[Bug 398300] Re: The new gdm doesn't give an option to use .xsession

2009-10-29 Thread Jonathan Thiessen
Traumflug: No. The .desktop file is what may vary from system to system.
This means that the name of the option in your display manager may be
different, however, the basic behaviour should be invariant. That is,
.xsession and .xinitrc should work the same as they always have, it's
just that the display manager will now be xsession script agnostic (no
special case handling).

I must say that I agree with the GDM people on this one. The .desktop
approach is (at least somewhat?) standard. This could make multiple
display managers on the same system reflect the same system policy (eg
not allowing user xsession scripts if the appropriate file does not
exist)(supposing nobody else offers it as a built-in option), and give a
more consistent view (the options would have the same names and
descriptions across different display managers).

[Bug 414490] Re: [ubuntu karmic] mythtv regression - no audio in frontend

2009-08-17 Thread Jonathan Thiessen
I am having the same troubles. This seems to (only?) affect ALSA output.
MythTV with JACK output works fine.

OSS output also works. This is definitely an ALSA only output issue.

2009-08-17 Thread Jonathan Thiessen
I managed to get output working using the ALSA output mode of MythTV. It
turns out that more specifically, audio output to ALSA:default via
MythTV is defunct. I set the output string to my actual card/output
(ALSA:front:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0), and it's working fine.

[Bug 399516] Re: Missing Run Xclient Script option from gdm sessions menu

2009-07-14 Thread Jonathan Thiessen
I do not know if this is the preferred method of remedy, however, I
propose the following fix:

= Create a '.desktop' file in '/usr/share/xsessions' [owned by
root:root with permissions 644] whose 'Exec' entry is
'/etc/X11/Xsession'. See attached example. This creates a gdm sessions
menu entry that runs Xsession without any arguments. The default
behavior of Xsession is to check for the user's ~/.xsession, and get sh
to interpret it, thus accomplishing what we want. Of course, this should
work with more than just gdm [in the case that other display managers
similarly lack an equivalent option by default].
