The policy might be desired, but the way it is implemented is IMHO buggy. Scenario on my computer:
1. X running, tty7. Everything's ok. 2. Switch to tty1: no sound. 3. Login in tty1: sound comes back. 4. Switch back to X: everything's ok Now, this is nonsense to me. X *is* running when I switch to tty1. There is no authentication required when I switch back to it. All my user processes keep running within my authenticated session; they are not stopped, they do not require another authentication when I switch back to it. So why only Pulseaudio stops? I could understand if sound stopped after I quit/lock the session (annoying but, ok, safer). But I do not. I am sure there is some technical reason for it but IMHO the overall behavior is buggy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213149 Title: pulseaudio breaks on switching from tty7 to tty [1-6] (in and out of Gnome) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/213149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
