Bug Description
I have upgraded from Natty to Oneiric and I noticed that KMix didn't save the altered audio levels between reboots.
In the terminal I then run the following commands and the according inputs is all below:
hyper@doubi:~$ alsactl store
alsactl: save_state:1547: Cannot open /var/lib/
hyper@doubi:~$ sudo alsactl store
[sudo] password for hyper:
Home directory /home/hyper not ours.
hyper@doubi:~$ sudo -i
root@doubi:~# alsactl store
No protocol specified
xcb_connection_
This is somewhat weird.
When I run it as normal user, it complains about not being able to store the file in /var/lib/alsa
When I run it as root with sudo, it complains about not being owner of my home folder
When I switch to root shell it complains about something else altogether...
root@doubi:~# alsactl --version
alsactl version 1.0.24.2
alsa-utils package is: 1.0.24.2-0ubuntu7
