I am afraid I have some mixed results. The bug no longer occurs on my laptop as I am now running enlightenment 16 with esd and have removed most of gnome and it's glug - including Pulseaudio. My problem is solved.
The bug is still present on my Father's computer (73 years old and wanting to learn the terminal! My Dad that is, not the pc). I tried killing pulseaudio while logged in to an X session, and it still hung while shutting down. I tried adding localhost.localdomain and the hostname to the local ip in /etc/hosts. No effect, so I put localhost under IPV6 as a temp fix. Conclusions? Even though I hashed out the Xsession script for pulseaudio, it still loaded. Even though I killed pulseaudo, ALSA still froze during shutdown. Where I completey removed pulseaudio on the laptop, it shuts down nice and fast even after I removed the fix from /etc/hosts. So removing pulseaudio stops the bug, killing the process does not. Hope that makes sense. dov -- MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
