Bug still present. Tested using sux with guest and root and both produce sound and video properly, although various errors occur during movie player startup (included below). Using sux with my own account produced the same lack of sound as starting totem normally.
Preparation: Log in as user with Totem sound problems, start terminal, type 'sux', enter root password. Test 1: r...@ajbogh-desktop:/home/ajbogh# sux ajbogh totem /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha Result 1: No Sound, proper video startup Test 2: r...@ajbogh-desktop:/home/ajbogh# sux guest totem ** (totem:15456): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-ajbogh is not the current user ** (totem:15456): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit,.........(this same message repeats for a while) Result 2: Totem starts with an error popup, "Unable to activate plugin Media Player Keys". This message is not related to the sound error and is ignored. Sound and video both play normally. -- Volume control and sound missing from Totem. All other video/music players work fine. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367718 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
