On Sun, 18 May 2008 the mental interface of Ross Boylan told: > Package: alsa-base > Version: 1.0.16-1.1 > Severity: normal > > I don't know if the ultimate cause of this problem lies in iceweasel, > KDE, alsa, or the kernel, but this seemed like the best place to report it. > > I get this message repeatedly in .xsession-errors: > ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave > > I originally noticed it when iceweasel kept crashing on startup and > attempting to restore a session, but it continued even with iceweasel > killed. Disabling the KDE sound system caused the message to stop. > > An internet search shows others encountering this exact error message; > the cause and the fix seems elusive. The reports seem to mention > Intel audio often, and firefox/iceweasel. I've got both. > > One reported said the the intel driver has been unloaded (if I > understand it); lsmod shows it's still in memory for me. > > When I restarted the KDE sound system, .xsession-errors showed > unable to connect to sound server > unable to connect to sound server > unable to connect to sound server > unable to connect to sound server > unable to connect to sound server > ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave Seems to be a bug ins arts more than in alsa. Check also your arts config, which I am not an expert ;) Elimar -- You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
