How did you do the update?
What specific version of 5.2.8.7?

No Sound Subject description: Lucid 5.2.8.7 Upgrade |
|
Booted off the 5.2.8.7 iso CD downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/download/ndza54d2babdzua/lupu-5.2.8.7-20150702.iso Ran the install process and selected Upgrade. Elected not to do the grub stuff.
Noticed that I had sound when booted from CD OK but not after upgrade on hard drive full installation
Sorry should I be in the lucid revitalised forum (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461)
Thanks for your help
Have spent time analysing and found new rc.sysinit deletes /dev/snd as part of initialising. However they are not recreated. Copying devices from another machine restores sound after alsamixer is run to unmute etc.
Comment out the rm /dev/snd works around the problem
hope this helps someone

Re: Alsa Sound wizard Subject description: Alsa sound wizard does not create devices in /dev/snd |

rswain wrote: | Hi,
I have 2x5.2.8.5 full hd installations that I updated to 5.2.8.7.
On both /dev/snd is not populated so alsamixer and aplay do not work giving segment errors for aplay and empty window for alsamixer.
I have checked the module is loaded OK on both machines and /proc entries are ok. The configuration appears to be successful but the udev section where the /dev/snd entries are created appears not to work.
I suspect a change to rules.d or a library change.
Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks |
This is how I create the missing device nodes :
/etc/init.d/alsa :
Code: | ###<KRG>
mkdir -p /dev/snd
D=`find /sys -type d -name "*sound*"`
POOL=''
for i in $D ; do
##echo $i ;
DEV=`find $i -type f -name "dev" -exec echo -n {}@ \; -exec cat {} \; | tr ':' '@' -exec echo \; ` ;
POOL="$POOL $DEV" ;
done
POOL=`echo $POOL | rev`
for i in $POOL ; do
NODE=`echo $i | cut -f 3 -d '@'`
NODE=`echo $NODE | rev`
NODE=`basename $(dirname $(echo $NODE) )`
MAJ=`echo $i | cut -f 2 -d '@'`
MAJ=`echo $MAJ | rev`
Min=`echo $i | cut -f 1 -d '@'`
Min=`echo $Min| rev`
echo "$NODE" "$MAJ" "$Min"
rm -f /dev/$NODE
mknod /dev/$NODE c $MAJ $Min
rm -f /dev/snd/$NODE
mknod /dev/snd/$NODE c $MAJ $Min
done
###</KRG>
if [ -f /etc/asound.state ] ; then
alsactl -f /etc/asound.state restore #from /etc/asound.state.
else
#try and set all levels workable...
#set_mixers #in functions4puppy4
amixer -s -q <<EOF |

Restore Lucid Repository |
|
The traditional repositories for Lucid Pup have been moved (by ubuntu) to "old-releases", so are no longer usable by Lucid Pups prior to "5.2.8.7". To regain a usable repository, install the attached package, which removes the old repos and adds old-releases.
The package simply replaces the ubuntu-compatible-repo file, /root/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS, with the one from 5.2.8.7.
Thanks to CGP for alerting me to the problem.

Replaces DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS with 5.2.8.7 version, for old-releases.

I have maintained lucid-suitable recent versions of libreoffice here:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/vz99da11adan8/LibreOffice
You probably should use one of them, because current SFS files in the forum may use "xz" compression, which 528-005 does not support.
Or you could download a 5.2.8.7 'lupuplus' ISO file and take the libreoffice and optional java SFS files from it.
Just put the SFS file(s) in the same folder as the puppy SFS and lupusave files, and use the boot manager to "install" it, then reboot.
