Description Jiang Yike 2012-05-21 14:23:36 CEST
Description of problem:

If xguest account logs in via GDM, its audio output becomes "dummy output" and shows no audio hardware in the interface of volume control. But in Mageia Control Center, all audio hardware can be detected.

If a normal user account logs in via GDM, its audio output works properly and shows all audio hardware in the interface of volume control.

If xguest account logs in via KDM, its audio output has no problem.

Therefore, the reason is probably that GDM forbids xguest's permissions related to audio hardware.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Mageia 2 RC x86_64

How reproducible:

Log in with xguest account via GDM.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

@ Jiang

Is this bug still valid for Mageia 2 / current cauldron?

If so, can you please remove "NEEDINFO" and put "MGA2TOO" on the whiteboard?

Thx :)

The bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Currently I don't use Cauldron, so I don't know whether the bug is valid for Mageia 3's Cauldron.

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-22 12:09:57 CEST
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

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 Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2013-11-23 16:13:34 CET
Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Is this bug already fixed in Cauldron or Mageia 3?
