How can I get my dmix settings to rollover (remain persistent after reboot)?

i believe it's in the latest release candidate.

(otherwise search for "dmix" in the forums).

I don't think it's in the latest RC. The latest RC also has a bug in DMIX. see: http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....5;st=10   and John's reply on the next page of postings in that thread.



I don't think the RC2 has yet got settings that will persist through a reboot. If you make the correction to dmix as in the above noted post the settings could be made persistent. The first problem is that DMIX is on the read-only part of the filesystem (unless you have a HD install). I have got round this by copying both dmix and docked.lua from /usr/local/bin to /home/dsl. Then they can be edited & run from there. You'll need to do do 'chmod 777 <fname>' on both to be able to run the scripts once edited.

You need to change the call to dmix in docked.lua to `.~/dmix' & also the call to docked.lua in .xinitrc to '.~/docked.lua'. These changes make sure that it is the edited versions of the files that are run. Remember to put these edited versions of dmix, docked.lua & .xinitrc into your .filetool.lst

To make volume settings persistent through a reboot I used the following:

1.  in /opt/powerdown.sh add the line:
     sudo umix -s -f /opt/.umixrc
   this must go before the last line which carries out the backup
2.  add /opt/.umixrc to .filetool.lst
3.  in /opt/bootlocal.sh add the line
     sudo umix -l -f /opt/.umixrc

This should give you sound settings that are persistent through a reboot.

I believe John will have all this sorted in the next RC
