1 Hi all, long time no post :) Good to see that Dale finally has aDSL
2 (woot).
3
4 I just upgraded to gnome 2.28, compiz 0.8.4, and various other things in
5 a recent large update. I'm using ~x86. After a few compile problems
6 the only noticeable problem I'm having is with the volume change overlay
7 (I think).
8
9 When I change the volume / mute, no nice compiz animation is shown, and
10 X crashes. A udev message flashes up on the screen before X restarts:
11
12 udevd-work[1365]: error opening ATTR{/sys/class/sound/controlC0/../uevent}
13 for writing: no such file or directory
14
15 I've been using the same 2.6.30-tuxonice-r5 kernel for a while - do I
16 need some new feature of 2.6.31?

33 which seems a bit odd. .xsession-erros has nothing unusual:

35 gnome-session[31592]: WARNING: Detected that screensaver has left the bus
36 ** (evolution:31678): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
37
38 dmesg shows:
39 compiz[31647]: segfault at 4 ip b746f2fb sp bfe11cd0 error 4 in libGLcore.so.185.18.36[b6a28000+d6f000]

41 I tried metacity --replace; and X still crashes (the usual volume
42 overlay isn't shown here either).
43
44 And get this: I tried changing the volume from the X login screen, and X
45 crashes!! hmm.
46
47 Any ideas? Thanks, as always, in advance!
