I love code snips. Thanks Karl... I was just thinking earlier that Puppy`s sound quit working. Hummmm...... Lots of white out files, not all are sound. Do I really want to delete them all? ### Perhaps just the ones in /dev and /dev/snd ?

Don't know fore sure if these .wh. are of use for anything . The kernel driver " aufs " is configurable to show them or not . I also configured mine to show them, would be a TODO if i configure a kernel not to show them , how that behaves .. running mainly full , so no need for aufs for me .. If there is a .wh. file for a file, writing to the normal file might not work anymore . The file gets corrupted . I experienced that with the important configuration file /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE . I wanted to have a backup of PUPSTATE and made a line mv PUPSTATE PUPSTATE.prev in rc.shutdown, which created that .wh.PUPSTATE file . Next boot appeared to work normal, but /init of initrd.gz writes to PUPSTATE every time and that seemed to corrupt the file . cat and source on it would not work : I/O Error . fsck could not handle it . Had to umount the PUPSAVE-FILE.2fs and delete the .wh. file and comment my line in rc.shutdown . Probably this is caused because i put my line in after umounting -r pupsave-file layer, but i am not sure about this . If you don't need the driver displaylink_drv.so and flash works for you or you even like to have flasplayer.so blocked and don't need to read or write to /etc/windowmanager.openbox ............. |

Thanks Karl; I think I`ll try renaming the white files in /dev and /dev/snd. They look to be sound files with names like: mixer, sequencer, audio, etc. My girl friend asked if you were the famous Karel Gott. But I said you spell your name differently. She`s a big fan of his. |

Hey Karl; Renamed the whiteout files and no sound. So I ran Alsa config. again and now it works! I`m left wondering what the heck deleted the sound devices in the first place. Many thanks my friend ! Terry B. # I`ll keep you up on what I`ve got going with stand-alone apps. |

udevd , the kernel and probably the modules deleted the sound device nodes while alsaconf rmmod 'ed the modules . The modules when loaded create the device nodes new, supported by udevd and rules in /etc/udev or /lib/udev to create the wanted permissions and ownerships like root:audio . |

Interesting... Almost seems like a bug. But I`m sure it`s standard procedure. I`ve had the sound die on other Puppies, but maybe for different reasons. I think this is very common for the 5xx series, I`ve seen lots of posts on it. Perhaps make a fix script to automate what I did? And a menu button for it. # I made a few stand-alone pkgs. by different methods. Working on tools now. # I`m really excited about the Audacious music player pkg. I made it entirely from Ubuntu Lucid binary files, and I modified the exec. files. Seems to work well, as my methods get more refined I`ll post some SqApp files. |
