From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Galeon/1.3.17 Description of problem: Somtimes esd continues running after a user has logged out of X. This often has the side effect of keeping gam_server running too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): esound-0.2.35-2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: (Unsure as to the steps because I am only seeing the athermath) 1. Log into GNOME. 2. Run some programs that use esd? 3. Log out. Actual Results: Doing a ps aux | grep esd shows: 24001 8200 0.0 0.4 3980 1080 ? Ss Jan15 0:00 /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 28 Even though the only tasks still open for uid 24001 are a left over ssh-agent and gam_server Expected Results: No esd process should have been found. Additional info: I'm not sure what actually triggers this but it could well be related to the ancient bug #2286 (although I believe that sound for new users works even though an old esd continues to run). Part of "... continues to run after X has exited" series (bug #138249, bug #138747, bug #139834, bug #140262, bug #140874, bug #142266)
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
I've just had a look for stray esd tasks on a bunch of FC6 machines we have and I can't see any. Resolving FIXED.
