The 90-alsa-restore.rules udev rule is primarily meant to handle hotplugging, but sometimes it is also run before /usr is mounted, and alsactl restore depends on /usr/share/alsa being present.
If /usr/share/alsa is not present, we're so early in the boot process that alsa-restore.service (or upstart equivalent) will run later on. BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289730 Signed-off-by: David Henningsson <david.hennings...@canonical.com> --- I'm not really sure of all quirks in the boot process, and I haven't tested the patch either, hence the RFC above. Do you think it makes sense? Should we also add @sbindir@ to the things to test for? alsactl/90-alsa-restore.rules.in | 2 +- alsactl/Makefile.am | 1 + configure.ac | 1 + 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/alsactl/90-alsa-restore.rules.in b/alsactl/90-alsa-restore.rules.in index c68119d..c83c6b5 100644 --- a/alsactl/90-alsa-restore.rules.in +++ b/alsactl/90-alsa-restore.rules.in @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", KERNELS!="card*", GOTO="alsa_restore_go" +ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", KERNELS!="card*", TEST=="@datadir@", GOTO="alsa_restore_go" GOTO="alsa_restore_end" LABEL="alsa_restore_go" diff --git a/alsactl/Makefile.am b/alsactl/Makefile.am index b862412..afbedb3 100644 --- a/alsactl/Makefile.am +++ b/alsactl/Makefile.am @@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ endif edit = \ $(SED) -r -e 's,@sbindir\@,$(sbindir),g' \ + -e 's,@datadir\@,$(mydatadir),g' \ -e 's,@daemonswitch\@,$(ALSACTL_DAEMONSWITCH),g' \ < $< > $@ || rm $@ diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 7e6894a..a4d2db3 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -292,6 +292,7 @@ AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(SOUNDSDIR, "$soundsdir", [directory containing sample data]) mydatadir="$dir/alsa" AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(DATADIR, "$mydatadir", [directory containing alsa configuration]) +AC_SUBST(mydatadir) AC_ARG_WITH(testsound, AS_HELP_STRING([--with-testsound=file], [give the path of test sound file for alsaconf]), -- 1.9.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289730 Title: systemd-udev fails to execute alsactl during start-up if /usr and/or /var are separate volumes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/1289730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
