P4-2000 root]# ls -l /dev/dsp crw------- 1 root root 14, 3 Jan 30 2003 /dev/dsp i) Why do permissions not stay the way I set them? ii) Why does the above message say 'No such device' when /dev/dsp clearly exists? iii) What is the name of the sound server? :confused: Alan Wed 19Nov2003 1pm ET |
So no one knows anything about this? :(
|
if it's any consolation, i have the same problem under Mandrake 9.2, and would welcome any help.

not sure...
i found another post on this subject telling to modify a line in /etc/security/console.perms.
the line is: <console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root.audio to be changed to: <console> 0660 <sound> 0660 root.audio not sure it works...i'll see tomorrow cos i don't feel like rebooting now :D tell you if it works ;) |
(almost) definitely
seems to work...even if console.perms should set owner to root and my actual owner is set to the first user logging into kde
secondary problem as the important part is the group...:scratch: |
