[SOLVED] can't make soundon.user run at boot time

[frabato56]

Hi All,

I added "vmixctl attach /dev/oss/oss_envy240/pcm0" to the soundon.user file and then I ran "chmod +x /usr/lib/oss/soundon.user" as root.
My file browser says that the file is executable but when I reboot it seems that the command did not run. If I run /usr/lib/oss/soundon.user as root everything seems fine. I'm not too experienced with these things so hopefully I'm missing something really simple. I'm using debian sqeeze 64 bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you are running the package in the debian repository? IIRC, they modified the scripts, so perhaps it doesn't source soundon.user on startup. I suggest uninstalling it and using the deb from this website - it's a newer build too (debian still has b2003).

If what I said above is wrong, try to run "sudo soundoff" and "sudo soundon" script to test the startup. Ideally, the soundon script should run the soundon.user file. If not, try inserting echo commands for debugging (e.g. in soundon.user) and see where it stops.

Thanks very much. The new package works perfectly!
