Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.24.2-1
File: /lib/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules

Gentlemen, you have blown it rather royally.

There are plenty of scripts in /lib/udev/rules.d that use RUN
$ cd /lib/udev/rules.d
$ grep RUN+= *|wc -l
123

And plenty that use /sbin

$ grep /sbin *|wc -l
26

But only one that uses /usr/sbin

$ grep /usr/sbin *|wc -l
1

And the winner is

$ grep /usr/sbin *
90-alsa-restore.rules:        RUN+="/usr/sbin/alsactl restore $attr{number}"

Which of course will fail upon boot, with plenty of errors on the console,

because /usr/sbin/ is not mounted at that time!

P.S., there already is /etc/init.d/alsa-utils so the boot case is
covered anyway.

Anyway, whatever you do, be sure you stop causing all those error
messages at boot. Thank you.

jidanni, I look out of my window, and I don't see the world falling in
pieces. I just see a pair of annoying messages at boot. Don't worry, it'll
be fixed.

It seems clear that we need to move that binary to /sbin if we want to use
it like that in udev. Luckily, this was going to happen as we try to make
our delta with ubuntu smaller (they had done this change some time ago,
not sure if the reason was to avoid this or for other reasons derived from
upstart introduction).

You know THIS IS THE ONLY Package that is producing these horrible
warning messages at boot for over a month now. You might not see them
but we do.

And libasound as well.
But there is no need to, you can use a wrapper like
/lib/udev/alsa-utils.

What is the recommended workaround: what file should we users alter to
turn off the boot warnings while we are waiting for this to get fixed?
Will altering that file cause interactive questions from dpkg next
upgrade? Thanks!

I am just the most basic Debian user, although I can use su(1).
Those instructions are for people who build packages.

Hmm, do you find the warning in a log file? What ist exactly the
wording of the warning? I can't reproduce it?

Please post the output of

Why? This is not needed.

> mounted now, but not when you called them.

Is it really a case of mismounting? /etc/init.d/alsa-utils is waiting
for $local_fs which, according to /etc/insserv.conf, provides
mountall. On the other hand mountall is provided by
rcS.d/S13mountall.sh. alsa-utils started as rcS.d/S26alsa-utils. As
you can recognize S26 is a bit later as S13. So all should be run
satisfyingly now.

Well the problem was that alsa-utils/alsactl installs
/lib/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules which is not driven by the
debian/rules but a default install from alsa's source package. See
alsa-utils/alsactl/Makkefile.in. So we removed that file from
package and delete an probably existing one by postrm.

Sorry Jidanni for my incompetence. It will never happens in future
again.

But could you please explain how /usr/bin/test, as suggested by
test(1) from you, can prevent one from such a mistake? Any help would
extend my experience ;-)

One thing Jirdanni; could you please a bit more friendly in the
future. This will push the motivation of maintainers much more
emphaticly ;-)

No! I have had a permanent overdose of Don Rickles movies and am
perfecting my nastiness just one notch below getting banned.

*By the way, even pleading to Linus will not get boot warnings logged
anywhere. No disks mounted yet... You'll just have to attach a DEC printing terminal.

/etc/default/bootlogd does not help in your system?

Wow, I wonder how we missed that. Elimar, why do we do this?

        # Remove udev configfile
        rm -f /lib/udev/rules.d/80-alsa.rules
        rm -f /lib/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules

These are not conffiles; they are not in /etc, and should go away as any
other normal file in a package just with a simple package upgrade.

Typical. You have no idea of what I am talking about.
$ cat /etc/default/bootlogd
# Run bootlogd at startup ?
#BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No
#jidanni:
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes

I'm taking about the earliest messages one sees on ones screen, before
any of that gets turned on.

Linux can spew them to the screen, but not also copy them to memory and
then later save to a file.

So one needs a pencil and paper.

E.g., for the messages mentioned in this bug.

Description suited. Ready for upload. We should do it like the M$

really closed now.

Hmm, stop the stdout, make a photo and send this (well, sized reduced
please) to us. You are absolutely right. This boot sequence cant't be
written to a logfile of the booting system.

I've noticed now, that you are a real BOFH ;-)
