Re: Debian testing, alsa and cups

Hello.

Been thru the (RT)FM and maybe missed it but didn't find it.
Upgraded stable to testing, and it worked with much difficulty and repeated 
'aptitude dist-upgrade' and ended up with two mildly annoying situations
with ALSA and CUPS.
You can save trouble upgrading from Sarge to Etch by following the five steps at http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Aptitude_-_using_together_with_Synaptic_and_Apt-get#Upgrading_from_Sarge_to_Etch 
(adapted from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401317).



ALSA won't provide sound after a reboot or re-logon unless I run the
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart script. Works good after that. Using KDE3.5 
and kernel 2.6.18.  Works OK with GNOME logon so it seems it's a
KDE thing.  Could just run the command somewhere but I'd like to find
the problem, eventually.
Following Etch, I occasionally find that Alsa appears not to work. I think the problem lies with occasional changes to the autodetect software which configures my motherboard's integrated sound and ignores the PCI card. Easily fixed by running alsaconf.
