Since the update/upgrade I get the following error during start-up:Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, On askubuntu I found the following solution: To solve that specific issue: Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, abortingJust use a live USB/DVD, mount your root system, edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with root privileges and add the following line:blacklist pcspkrReboot into your system and done.My question is: why do I need to edit the blacklist.conf with the help of a live USB instead of just editing whilst being " in " the system?

Did you (re)move /etc/apt/preferences?You may be better advised to use an LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack for this...I'm not an expert at this sort of thing though, I use neither Spotify nor the hack Using Debian ~ Debian Reference ~ CrunchBang FAQAdvice For New Users On Not Breaking Their Debian SystemForum Moderator Offline #3 2014-08-03 15:43:49 twoion Emerald Caffeine From: 星界 Registered: 2012-05-11 Posts: 1,648 Re: [solved] Error: Driver pcspkr already registered It's totally sufficient to blacklist the module from the running system (but the changes won't become active until after the next reboot - you can try manually unloading the module using modprobe -r pcspkr but as kernel modules can be depended upon, this might not

already registered, aborting… To fix that, we need disable the module "snd-pcsp". The snd-pcsp module is a native module of Debian 5.04 Lenny that sometimes takes the hand on the real sound card https://trufelli.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/debian-driver-%E2%80%98pcspkr%E2%80%99-is-already-registered-aborting%E2%80%A6/ module. We can disable the module just adding his name "snd-pcsp" in the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist". The entry is like that: blacklist snd-pcsp Now, just reboot the Debian and this message shouldn't appear again! https://bugs.debian.org/495674 Like this:Like Loading...

I am always grateful when people such as yourself post solutions to common problems that I can google. However, in this case your post is ambiguous. Which version of Debian, for instance? Which installation installs the snd-pcsp module? What is "blacklist"? It is evidently not an executable or script in the Debian depositories… I get the error "Driver ‘pcspkr’ is already registered, aborting…" debian error driver but I have no blacklist executable (though I can edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file manually if I wanted) and no snd-pcsp module (my guess is that the error message comes from the module pcspkr). I'm running a minimal Wheezy with a 3.0 kernel. Reply trufelli 08/06/2012 Sorry for the late answer Keith, it was a Debian 5.04 Lenny. The snd-pcsp module is a native module of Debian 5.04 Lenny that sometimes takes the hand on the real sound card module. The blacklist it's a text file, where you put modules which the kernel wont load on boot. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply Enter your comment here...
