Hmmm... Try sticking the following script in a file:
#!/bin/sh if [ ! -e /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 -a -e /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 ]; then ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 2>/dev/null fi if [ ! -f /tmp/.esd/socket ]; then logger "/tmp/.esd/socket is missing. replacing..." rm -rf /tmp/.esd 2>/dev/null mkdir /tmp/.esd touch /tmp/.esd/socket else touch /tmp/.esd/socket fi And execute this script upon login (ie, run the script out of /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default). This fixes things for flash plugin, etc. But, you *should* get system sounds by default, if you are using Ubuntu. In any event, no need to run esd on the server. If you want to pop into #ltsp on irc.freenode.net, maybe we can sort things out. Lot more Ubuntu guys in #ltsp these days.... -Gadi On Tue, 2005-08-16 at 15:08 -0400, Joe Auerbach wrote: > Gideon Romm wrote: > > >If you use SOUND_DAEMON = "esd" , Ubuntu will work right-out-of-the-box. > >no need for ltsp-sound pkg on server. > > > >This is because, as of the newer Gnome/KDE, both desktops go through > >gstreamer for sound, and Ubuntu sets up gstreamer to use ESD as output > >by default. > > > >If you are not on Ubuntu, you can go to Multimedia Systems Selector > >(usually under Preferences) and switch the Audio output to ESD. > > > In that case, I have a problem. > > When I try yo access the volume control from a remote workstation I get > teh following: > "Cannot connect to sound daemon.
