Current bug? "file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state lock error: No such file or directory"
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ERTG)
I am testing updating 14.2 to Current on a Lenovo T400. With rc.alsa executable I always see the following error:
Code:file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state lock error: No such file or directoryBoth the directory and file exist. 0755 permissions and root:root ownership.
Using alsactl -L avoids the errors.
Both aplay and speaker-test function fine.
Booting with rc.alsa not executable also works.
What is causing the error?
Is rc.alsa needed any more?
Thanks. :)
