same here, different ppc. the relevant error, even without the -a switch is: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
i tried to use the "debugging" option of -a and initially got an error trying to find /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/smixer/smixer- python.so so i installed libasound2-python and then got an error trying to find /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/smixer/python/main.py in the process of reporting this, i got on my not-quite-so-updated precise x86 and tried alsamixer -a and got the same error with i386 instead of powerpc. however, alsamixer alone ran fine. so i'm thinking that there's a problem with the -a switch that may exist even in previous versions and i'm also thinking that something is amiss with alsamixer on this version. don't have a quantal x86 install to compare to presently. it is also curious to note that lubuntu-core installs alsa-utils which installs libasound2 which suggests libasound2-python. if this is required for some reason, why is it only suggested? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060452 Title: alsamixer fails to load on quantal ppc Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: System G4 iBook 1.42GHz CPU, 1.5GHz RAM. Lubuntu Quantal daily build October 1. Fresh install When initially lauched alsamixer in terminal it showed as "file or directory does not exist". I reinstalled asla-utils package and ran "rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local.conf", which fixed the problem in 12.04. This time it did not; alsamixer shows in terminal, but with the message "this sound device does not have any controls", no sound in system, or loudspeaker icon in taskbar. Is this a bug or faulty config?
