No sound after upgrade


I recently did an upgrade to slackware 11 and it was working fine until I had to reboot. Now Im having sound issues. Everytime I try to start the sound server I get:

error while loading shared libraries: libresmgr.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I ran alsaconf and had no problems but when I issue:

alsamixer or alsactl

same thing:

alsactl: error while loading shared libraries: libresmgr.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Obviously Im missing a library but goggle doesnt turn up more then a RPM file. I hate RPMs...

I found a webpage that has resmgr from source. I downloaded resmgr but it wont compile correctly.

So I download rpm that contians libresmgr.so.0.9.8 the Then ran rpm2targz and tried to configure it but I get.

configure: error: libacl is required for resmgrd

I hate rpms

Just for kicks I google libacl and come up with another lib and convert it and I get 2 files:
libacl.so.1@ libacl.so.1.1.0*

Im stumped. Any ideas?

Hi, maybe you have to install the kernel or alsa modules

http://packages.slackware.it/

You can search with the menu "remove" with pkgtool on your command line

I am getting the same problem. Not a kernel module or alsa-driver issue as far as I can tell..

well resmgr is not a library native to Slackware, so you must have installed some extra stuff on your system that was not compatible with the upgrade, or you did not preform the upgrade correctly.

Does running the following command return any results?
Code:
find /etc | grep ".new"
if so, I would recomend re-reading the upgrade instructions.

Otherwise, you can build resmgr from source. http://packages.debian.org/stable/source/resmgr

But if you do this, I would expect you will need to install extra dependencies as well since Slackware does not use this package.

there is a Slackware package for this library. http://packages.slackware.it/search....t&t=2&q=libacl

**edit again**
The alsactl binary included with Slackware 11.0 were compiled agaisnt these shared libraries:
Code:
root@dsk:/pkg/src/# ldd /usr/sbin/alsactl
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xb7e62000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7e3f000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e3b000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7e29000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7cfa000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f3e000)
You might want to check your own instalation before going on a wild goose chase.

I tried installing libresmgr-1.0 since that is the only version around and it didn't work (because of major version incompatibilities I suppose). I found an RPM of 0.9.8 and installed that. I no longer get errors about that library. Now I get:
Code:
relocation error: alsamixer: symbol snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_dB, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference
Something is royaly screwed up. I've tried reinstalling alsa and everything I can think of.

How did you reinstall alsa? And I'm assuming you have coppied all the .new files to their proper location? If you have not done so allready, try doing this from the slackware directory on the CD.

Code:
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new */alsa*.tgz
If this does not work, you will need to manually remove the files from a previous (and messed up) alsa install, then run the command again.

The truth is: I do not use Slackware. I should have specified that. I was responding to the OP because there is not much info on this problem, and I hoped that it may be a problem with the alsa package.

Regardless, I found the 0.9.8 rpm as well. Fortunately I already have libacl and it installed. Now I have another problem, but it is for a new thread .

Good luck tcp.
