You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand): Binary package hint: gdm
Log in to Ubuntu. Before you enter the password, the sound is too loud. It is too loud even with internal speakers; with external speakers or headphones it's just disastrous. After you enter the password, the sound returns to normal level. This bug happens each time the computer is reboot. What's more interesting, this bug is not there in Hardy (Hardy with all updates, I have it too): Hardy plays sound on the same level that was there on the last reboot. Of course, there's a risk that one user will use another user's sound level settings, at least for a while, but it should be preferred to what we have now. Finally, keeping the sound level settings secret sounds a bit paranoid. What I expected to happen: I expected sound to be played using the level that I set last time What actually happened: sound played at maximal magnitude. And, guys, this bug is a security vulnerability because with this bug all my neighbors know when my computer reboots. $lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Release: 10.04 $ apt-cache policy gdm gdm: Installed: 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.1 Candidate: 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.1 Version table: *** 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.30.0-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages $ apt-cache policy alsa alsa: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-31.61-generic 2.6.32.32+drm33.14 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-31-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Apr 25 20:40:21 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gdm ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug lucid -- sound too loud at login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
