Package: gnome-media Version: 2.28.1-1 Severity: normal My .xsession-errors file is full of lines like the following:
** (gnome-volume-control-applet:19774): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting... If gnome-volume-control-applet is allowed to continue to run, say, overnight, the session eventually hangs due to some kind of resource exhaustion. At that point, a system reboot is required to restore graphical console access, because the keyboard and mouse are no longer seen even if the X11 session is killed and/or restarted. Killing the gnome-volume-control-applet process is a workaround. Other items of note: (1) The speaker icon in the tray disappeared shortly after a gnome package upgrade, probably due the connection failure noted above (although I didn't notice or look for the error messages until a long-running session hung and got my attention). With a freshly-started gnome session, after killing the non-functional gnome-volume-control-applet, I added an instance to the tray and it seems to work ok, i.e., I can pull up the mixer and everything works the way it is supposed to as far as I can tell. (2) "/usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-volume-control-applet.desktop" (presumably the instance that can't connect) has "TryExec=/usr/bin/pulseaudio". The instance I added says it's using gstreamer. (3) Give the above two items, this report may be related to #541320. I have not tried reconfiguring my gnome session per the procedure noted there. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-rc7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-media depends on: ii gnome-media-common 2.28.1-1 GNOME media utilities - common fil ii gstreamer0.10-alsa [gs 0.10.25-6 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-esd [gst 0.10.16-5 GStreamer plugin for ESD ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.16-1 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" s ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.25-6 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.16-5 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaud 0.10.16-5 GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6.1 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcanberra-gtk0 0.22-1 Gtk+ helper for playing widget eve ii libcanberra0 0.22-1 a simple abstract interface for pl ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.2-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-media0 2.28.1-1 runtime libraries for the GNOME me ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.25-6 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.25-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpulse-mainloop-glib 0.9.20-1 PulseAudio client libraries (glib ii libpulse0 0.9.20-1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-1 Library for writing single instanc ii libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii x11-utils 7.4+1 X11 utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime gnome-media recommends no packages.
