Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.20-1 Severity: normal
Fresh-out-of-the-box install of Sid on a PowerMac G4 has no sound and /etc/init.d/alsa-utils gives a flood of error messages. The fix is to put "snd-powermac" into /etc/modules so that module is loaded at boot time. That gives sound and also fixes the error messages. For some reason, the snd-powermac module isn't recognized by whatever software is supposed to handle such things as being necessary on the G4 PowerMac machines. I don't know enough about how this works to direct it to the correct package to get it fixed. Is this done in the installer? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alsa-utils depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.20-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090523-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii linux-sound-base 1.0.20+dfsg-1 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii module-init-tools 3.7-pre9-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii whiptail 0.52.10-3 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe Versions of packages alsa-utils recommends: ii alsa-base 1.0.20+dfsg-1 ALSA driver configuration files ii pciutils 1:3.1.2-5 Linux PCI Utilities alsa-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
