Description John Schmitt 2011-10-28 18:50:01 UTC
When I use KDM to launch openbox, pulseaudio works as expected.  When I use slim to launch openbox, pulseaudio cannot find sound devices.

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Change /etc/sysconfig/desktop to:
DESKTOP="OPENBOX"
DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/bin/slim-dynwm

2.
To work around an unrelated bug, change ~/.Xclients-default to:
#!/bin/bash

exec /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/openbox-session
exit 1

3. Reboot and login.

4. Launch the PulseAudio Manager (paman)
  
Actual results:
PulseAudio manager finds only null devices.

Expected results:
PulseAudio manager should find my sound devices.

Comment 1 John Schmitt 2011-10-28 18:51:29 UTC
I found a temporary workaround:

$ sudo cp /etc/pam.d/slim /etc/pam.d/slim.bak
$ sudo cp /etc/pam.d/kdm /etc/pam.d/slim

This fixes my issues with pulseaudio.

Comment 2 John Schmitt 2011-11-01 17:58:28 UTC
My workaround only worked once.  I cannot seem to get pulseaudio to find my sound devices when I use slim instead of KDM.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-01-14 14:47:17 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Pavel Alexeev 2012-01-28 11:31:16 UTC
Is it still reproducible on Fedora 16&

Comment 5 John Schmitt 2012-01-28 17:50:30 UTC
With Fedora 16, Pulseaudio seems to work as well when I use Slim as it does when I use KDM.

Comment 6 Pavel Alexeev 2012-01-28 19:42:58 UTC
Thanks, then we can close it.
