In order to be sure my old config files were not affecting this, I created a test user logged out and logged in as that user.
Everything I tried as that user played through the server instead of the thin client. I rebooted the thin client, logged in as that user and everything played through the thin client. I then logged out and logged in as my usual user and everything I played went through the server -- unlike what I had experienced earlier. It would appear that the first user to login on a thin client somehow "locks" the esd sound server. From then on, only that user can play sound via the sound card. Presumably, gstreamer falls back to playing on the local server sound device when playing over esd fails. Does anyone else see this? For the minute, in order to let multiple users have sound on a thin client, they must reboot the client at each login. -- Sound coming out of server instead of terminal in ltsp edubuntu https://launchpad.net/bugs/73346 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
