To clarify: it works for me (TM), I don't need a solution.  I am just
curious because I don't heed the warning and it still works.

My volumes are not the defaults, and they do get restored.

They're listed in the output of lsmod, and sound playback works as
expected.  If there was an error neither would be the case, or am I
wrong about this?

How about checking the various volumes rather than muting maybe some
of them are 0 or rather some negative number or something?  Also, you
might delete the asound.state and let the system start over.  Last
resort, there is an alsa users mailing list.

One other thought, get pulse audio out of the way and see if alsa is
working.

I don't get this last part.

My ALSA is built as modules, including the core (I'm guessing that means
snd.ko, right?).  I don't do anything particular to load them, they're
not listed in /etc/conf.d/modules.  Yet the mixer save and restore via
alsasound works.

Could it be that alsasound itself loads the modules on demand, and the
warning above is misleading?

[gentoo-user] Something started muting the sound

2017-08-12 Thread Robin Atwood
I have a Thinkpad T410 where, after I installed Gentoo on it, everything "just 
worked (TM)". The sound is via the bog-standard Intel chips on the mobo and 
uses the hda_intel drivers. I didn't use the TP for a long time, just 
periodically updating Gentoo, but when I eventually did try to use it the 
sound was muted. This means I shut down the X server to remove complications 
from the desktop and from the console aplay doesn't produce any sound. 
Everything looks normal, driver modules loaded, alsamixer shows the usual 
output, channels all active. I booted to a windows partition and the sound 
works, so the hardware is OK. The very weird thing is if I put the TP to sleep 
with acpitool and wake it up again, the sound works for about 60 seconds and 
then dies. There is nothing in the message log at all when this happens. I 
upgraded the kernel but that didn't help.

This problem has been dragging on for some years and I am contemplating a 
complete re-install from scratch. But before I do that does anyone have any 
idea what I could try?

This is because these are run directly by init and not by openrc,
unlike all the other daemons on the system.  As others pointed out you
can just kill these directly.

Under systemd agetty is run as a service just like everything else and
you can restart it the same way that you'd restart apache.  There
isn't really any equivalent to inittab in systemd other than one or
two similar global settings.

Arguably it might be nicer to treat them more like a normal service
under openrc, now that it can restart crashed services.  I'm not sure
how reliable this feature is (I haven't run openrc in a while now),
and you would need it to be reliable for agetty since most people like
having a console.  Traditionally agetty has been run by init for a
long time though, so there might be some reluctance to make this
change.  Offhand I'm not sure if there are any other issues with
making it a service in openrc.

Fun fact: sysvinit is essentially a poor man's service manager.  You
could stick anything in inittab and init will start it, and restart it
if it dies.  There is just no control over things like dependencies
and sequencing, and you have to watch out because if you have init run
some bash script, which launches a process that forks, and your script
terminates, then init will re-launch it possibly giving you a fork
bomb at boot.  Things like this are why more full-featured service
managers were created.  Even these tend to fall in generations, with
openrc being a lot more modern than what most distros were using
before upstart/runit/systemd came along.

[gentoo-user] Restart agetty after update @world?

2017-08-12 Thread Matthias Hanft
Hi,

for weekly updates, I'm using the usual update commands, such as

emerge -NDuv @world
emerge -c
revdep-rebuild -i

In order to find out which services are still using old versions
of updated programs/libraries, I add

lsof | grep -w DEL | grep portage

and /etc/init.d/XXX restart for those services.

But now, there's agetty left, and I don't know how to restart this
service (without reboot):

[...]
agetty 3438root  DEL   REG8,4   
30199325219 
/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnss_files-2.23.so
agetty 3438root  DEL   REG8,4   
30199325229 
/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnss_nis-2.23.so
agetty 3438root  DEL   REG8,4   
30199325233 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnsl-2.23.so
agetty 3438root  DEL   REG8,4   
30199325236 
/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnss_compat-2.23.so
agetty 3438root  DEL   REG8,4   
30199325238 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libc-2.23.so
agetty 3438root  DEL   REG8,4   
30199325230 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/ld-2.23.so
[...]

There is a /etc/init.d/agetty service, but it's stopped anyway.
I already found some discussions in the net which stated that
"init q" should do the job, but this doesn't work here (just
nothing happens).

Is there a way to restart agetty and finally drop those old
libraries?

Thanks,

-Matt
