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.
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.
My workaround only worked once. I cannot seem to get pulseaudio to find my sound devices when I use slim instead of KDM.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Is it still reproducible on Fedora 16&
With Fedora 16, Pulseaudio seems to work as well when I use Slim as it does when I use KDM.
Thanks, then we can close it.
