Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.27.2-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear maintainers,
in X2Go [1] we develop a thinclient [2] that boots via PXE. This PXE
environment has
alsa-utils and pulseaudio installed. By some reason, alsa-utils tries to start
pulseaudio during boot and we get these error messages (many of them...):
"""
Failed to create secure directory (//.config/pulse): No such file or directory.
"""
This problem is caused by amixer in /usr/share/alsa/utils.sh not being aware of
any set home directory during processing of the alsa-utils init script.
The attached patch fixes this issue. The thinclient system we currently test is
built
against a Debian jessie system.
light+love,
Mike
