Title:
hang of pulseaudio on medion pc
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
pulseaudio hangs during start of a couple of medion pcs in our lab. We
are running ltsp on all ws but the error exists on natively installed
ubuntu as well. Natty was able to play spound without a hang on this
hardware. This - most probably I guess - has something to do with
the hdmi-sound card on board(?) , because pulseaudio hangs in all
newer versions of ubuntu after Natty.
Unfortunately every sound related program like e.g. the firefox starts
waiting in a gray inactive window also, as soon as a sound appears to
be played in it. So due to this fact these wss revealed to be
unusable.
Important information about the hardware caught by alsa, alsamixer
(with recognized onboard sound cards), asound modules, lshw and lspci
could be found at http://servmin.org/7SGopYpVf1jS7DIZJ4i25743S8 .
. .
We created a workaround that circuits around the effect and avoids
the error for people who run into the same problem (also usable in
<ltsp.conf> as a ltsp-start-script for a particular ws):
--- begin
#!/bin/bash
##########################################################################################
# bootscript for ltsp-clients on medion-pcs with different follow up
# of sound-cards and pulse-audio sound manager being switched off
##########################################################################################
. /etc/profile
echo autospawn=no >>/etc/pulse/client.conf
echo defaults.pcm.card 1 >> /etc/asound.conf
echo defaults.pcm.device 0 >> /etc/asound.conf
echo defaults.ctl.card 1 >> /etc/asound.conf
alsa reload
--- end
it works on all the effected wss.
We waited for an update to solve the problem but the fact that all
newer versions cannot handle this hardware lets us file this bug
finally.
Thank You for Your attention :)
