I tried three things: 1. lts.conf: SOUND=False 2. lts.conf: SOUND=False + screen.d/rdesktop: pkill pulseaudio 3. screen.d/rdesktop: pkill pulseaudio
I got no sound on all three efforts, and pulse didn't show up in ps -aux on any of those three scenarios. I ran alsamixer and got the error on the third effort. I can try again with SOUND=False is lts.conf tomorrow. I'm using ubuntu 9.04 x86_64 on ESXi server. The tc is an older HP, t5520 I think, with a 1.2GHz transmeta efficion cpu and ATI chipset. db On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 4:53 PM, Gideon Romm<[email protected]> wrote: > Is all this with SOUND=False in lts.conf? > > The error that you get with alsamixer suggests that the pulse soundcard > is set as the default soundcard- which is odd (and the source of your > problem). > > Well, if all else fails, instead of killing pulseaudio, you can work > with it and add: > > export PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1:4713 > > to the rdesktop screen script.
