Description of problem: No sound in X when X is started using startx. Sound works properly when started from LXDM. Sound works properly at the console before starting the X session Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.1-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot into runlevel 3 2. startx Actual results: No sound Expected results: Login theme I set should play as it does in F15. (Appropriate files are in ~/.config/autostart to do this) Additional info: I've seen this behavior before (bug 493961). The problem appears to be the same - a ConsoleKit session is not set when running startx. Deleting the check for $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE (one of the proposed fixes for bug 332781) enabled sound as expected when running X from startx.
What's the output of ck-list-sessions command, please? Thank you
I reset /etc/X11/xinit/xinit-common to restore the check for $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE and rebooted before providing the requested output. To my surprise, I have sound. Not sure what changed (but I have been updating the system daily). ~$ ck-list-sessions Session1: unix-user = '500' realname = 'Steve' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = '' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '/dev/tty1' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-08-23T22:06:56.457989Z' login-session-id = '1' idle-since-hint = '2011-08-23T22:09:30.726451Z' Session2: unix-user = '500' realname = 'Steve' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-08-23T22:09:05.254801Z' login-session-id = '1'
Not sure what happened either. Closing for now, but feel free to reopen with additional information if it happens again. Thank you for helping to make Fedora better!
