Description Mads Kiilerich 2008-10-16 11:21:41 UTC

Description of problem:
On login I get in /var/log/messages
Oct 16 11:49:05 dev-mk gnome-session[2991]: WARNING: Application 'libcanberra-login-sound.desktop' failed to register before timeout

Personally I am glad that I don't get login sound, but if it should work then it should work - and no warning should be logged.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libcanberra-0.10-2.fc10.i386

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2008-10-17 04:53:37 UTC

The warning is harmless. 
Are you saying that you don't get a login sound even when sound events are turned on ?
Because that works fine for me.

Comment 2 Mads Kiilerich 2008-10-17 12:58:16 UTC

I do get the login sound (in my headphones which I usually don't wear before my music starts playing). The warning comes soon after.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2008-10-17 14:44:20 UTC

Closing this bug then. You get the sound, and the warning is harmless.

Comment 4 Mads Kiilerich 2008-10-17 15:30:17 UTC

Really?

The warning must be there because something isn't like someone expected it to be.

If the warning is harmless then it shouldn't be a warning. If it means nothing at all then it shouldn't even be logged as information, at least not in /var/log/messages.

When I have sound problems then I see that message as an indication that something really is wrong.

IMHO a "wolf" cry is an error. It is my experience that Fedora - and RHEL - has a quality level where I wouldn't expect that to be OK.
