ub-dCore-trusty

[Jason W]

Updated to remove unneeded files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ that were interfering with the creation of entries in /dev/disk that kept Unetbootin from operating.

[Jason W]

Updated with the fix mentioned in the dCore-jessie update post.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the update, all goes Ok for me, except that I have lose the alsa sound. When I go back to previous version the sound works again.
here are some notes:

I have loadsce alsa-modules-3.8.13-tinycore and alsa-utils

Hope It helps!

[Jason W]

Ok, I will look into it tonight.

[Jason W]

Sound is working ok with me on ub-dCore-trusty.  I have a hunch that "udevadm trigger" will solve your situation. 

[Onyarian]

Hi Jason,

It's happening in my notebooks too.

where should I put udevadm trigger? In a terminal window, after doing it, the  "aplay -l" says th same
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

in bootlocal.sh and then booting is the same also, no difference.

In the notebooks there is no blacklist at boot.

[Jason W]

Ok, let me re-import everything from scratch on trusty and see if I can reproduce the error.

[Jason W]

I am using hte latest ub-dCore-trusty, and imported alsa-utils and alsa-modules-3.8.13-tinycore and all works well.   Info below:

But that being said, there is obviously something creating a different result on your setup.

What are the contents of your sceboot.lst, or the output of 'ls /tmptcloop'.

And does it help to issue  the command:

sudo /usr/local/tce.installed/alsa-utils

after both the utils and modules extension of alsa are lodaed?

[Onyarian]

Hi Jason, you are right with the sudo /usr/local/tce.installed/alsa-utils

and then sound is OK

I have put "/usr/local/tce.installed/alsa-utils" in bootlocal.sh

/usr/local/tce.installed/alsa-utils

alsactl restore
/usr/sbin/basic-firewall
wifi.sh -a
sleep 3
/etc/init.d/cups restart

 but no sound at boot until I turn to execute /usr/local/tce.installed/alsa-utils

What can I do to have sound at boot?

my sceboot.lst is:

Xprogs
xorg-all
openbox
fbpanel
conky
graphics-3.8.13-tinycore
wireless-3.8.13-tinycore
wireless

alsa-utils
alsamixergui
volumeicon-alsa
wbar
numlockx
xonclock-cde-l3

Thanks for all

[Jason W]

Hmm, /usr/local/tce.installed/alsa-utils should be getting run upon the loading of the sce.  I don't know why it is not.  I will put alsa-utils in sceboot.lst and try it out on a fresh import.

[Jason W]

I have booted with nothing loaded, then loadsce alsa-modules-3.8.13-tinycore and alsa-utils.  Sound works, I can't reproduce.

[Onyarian]

I have made the same, booting with nothing, and works. Then with Xprogs, xorg, wbar, wireless, wireless-modules and flwm-topside and works too, all importsce from scratch.
So I want to rebuild from scratch, step by step, my big sce to see if I found if there is an interaction with something, and tell you the founds, if there are.

Thanks Jason for the time

[Jason W]

Minitube for me was not showing video but was making sound.  I spent an hour or so looking into dependencies and even changed my video card, but upon a fresh import using one file list, minitube worked with sound and video.  WIth trusty like with jessie, I suggest only using one sce made from a package list file as their packges are being updated frequently which can make for breakage if combining new and old sce's.

[Onyarian]

Hi Jason,

I want to inform you that finally I get where was the problem. It wasn't in the big sce and others, it was in mydata.tgz, in concrete in /etc/group file.

At the first installation I included /etc/group in .filetool.lst, because I need some specific entries.  If I delete /etc/group in .filetool.lst then in the reboot it creates a new one and works the sound.
So now I have copied my entries in this new one and turn to put /etc/group in .filetool.lst and all goes OK.
