I don't know of any sound card setup in gnome-session. Can you give details on how you are testing sound and what error messages you see if any? I'm sorry -- with additional testing, it turns out to be unrelated to the root login -- it's just that the driver for my sound card sometimes doesn't initialize things correctly. OK, thanks. Sounds like a kernel issue. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Description of problem: I have a user who's using WindowMaker, and have found that gnome-session, instead of gdm, is doing some hardware (soundcard, specifically) initialization, so I need to do a root login before the user logs in locally in order for sound to work properly. gdm should be doing this, so the user can choose their window manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.4.1.3-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot up 2.Login with a nonprovided window manager 3.See things not work 4.Get frustrated Actual Results: Sound did not work Additional info:
