https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295560 Bug ID: 295560 Summary: virtual_oss: actions in /etc/devd/snd.conf are broken. Product: Base System Version: 15.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: cmanv@duck.com This is observed in FreeBSD 15.1-RC1 This error occurs at boot when the microphone from my webcam is recognized: sysrc: unknown variable:`virtual_oss_default_control_device' virtual_oss_cmd : could not open /dev/ The source of the error is found in /etc/devd/snd.conf from the lines: action "/usr/sbin/virtual_oss_cmd \ /dev/$(sysrc virtual_oss_default_control_device) -P /dev/$cdev"; The problem here is that the variable is not found in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and therefore needs to be explicitly defined in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local in order for sysrc to find it. Moreover the syntax needs to be 'sysrc -n' because sysrc returns a key/value pair by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
