After spending lots of time debugging this issue, largely involving comparing the debug output from pulseaudio.exe, I believe I've determined a simple fix.
I observed that if I create this directory ahead of time, the pulseaudio.exe process launched by x2goclient.exe creates the "cookie" file under it & stays running. C:\Users\mike\.x2go\pulse\.config\pulse\ Therefore, I believe a simple fix for this bug is for x2goclient.exe, regardless of what version of pulseaudio.exe is installed, to: 1. Create that directory (if it DNE). 2. Include logic around onmainwindow.cpp:5149 to use the cookie at that path. If the cookie is not in that location, fall back to ".pulse-cookie". We already have this logic for Linux. I plan to write, test, and (hopefully) commit this fix tomorrow night. Note that we cannot override the cookie location due to PulseAudio Bug 75006: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75006 Note that although I am not sure why PulseAudio.exe is incapable of creating this file when launched by x2goclient.exe, compared to when it is launched by cmd.exe, I believe this is still safe approach to solving the bug. I say this because PulseAudio devs's comments & commit messages make it clear that they support both the directory already existing, and the directory not already existing. For example: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/src/pulsecore/authkey.c?id=a91359956f166005749247eaa5f4001a4555689d _______________________________________________ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
