I have investigated this somewhat further and found that if I do in gnome-terminal while logged into X on the server
$ esd *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused It appears that esound is not able to run, although "enable sofware sound mixing (ESD)" is selected in System > Preferences > Sound. If I'm not mistaken, pulseaudio is the appropriate sound device on a thin client. I'm sure in my steps to reproduce bug I should have included "2a. Change Volume Control Applet device to Pulseaudio". Although I have changed the device back to the server's hardware setting (HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer)) when logged into the server, there appears to be another esound setting somewhere that needs to be changed back manually if not automatically when logged into the server. I checked /etc/esound/esd.conf but saw no such setting. Likewise in gconf-editor. db ** Changed in: esound (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => esound -- logout stalls until esd is killed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122972 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
