Public bug reported: When using the command "alsactl store 0" to store the details of a sound card, errors are received if used with sudo, informing the user that "/home/(whoever) not ours" - the command also fails if used without sudo, giving the error "alsactl: save_state:1547: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: Permission denied"
This is only the default response since oneiric, the feature concerned worked well in Natty and prior to this, I have not seen this response from alsactl. All the users I've seen so far (myself included) have all been on 11.10 I have confirmed this error with a user at #kubuntu-devel on freenode, who has also tried this. The relevant package version is: alsactl version 1.0.24.2 ** Affects: alsa-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876001 Title: alsactl store throws "/home/(username) not ours" errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/876001/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
