Dearest ones, after compiling and installing the vanilla 2.6.31.6 kernel in my Acer Aspire One AOA150 / Debian Lenny system, the soundcard was ignored and shown as unavailable by GStreamer, gamix, aplay, etc. It has been working very fine with a vanilla 2.6.29 kernel and my user account was already part of group "audio". I could notice that aplay -l would show the soundcard if I used the command in a root terminal, and nothing in a user terminal. Opening a sound file as root worked flawlessly. So I remembered that, just like I did when compiling the 2.6.29 kernel, the "security" option in .config was on. I decided to recompile 2.6.31.6 with the security flag off and reinstall it, and the sound started to work again. In spite of the problem being solved, I thought that you might like to know that... Thank you!
Hi, Exactly which specific CONFIG_ option are you referring to, please? Thanks.
Thanks for asking, Randy. It is exactly the CONFIG_SECURITY option, according to what I see in menuconfig. bugzilla-daemon@bugzilla.kernel.org escreveu: > http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14675 > > > Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |randy.dunlap@oracle.com > > > > > --- Comment #1 from Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> 2009-11-23 > 22:31:31 --- > Hi, > Exactly which specific CONFIG_ option are you referring to, please? > Thanks. >
Can you paste your .config after re-enabling the option that causes you trouble (and verifying that there is in fact a problem)?
Sorry, Serge, I was not able to reproduce the problem. I tried to recompile the kernel changing only the CONFIG_SECURITY option to enabled, and after boot the sound was working for my regular account. Maybe another option (which I might have changed in my multiple attempts to make 2.6.31 work perfectly) was causing the sound to work only for root, but I really can't figure out which one.
