failed to execute '/usr/sbin/alsactl'?
« on: January 29, 2016, 10:39:55 AM »
I followed these instructions to the letter:

http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/README-alsa-utils.txt

The sound started working fine.  Then, on reboot I get:

udevd[4743]: failed to execute '/usr/sbin/alsactl' '/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/var/run/alsa restore 0': No such file or directory

And now sound doesn't work.

sure enough, from a terminal I do:

alsactl restore

and get:

ash: alsactl: not found


I put that command in /opt/bootlocal.sh for the re-initialization on reboot

Is it me?   Or is this a bug?   

What is the best way to deal with it?

okay, I just noticed that I failed to use the -b flag on the alsa-utils.  Perhaps that page should be changed to add those flags for noobs like me (if someone wants their sound to come up at boot, which virtually everyone should want IMO).
