Description Kamil Rytarowski 2011-11-26 23:17:08 CET 
Description of problem:
Hello!
I have installed a minimal system, later task-x11, task-gnome and then xboard.

It reports errors:
    ALSA lib conf.c:3407:(config_file_open) cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d//99-default.conf
    ALSA lib conf.c:3327:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or directory
    ALSA lib conf.c:3769:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing configuration
    aplay: main:660: audio open error: No such file or directory

After some research:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 lis 26 14:22 /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d//99-default.conf -> ../../../../etc/sound/profiles/current/alsa-default.con
 
$ env LC_ALL=C ls -lh /etc/sound/profiles/current/alsa-default.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/sound/profiles/current/alsa-default.conf: No such file or directory
 
$ env LC_ALL=C ls -lh /etc/sound/profiles/current/
canberra.conf profile.conf snd-oss.conf
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$rpm -qa|grep alsa
    alsa-utils-1.0.24.2-5.mga2
    lib64alsa2-1.0.24.1-6.mga2
    lib64alsa-oss0-1.0.17-6.mga1
    libalsa-data-1.0.24.1-6.mga2
    lib64alsa-plugins-1.0.24-4.mga2



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 2 Alpha 1 minimal system
2. Install task-x11, task-gnome (with suggested packages)
3. Install xboard (with suggested packages)
4. run xboard and read errors

@ Colin

Sorry, I can't think of any smart questions to ask, nor could anyone who looked at this bugreport since it was filed. Can you help?

Comment 2 Colin Guthrie 2011-11-28 17:59:05 CET 
This is actually more or less fixed now, but I still need to submit the packages... I was waiting for the apprentice who did the changes to get back to me with a comment about the SVN log entries.


The problem is simply that the package:
 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
is not installed.

Not sure why it's not installed tho'. It certainly should be pulled in by a typical install... not sure why it's not, but that is another issue (and possibly one that will be fixed by the fix that should be committed).
