Description of problem: Sound does not work when login first over xrdp. The sound is working immediately after local login with kdm. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot server and do not login locally 2. Login remote with help of Remote Desktop Connection (xrdp) 3. Try to play sound with e.g. amarok Actual results: No sound. Expected results: Sound. Tested with mplayer with alsa and pulseaudio and amarok with gstreamer backend.
Looks like ACLs are not set properly. After local login with kdm the files in /dev/snd has a plus right after the regular permissions in the output of 'ls' to indicate extended ACLs.
Logging in on console does not set /dev/snd perms properly anymore either (worked with F15). Still no access after a "startx". Both console and X sessions are properly listed by "ck-list-sessions". So, sounds like something listed wrong in console-kit in general rather than xrdp in particular. Not sure how directly related this is, but a couple years ago ck lost track of the sound devices in a similar way, as described in bugs #532814 and #520103. Good debugging into in those bugs anyway although not the eventual fixes. Will poke around some more , then maybe crosslist this bug with console-kit?
Opened a ConsoleKit bug 769649 for my issue: that's a problem with ConsoleKit not doing the right thing for an X session created with startx rather than with xrdp, but could be related if ConsoleKit has abdicated permissions setting to kdm.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
