Comment 5 for bug 107906

Thanks for replying. There is a file named alsa already in the /etc directory so I can't use that name. Here is the error:

"mkdir: `/etc/alsa/dev.d/': Not a directory"

I tried in nautilus (as root) but was also denied.

I've posted another bug report specifically on alsa-base. Hopefully that will get to the right people.
