Actually, I was thinking about this last week, but why do we have the gio support in the mozgnome component? gio exists on any system with a gtk version of 2.14 or newer (the version there is just plucked from a brief look through the git history of gtk) And if we modified the mozgnome component to dynamically check for gconf/gnomevfs, then is there any point to having the separate component for them anyway?

gnome_vfs_mime_application_launch_with_env calls g_spawn_async without G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN so helper apps should be fine with GnomeVFS. Non-GNOME (and newer GNOME) systems without --enable-gio will use nsIProcess which uses PR_CreateProcess, thus hitting this bug. Helper apps should be fine in --enable-gio builds because g_desktop_app_info_launch_uris also calls g_spawn_async without G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN. For plugin/content processes this is addressed by CloseSuperfluousFds. Most systems should have GIO these days, so it looks like the appropriate fix here is to update glib on our build systems so we can --enable-gio.

The fact that Evince appears to access audio is probably some side effect of libasound/esd linkage with some of the gnome libraries: Whilst a listing from ldd /usr/bin/evince shows up various audio related libraries (e.g. libasound), however readelf -d /usr/bin/evince does not, which would indicate that it's not a direct dependency. -- Evince opens ALSA library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 102408] Re: Evince opens ALSA library
I have seen evince hold on to the audio device - Though I have only seen it after evince has been launched by Firefox - unfortunately it seems that Firefox does not close file descriptors when it spawns helper apps - hence if firefox has the audio dev open (quite often the case - e.g. after using Flash etc) then evince inherits the open audio descriptor and hangs onto it - even after Firefox is closed. In fact it happens with any app started by Firefox. It would appear that this bug has been reported on Firefox bugzilla but not fixed yet??!

What in the world is a PDF viewer doing with my sound device? I'm just wondering. Maybe this is one call and one dependency that can be optimized away. Or maybe there *is* a reason for using ALSA, but I've never heard any sounds when opening PDF files, and I don't see why that application should have any business in the sound area at all. Click when I follow a hyperlink? ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Evince opens ALSA library https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
