Hi,
Thank you Elimar for the rapid answer
$ LANG=C ; alsamixer
Segmentation fault
And this line in dmesg :
Jan 25 20:19:05 pcplat53 kernel: [ 273.757100] alsamixer[3014] general
protection ip:7f1b8c903fd0 sp:7fffa61e3c80 error:0 in
libasound.so.2.0.0[7f1b8c8ba000+eb000]
Hmm, this looks more like a hardware failure....
Did this happens within X? Try to reinstall alsa-utils. Are there
more applications which give a segfault? Defect RAM?
I reinstall alsa-utils and libasound2 but i get the same error.
This is the only error i see in dmesg.
I test the memory for half an hour with Dell tools from the laptop
bios (latitude e6420) but no ram errors.
When i run alsamixer with strace the last access file is
/var/run/gdm3/auth-for-guy-IhSTSE/database
I notice that after "/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop", alsamixer
works fine in a console.
Guy
