ping on the above. For people who have not seen the bug here it's in
short and sweet.

This is my device list :-

$ aplay -l
 List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices 
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1705 Analog [VT1705 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: VT1705 HP [VT1705 HP]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

This is the error I get whenever I'm trying to play any sound.

$ aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay: main:682: audio open error: Device or resource busy

Any ideas as to what could be making that device/resource busy ?

I used an oldish kernel but still the issue remained, now on the
current version for sid.

$ apt-show-versions -a linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 install ok installed
No stable version
linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 testing  http.debian.net
linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 3.2.20-1 unstable http.debian.net
linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64/testing uptodate 3.2.20-1

Looking forward to what the issue could be.

Strange. Did you set up encryption as well?

What might help is the output of pvs, vgs and lvs (everything as root or
using sudo). If you cannot think of anything else to try, please remove
swap2 again and document all the steps you take to create it again (all
commands including complete output).

Welcome on board! Using Debian as the first distro is a wise choice. I
did the same and never seriously considered using anything else.

Just a general advice: you can save yourself some trouble by preferring
Debian-related documentation. The link above applies to Debian as well,
but with only a few weeks of Linux experience you probably cannot always
tell whether you should be doing something "the Debian way" or not.

> #2nd_swap

Your entry for swap2 differs from the entry generated by the installer.
It should still wotrk, though. I just tried it myself.

> (tried /dev/HU/swap2 instead of /dev/mapper/HU-swap2. Did not work.)

/dev/HU/swap2 is just a symlink anyway.

This looks like you already have active swap. Use 'ls -l /dev/mapper' to
see which LV is /dev/dm3.

> Output of mount /dev/HU/swap2
> mount: mount point none does not exist

You cannot use 'mount' to activate swap. This isn't supposed to work.
Using 'swapon' is correct.

Swap does not mount [swapon failed: Device or resource busy]

Hi,

The swap partition did not mount post-installation (Debian "Squeeze"
(Xfce)).
Created a 2nd swap partition, & planned to delete the earlier swap
partition. The 2nd swap partition doesn't mount either.

How about opening two audio players instances, both from a local source?

sound device or resource busy

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi,

Running Sid. Which just upgraded libaudio2, libaudio-dev and nas from 
1.9.2-7 to 1.9.2-8.


I run 2 sound apps: mplayer(sound nly)  and a nas app, that uses nas and 
libaudio2 and liaudio-dev.


Since the upgrade I can only run 1: either the nas app or mplayer, and 
for the other I get:


[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Device or resource busy

I think it is a bug. But or what package?

Re: libc6 upgrade: device or resource busy - SOLVED

[Spencer Russell]

YES!! So I didn't have to reinstall, I found out from a bug
report that in one case the lsbdev package was the problem. So I
did a dpkg -P lsbdev, and then apt-get let me upgrade libc6 just
fine. So I guess this is a bug in the lsbdev package?

here's a copy of the email I sent describing the problem:

I fear your NIC is damaged.

The message just says that a problem with that
device has been encountered. But ifconfig showing errors is a bad sign -
might be driver problems or hardware. If you did not change anything I
would guess it is a hardware problem. As Windows has problems with the
card, too, a hardware problem is quite sure.

If you can put the NIC in another PC, and another NIC in your PC.

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy

[Brian Walker]

Greetings all,

The subject line is the response I get when I try to establish a link to 
the internet.

Debian Woody, dual booting with XP. Self-built box. All was working 
well. I had not switched off the computer (I usually do, because the 
internal cooling was not coping with Hong Kong un-airconditioned 
temperatures, although that seemed to have settled) Receiving 20MB of 
spam and viruses, I kept sylpheed running to avoid filling the ISP 
mailbox (next task is to get mutt functioning with spamassassin)

Noticed erratic connectivity - assumed it was ISP issues, as ifup would 
sort the problem.

Now I cannot connect at all via the SMC Fast Ethernet PCI card, and 
although XP has no problems with the internal windows modem, it also 
refuses the SMC card.

1. Is the problem on the NIC?
2. What is a SIOCSIFFLAG when it is at home?
3. Googling for other solutions, I see that disabling PnP may help - but 
not in my case. What else can be suggested?

The ifconfig is OK - although Tx errors are present with nil arriving. 
ifup eth0 causes a long pause for thought, with the "SIOCSIFFLAG Driver 
or resource busy"  message.

I am grateful for any ideas.

Brian

ALSA : /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy

[Pierre THIERRY]

I'm trying to have some sound coming out of my machine, but after having
a kernel with sound, alsa modules installed, I can't get any sound. Here
are the modules loaded :

snd-ens1371 9440   1
snd-rawmidi12256   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-seq-device  3968   0  [snd-rawmidi]

snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer
snd-mixer-oss]
soundcore   3492   6  (autoclean) [snd]

I've configured the mixers with alsamixer, then tried to ogg123
something, and after some problems, ran :

$ artsd

it cleaned some MCOP files, and I can have ogg or xmms play sound, but I
don't hear anything. (xmms's levels are moving, though).I have this
error when using ogg123 :

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:597:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed:
Device or resource busy

and using XMMS :

mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

If I run artsd as root, I've got the same error, plus :

=== Could not load default driver and no driver specified in config
file. Exiting.

for ogg123, and :

arts_init error: can't connect to aRts soundserver

for xmms.

As artsd lacks manpages, I can't find any help in the documentation, and
the website didn't help much more...

device or resource busy

[Brian Rose]

Hi,
I have a Seagate Tapestor Travan 20 (IDE) tape drive.  I want to have it
do automated backups, but it records in /var/log/messages:
(Not quoting)

device or resource busy  [offset 0]

The tape drive is /dev/hdc and I use the ide-scsi module with an
"append=..." to lilo to ensure it makes the connection between /dev/hdc
and /dev/nst0.

Does anyone know why the tape drive is busy if nothing is using it?  How
do I fix this?

Brian

As others have said, try the 8139too driver.  You may also have to move to a
newer kernel (2.2.19 or later).  Be aware that DLink has put out several
revisions of that card and some need newer/different versions of the 8139
driver.

There is also a driver named 8139too. Sometimes if works when rtl8139 doesn't.
Try it.

It is. I have the same card and it's rtl8139 under 2.2.x. 8139too under

Check in your mobo book (or at the manufacturer's site) to see what IRQs are
assigned to which PCI slot. Some are shared. Then switch the card to a
non-shared slot.

try the 8139too driver aswell. Its suited better to some 8139 based
cards

If you read the source code comments in the 8139 driver code, you'll
probably want to go out and get a better card though :) The chipset
design sounds rather woefull.

What does 'lsmod' output and does 'dmesg' say anything about the NIC?  Are you
absolutely sure this is the correct chipset too?

Well, I have had the strangest problems with NIC's sometimes.  The machine
that I'm writing this from right now has two NIC's (one realtek 8139, the
other is a 3COM 905C).  However, they would not work in _any_ OS unless I
switched the order in the slots.  If worst comes to worst, try putting it in a
different slot, and when the table of IRQ's shows at boot up, pause it, and
check to make sure it has an IRQ too.  Another thing that I find helps on some
systems is toggling the option of Plug and Play in the BIOS setup, ie. if it's
on, try turning it off.  There also seems to be another realtek 8139 driver
called 8139too in the Linux kernel, I have never used this, but maybe it might
solve your particular problem.

Device or resource busy error.

[James Rende]

Folks. 

I am trying to get my aging machine as far away from
Windows as humanly possible. I can't, however, get
Debian to recognize my NIC. When I try to run modprobe
rtl8139 as root, I get an error telling me that the
Device is not ready or in use. 

I'm running Debian 2.2r2 Kernel 2.2.17 

The card is a DLink DFE-530TX+ 

My hardware, (please don't laugh to loudly) is an
older Via chipset bios, AMD K6 2/450. 

The card is functioning in windows, so I know it isn't
bad hardware. 

Does anyone have a solution or suggestion I can try to
get Debian running online?

Thanks.

James

You don't have to use a precious IRQ for the printer, it dosn't
require one.  Try adding this append line in lilo.conf
append  = "apm=on lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none"

Aeh, is this also true for 2.0-series-kernels (this box runs 2.0.38)?

bash-2.03$ pwd
/usr/src/linux-2.0.38
bash-2.03$ find . -name parport* -print

Anyway, it was solely my own fault for not thinking to specify the 
 I/O-port firstplace. PEBKAC

Today I´m not quite filled with cluons, it seems. The lusers at work 
 must´ve drained ´em all...

Of course, when I tell lp.o about the io-port also, everything works 
 just fine.

bash-2.03# modprobe lp irq=5 io=0x278

syslog:
Jul  6 20:44:31 WatchZwerg kernel: lp0 at 0x0278, (irq = 5)

 sufficient anymore :/

lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

[Robert Waldner]

Hi!

I had to reconfigure my printer port from IRQ 7 to IRQ 5 (because I´ve 
got a soundcard which is hardwired to IRQ 7 ).

Luckily I had compiled lp as a module, so I thought a simple change from
`modprobe lp irq=7` to "irq=5" should suffice. Nope:

bash-2.03# insmod lp.o irq=5
lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

syslogs tells:
Jul  6 20:06:14 WatchZwerg kernel: lp0: Not found
Jul  6 20:06:14 WatchZwerg kernel: lp: No override devices found.

But as far as I can tell IRQ 5 is free:
bash-2.03# cat /proc/interrupts 
 0:  70383   timer
 1:   2356   keyboard
 2:  0   cascade
 4:   5556 + serial
 7:  0   sound blaster
 9: 54   eth0
10:783   eth1
12: 61 + 53c7,8xx
13:  1   math error

Only one comes to mind.  From the Kernel Config help file  --

PLIP (parallel port) support
CONFIG_PLIP
  PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
  reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
  local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
  install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a CDROM
  drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies first).
  The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option enabled
  for this to work.

I use parport and friends.  Using PLIP to talk to the printer is a new one for 
me.

I guess YMMV.

Bus error on eth0, network card works, but lpr says device or resource busy.

[Patrick Klee]

Hi,
I am trying to install Debian Potato, on my PC.  But, when I enable plip
(parallel port support), I get an error with lpr saying device or resource
busy.  Now what's weird, is the night before, I was on IRC, and I got a bus
error on eth0 but the network card works fine.  That happened on redhat.

Anyone have any ideas?  I might have caught that worm that closes ports and
the port for the printer and ethernet card is closed, I am unsure.  Man, I
want Debian so bad I can taste it :-)

because there was also an error about missing swap signature or something like 
that (but it went away after I created the new swap partition and 
reformatted).
Thanks,

PCMCIA: Device or resource busy error

[Andrew Perrin]

Greetings again -

Still trying to get my second PCMCIA network card up and running. I
managed to compile cs89x0_cs and get it installed right. I've verified
that the card is visible to cardmgr:

achebe:/etc/pcmcia# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "3Com Corporation", "3C589", "TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a",
"02"
  manfid: 0x0101, 0x0589

Part Number - 85H4801"
  manfid: 0x00a4, 0x003f
  function: 6 (network)

I've set up /etc/pcmcia/network.opts like this:

case "$ADDRESS" in
*,0,*,*)
# Transceiver selection, for some cards -- see 'man ifport'
IF_PORT="10baseT"
# Use /sbin/pump for BOOTP/DHCP? [y/n]

But when I do killall -HUP cardmgr, the IBM adapter doesn't load right.
The error is "Device or resource busy":

I get the same response when I manually do an insmod cs89x0_cs. Any

Hi,

if you compile the driver into the kernel, you only have to do:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

asuumed that your kernel detects your card correctly.

That's what  I thought  but when  I tried it,  it looks  like ifconfig
tried running modprobe automatically.  I've got stuff in /etc/network/
though, maybe something there is screwing it up..

3c59x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

[Krzys Majewski]

So I'm trying to teach my boot floppies to do networking.. 
I try to insmod my NIC driver, 3c59x.c, but I get this:

3c59x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

What now? With my usual kernel  this module is loaded with no options,
and I'm  trying this on the  same hardware. insmod  reports no modules
loaded when I do this, so I can't see why there should be a conflict.

I could  compile this driver  into the kernel,  but then I  don't know
what to do when ifconfig tries to run modprobe. Wassup y'all?

Unfortunately, this is one of the situations in which a reboot may be
the *only* way to free a resource.  I could be wrong, but this is my
general understanding.

Ok, freeamp crashed with the audio device open (/dev/dsp).  Nothing can use
the device.  fuser and lsof show nothing active on /dev/dsp.  No lock files
in /var/lock/.

I can't rmmod the sound modules because they're "in use".  I rm'd /dev/dsp
and mknod'd it but still nothing.  The sound modules won't go away with
/dev/dsp gone either.

Is there a way to remove files that are in use?

Better yet, how do I fix this problem?

A reboot should of course, fix it, but that doesn't solve the actual problem.

How might that be the problem?

(That line is output, so it can't be the problem (the cause), 
although it could be symptom of a problem.  However, that's
output from a working system, so it's not a symptom of any
problem on that system.)

Were you thinking that it indicates that my motherboard has
an odd printer port?  Weren't lp devices renumbered (from 
lp1-3 to lp0-2) between kernels 2.0.x and 2.2.x?  



What I'd really like to know is what resource the "Device 
or resource busy" message refers to.

Does anyone know what internal call is returning the "Device 
or resource busy" error code that init_module is printing out?

Try running "depmod -a" by hand (as root); this command will make your
modules.dep. If this is ok, take a look at /etc/init.d/modutils: this
script run depmod at init; see if a symlink (S20modutils) to this file
exist in /etc/rsS.d

Here's something else I noticed:

When the system boots, right before the first installation program
dialog comes up, a number of repeated messages flash by on the screen, 
saying (approximately--they flashed by):
   ... modprobe: can't open dependency file /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep

Also, I noticed a message on the fourth virtual console (I had booted 
with "linux verbose debug"):

   kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped 


I tried running modprobe from the command line, and got the same
error message (one).


Are those messages normal?

potato installation problem: lp driver; get "init_module: Device or resource busy" message

[Daniel Barclay]

I'm having trouble with the current pre-release of potato.  I
can't tell if this is a bug, an odd incompatibility in my system 
(which works fine with slink), or something I'm doing wrong.


When I get to the step of configuring device drivers, I can't 
install module lp.

When I try, I get these error messages (copied by hand, so typos 
are possible):

  /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
  Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
  /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o
failed
  /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: insmod lp failed

I thought there might be some requirement to configure the parport 
module first, but when I configured it and then tried lp again, I 
got the same messages from the installation system.

I also tried insmod from the shell on the second virtual console, 
both trying lp by itself and trying parport and then lp.  In all 
cases, I got the "/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: init_module: Device 
or resource busy" error.

On a previous attempt (details not written down, unfortunately), I 
tried several IRQ and IO settings, but always got the error message.



I don't know of anything special or weird on my machine.  (It works fine
with slink.)

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-5AX rev. 3.0.

Here's the output of dmesg from my usual slink system (I was installing
potato on a spare partition):

You're not by any chance running a CD player? Some of them have a habit of

cd_doEject[CDROMEJECT]: Device or resource busy

[Björn Elwhagen]

Hi!

I have a strange problem. Even tho my cdrom is unmounted i can't get it
to eject the CD. I'm currently using the IDE-SCSI emulation but the same
problem occured when i used the ATAPI-driver. The only message i get is:

cd_doEject[CDROMEJECT]: Device or resource busy

Has anyone seen or heard of this problem before?

Can anyone perhaps give me a hint to where i can look up locked/used
devices and such? I've checked around a bit in /proc but haven't been
able to spot anything that i can relate to this.

Anything that might be useful would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Well, it turns out I had installed something called "nas", Network
Audio Support.  Never heard of it.  Guess it was a new package.  That
was part of the conflict.

I also went to the BIOS, gave the parallel port IRQ 5 (Yep, you were
right.  It wanted 7!!!), and recompiled the kernel with sound on IRQ
7, and voila!  It worked.  NAS looks pretty cool, I must say, but I'll
wait until I get everything else working before I dig into it...  :-)

Hmmm, I'll try this out if I can't find another solution.  (Try
rolling another kernel, that is.)  But my gut tells me something else
is wrong, because I'm using the same specs on another SB16, albeit
newer SB16, in another machine.

Thanks!

Thanks very much.  I listed lsof /dev/audio as root, and it turned out
I had a mismatched System.map file from my kernel build.  However, I
copied the new System.map to the correct location, and I still get the
same "device or resource busy" error.  I'll experiment a little more
with the System.map and see if I can get anywhere.  Meantime, can you
think of anything more?  (There was no output from lsof /dev/audio
last time I checked.)

Thanks again!

Rvplayer just crashed on me and now I keep on getting "device or

Does anyone know a way of resetting this other than rebooting?  I
tried removing /dev/dsp and recreating it with mknod, but that didn't
help.

Thanks,

Device or resource busy

[Fabian Knittel]

Hello...


I'd like to install my ethernet card (Intel EtherExpress PRO LAN Adapter
with Flash). But when I try to install the module eepro it gives me this
message:

-- snip --

loading device 'eth0' ...
/lib/modules/2.0.29/net/eepro.o init_module: Device or resource busy

Installation failed.

-- snip --

What am I doing wrong?? When I try to change to change the io-port or
interrupt it still fails. By the way, I'm trying to do this on a 386 with
only 4 Megs of RAM, but that doesn't seem to be it, does it?

Can someone help me with this?
P.S. I am not currently subscribed to this list (only getting the digested
stuff), so please CC any responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That would be
really nice. Thanks in advance.
P.P.S I'm a beginner in Linux... :)

thanks - NAS was the problem!  it must have been automatically
taking over /dev/audio and /dev/dsp from boot, preventing other
usage of these drivers

I assume the BIOS setups only the sb part of the sound card.  The
initilisation of the MIDI sythesizer is left to the DOS drivers
(ctpnp, diagnose, aweutil) or to ISAPNP.

No, I have 2.0.30 with the awedrv 0.3.99c installed and everything
(including MIDI) workes fine.

Check if something like NAS (network audio system) is started.  This
is a demon that blocks /dev/dsp (and all the other) and gives network
wide access to your soundcard.  Just check if there is a
/etc/init.d/nas file, if so try

/etc/init.d/nas stop

and try access /dev/audio after this.

I have a SB AWE-32 PNP (does someone know: how I get my bios to set up pnp
properly? I have a PNP Bios, I think, but I need isapnptools. Why? I didn't

strange. I have sound in my modules, and it works just fine.
I compared my /dev/sndstat with yours, and they are nearly identical (i have
a wrong SB MPU-401 line, without an address specified and with irq 1. I have
to check this with the next kernel compile.)

BTW: How do you get this:

I have it not.

However, one thing I saw: I use kernel 2.0.29, you 2.0.30. Could this be the
reason?

sound module: /dev/audio: Device or resource busy

[Phil Schniter]

hello,

 i am experiencing strange behavior when attempting to load sound 
 support as a module.  i have a debian 1.3.1 system and a SB AWE-64
 PNP card, which i have installed using the isapnptools.  the fact
 that the pnp boards need to be configured before the sound drivers
 mandates that sound must be supported by a module, i.e. not included 
 directly in the kernel.  for this reason, /etc/init.d/boot makes sure 
 that pnp configuration is taken care of _before_ modules are loaded.

 things seem to work fine when i do NOT include the "sound" line in
 my /etc/modules file, and instead do "insmod sound" manually after 
 rebooting.  however, when i include "sound" or "auto" in /etc/modules, 
 i get the message 
   /dev/audio: Device or resource busy
 whenever i try to access /dev/audio (or likewise with /dev/dsp).

 i have confirmed that there is no conflict with IRQs, and the
 output of /dev/sndstat seems to indicate that everything is ok.
 (i have included it below.)

 does anybody know why the boot-time loading of the sound module
 is not working?

phil

I've read Stoyan's reply, so I know that this fixed the problem.
However, I don't think you need to uninstall NAS. Besides, you'll need
it to run NAS-aware programs. Surely you can simply say:

   /etc/init.d/nas stop

or whatever the name is (don't have access to the machine right now).
Stoyan, I suggest you reinstall NAS and try this.

Have you installed `nas' (the `network audio system') ?  It takes over
your sound hardware permanently.  If you have then deinstall it.

/dev/audio & /dev/dsp Device or resource busy ???

[Stoyan Kenderov]

Hello DEBIAN user/programmers,

After kernel v2.0.0 I have been unable to produce any sound on my SB16
sound card. 

Is there a known bug (up until kernel 2.0.15) in the SB16 code of USS that I
missed during my vacations?

The sparing comments in the source point to an IRQ or DMA conflict when one
gets constant "Device or Resource busy" mesages on each:

cat blabla.au > /dev/audioor
cat uuhuu.wav > /dev/dsp

But I haven't changed anything in the configuration of my hardware, nor my
kernel parameters...

Sorry but I didn't encounter any hint's in my /var/adm/messages eighter.
The USS does not permit compilation with DEBUGING on, does it?

Thankfull for any hints or suggestions,

regards,
Stoyan
