Public bug reported:
On one my Ubuntu Natty system, I have a very simple X11 GUI setup : just
plain xdm and icewm (and no PulseAudio)
After one reboot, I noticed that audio devices are inaccessible in GUI session.
I looked into PAM configs and found that /etc/pam.d/xdm includes
pam.d/common-session which contains this line :
session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11
common-session config file was modified on Jun 02nd, and I checked in
dpkg logs that on this day, libpam* packages were upgraded from
1.1.2-2ubuntu8 to 1.1.2-2ubuntu8.3 . Actually, this 'nox11' option could
be brought in on upgrade from Maverick to Natty , I am not sure when,
because the system was not rebooted at that time and continued to run
with Maverick kernel & xdm long after that.
Somewhere in Gentoo forums I read that you have to remove 'nox11' from
xdm PAM config. So I juts had to add the line after include statement :
@include common-session
session optional pam_ck_connector.so
after doing that and restarting xdm, I have audio access in my X11
sessions back again.
probably this specific has to be reflected in xdm PAM configuration included in
its package, and not require additional manual configuration by the end-user.
