Bug#942082: mate-settings-daemon: Repeadly opens and closes alsa mixer in background forever
Package: mate-settings-daemon Version: 1.26.0-1+deb12u1 Followup-For: Bug #942082 This is also a problem on systems without any sound hardware at all (eg. the container I'm composing this bug report on :P), as it spams stdout (and therefore ~/.xsession-errors) with this 60 times per minute: ALSA lib confmisc.c:855:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:5180:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_inum returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:422:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:5180:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1334:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:5180:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:5703:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib control.c:1528:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default This is also confusing because MATE control centre doesn't even have any audio related settings! I can normally go years in between pruning my ~/.xsession-errors, but on this occasion the 3.4GB file on a 10GB filesystem will need much more frequent cleanup... -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'oldoldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldoldstable-debug'), (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (490, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-23-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mate-settings-daemon depends on: ii libatspi2.0-02.46.0-5 ii libc62.36-9+deb12u7 ii libcairo21.16.0-7 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-10 ii libdbus-1-3 1.14.10-1~deb12u1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.112-3 ii libdconf10.40.0-4 ii libfontconfig1 2.14.1-4 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.10+dfsg-1+deb12u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.74.6-2+deb12u3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.38-2~deb12u1 ii libmate-desktop-2-17 1.26.0-2 ii libmatekbd4 1.26.0-1+deb12u1 ii libmatemixer01.26.0-2+deb12u1 ii libnotify4 0.8.1-1 ii libnspr4 2:4.35-1 ii libnss3 2:3.87.1-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0122-3 ii libpulse016.1+dfsg1-2+b1 ii librda0 0.0.5-1.1 ii libx11-6 2:1.8.4-2+deb12u2 ii libxi6 2:1.8-1+b1 ii libxklavier165.4-4 ii mate-desktop-common 1.26.0-2 ii mate-polkit 1.26.1-3 ii mate-settings-daemon-common 1.26.0-1+deb12u1 ii x11-xserver-utils7.7+9+b1 mate-settings-daemon recommends no packages. mate-settings-daemon suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
