Public bug reported: This bug affects Linux Mint 15 and Ubuntu 13.04.
Upon loading, the client can play audio through vlc, totem, etc. If two audio programs try to play audio at the same time, it crashes the sound for the client until the thin client is rebooted ( the issue is not fixed upon a logout/login). After much talking on #ltsp and #pulseaudio, seeing that debian suffered a similar issue, here is the fix. https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp- trunk/revision/2483/client/initscripts/ltsp-init-common This needs to be applied to the ubuntu branch as well. Here is the updated start_sound function with the added line highlighted with asterisks (*) start_sound() { if boolean_is_true "$SOUND" ; then case "$SOUND_DAEMON" in pulse|'') # The default when no value is set # Explicitly allow pulse user access to sound devices, ignore errors if [ -x /usr/bin/setfacl ]; then /usr/bin/setfacl -m u:pulse:rw /dev/snd/* > /dev/null 2>&1 fi # Requires 0.9.16+ which uses module-udev-detect instead of # module-detect and module-stream-restore instead of # module-volume-restore PULSE_DETECT=module-udev-detect PULSE_VOLUME_RESTORE=module-stream-restore /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system \ --exit-idle-time=-1 \ --disable-shm \ --no-cpu-limit \ --resample-method=trivial \ --high-priority \ --log-target=syslog \ -L $PULSE_DETECT \ -L "module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1" \ -L $PULSE_VOLUME_RESTORE \ -L module-rescue-streams \ -L "module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1" \ ***** -L module-suspend-on-idle \ ***** -n & ;; [Ff][Aa][Ll][Ss][Ee]|[Nn]|[Nn][Oo]) # Do not do anything if SOUND_DAEMON is False, N, or No true ;; *) warn "Unable to start unsupported sound daemon: '$SOUND_DAEMON'" ;; esac fi } ** Affects: ltsp Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: pulseaudio ** Also affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212714 Title: audacity causes audio to fail on client until reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/1212714/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
