[Bug 125308] [gutsy] esd makes diverse gnome apps freeze

Binary package hint: esound

I have installed gutsy in three different computers. Two of them work fine, but 
in the third one most of the gnome applications freeze after a random time. 
Typical apps with problems are: 
  - evince
  - gnome-panel 
  - gvim
  - thunderbird
  - gthumb
  - ...

For example, evince runs fine once but it freezes in the next execution. 
Running it with strace yields something like: 
==
connect(24, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.esd/socket"}, 18) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {0x2ae86551b980, [PIPE], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 
0x2ae862e342c0}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
open("/home/user/.esd_auth", O_RDONLY)   = 25
read(25, "\261V\337\215\303\376\227\274\311\355\376\376\316\16x\275"..., 16) = 
16
write(24, "\261V\337\215\303\376\227\274\311\355\376\376\316\16x\275"..., 16) = 
16
write(24, "NDNE", 4)= 4
read(24,  
==

Killing esd solves the problem, so far.

The problem is present with the two kernels I have tested (Linux
2.6.22-6-generic  and 2.6.20-13-generic). My computer is an "Intel(R)
Core(TM)2 CPU 6600  @ 2.40GHz",  with an "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7
Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)". I am working with
the *64 bits* Ubuntu 7.10 version.

[Bug 125308] Re: [gutsy] esd makes diverse gnome apps freeze

[Felipe Gil Castiñeira]

I have built the amd64 packages with the patch applied, and it seems the
problem appears again (gnome-panel gets frozen).

In the next hours I will perform some tests (just now I'm far from the
computer with the problem), in order to confirm that the problem is
again esd.
