Bug#1050888: alsa-utils: alsa-retore service does not restore state of a sound card plugged in through USB hub on boot

[Alexander Betaev]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.2.9-1
Severity: normal
Tags: a11y
X-Debbugs-Cc: bet...@gmail.com

To fix this I have to run `sudo alsactl  restore` after each boot.

Additional notes:
- It does store state, so if I run `alsactl restore` it will restore volume
level set before reboot
- It works as expected with built-in sound card
- I did not test if it works or not when USB sound card is plugged directly
- It affects 1.2.8 version as well, I tested on both, 1.2.8 and 1.2.9

Bug#1016921: all those .desktop files look too similar

[Alexander Betaev]

those files mainly have different values of the MimeType field, some seem
to miss several fields like translations.

same issue with "open with" in Gnome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bug#838907: network-manager-openvpn: Network Manager adds weird routes after connecting to OpenVPN

[Alexander Betaev]

Hi,

I have investigated issue with embedded OpenVPN more deeply.
Still routes are set incorrectly but in another way.

When I am trying to use VPN over VPN Network Manager somehow decides that
gateway which comes for second VPN (VPN2) is outside first VPN (VPN1) so it
creates separate route for it to make packes handled by WiFi interface.
That is how it is going on with current testing OpenVPN plugin v.1.2.4-1.

With unstable version (1.2.6-2) it does not bring up any routes at all for
the embedded VPN connection.

I am wondering why NM does so many decisions instead of just doing what
DHCP server says.
And I do not completely understand do I need to create separate issue or
this one should be enough. Please assist.


Thanks.

Bug#839993: May be there is a hook, but it does not work

[Alexander Betaev]

Interesting. Is your user shown as active in the current seat? Check
via the `loginctl` command.
Sorry, my fault. It looks like this isGDM3 issue not related to PA. So 
just disregard my message.

Bug#839993: May be there is a hook, but it does not work

[Alexander Betaev]

Looks like I found one more related issue: when user uses audio device and
tries to logout it does not work.

I see these messages in GDM log (journalctl -u gdm):
окт 07 12:09:21 inftop gdm-launch-environment][5570]:
pam_systemd(gdm-launch-environment:session): Failed to create session: No
seat 'seat0allow-timed-login' known
окт 07 12:09:21 inftop gdm3[3099]: gdm_session_set_environment_variable:
assertion 'value != NULL' failed

Looks like missprint somewhere, but I don't know where.

Bug#838907: Now routes are working

[Alexander Betaev]

After few system updates the issues was resolved. I believe that this bug
may be closed.

The only thing which does not work for me in NM+OpenVPN is OpenVPN over
OpenVPN. Somehow the second OpenVPN connection does not work at all. I will
analyze the reason later.

Bug#839993: pulseaudio: Pulseaudio is able to share non-ALSA audio devices across differens user sessions

[Alexander Betaev]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 9.0-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I found that Pulseaudio in per user session mode does not allow all users to
use all devices I have on my machine.
Only ALSA devices may be shared across different user sessions without an
issue.

I noticed such behaviour with native TCP device which is provided by my media
center (JIC, also runs Stretch under KVM with GFX passthrough), and with
Bluetooth device which works pretty well until you try to use it under another
user.

In order to achieve working Bluetooth Headset I had to disable pulseaudio for
GDM3 user (Debian-gdm) because it grab it before my user almost each time.

I believe there should be a hook which suspends pulseaudio when user looses
focus on his/her session and a hook to restore when user grabs session focus.

The only way to use pulseaudio in multi-user installations now is to make it
system-wide which is also not recommended because of other issues
(https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/)


Thanks and regards,
Alex

Bug#782688: Just had issues with BT headset and PA, still have some

[Alexander Betaev]

Hi Juha,

I had nearly the same issues with BT headset and PA like you. The only
difference is that I'm now using Stretch. But it looks like the issue is
much wider. I found that PA locks any device for a single user except those
ones which are provided by ALSA. Yes, PA uses ALSA anyway under the hood
since ALSA is part of Linux Kernel and is the main sound API for Linux.

So I wanted to report another issue regarding PA when saw this one.

Your issue might be that another user (like Debian-gdm or anybody else)
might grab PA BT device as audio device before you logged in. Since PA is
so stupid that it is unable to share device across different instances
(when running per-user session) you are not able to use already grabbed
device from your user session.

To check that, just run

infestator@inftop ~ $ ps axu | grep pulseaudi[o]
infesta+  7764  0.7  0.0 1293132 13532 ?   S

Bug#596896: pulseaudio: pulse is not default alsa sound card after installing it

[Alexander Betaev]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.21-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi!

I have met the following problem: after installing pulseaudio the flashplayer
(flashplugin) did not want to play audio while all pulseaudio-enabled programs
played simultaneously without a problem. The other problem was that flashplayer
captured audio playback and did not allowed other programs to play sound.
The problem was in that my audio card does not support hardware mixing and the
default alsa audio device was used by pulse audio and by flashplugin.

I don't know if this problem more relates to pulseaudio or flashplugin-nonfree
package. I tried to find if there was any related bug and one was found:
