Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.30.0-3
Severity: normal
i've set up gdm3 to auto-log in my user account on this machine. The
user account is not a member of group audio. I'm also using systemd,
so the boot ordering might well be non-deterministic.
In the first login session immediately after boot, the gnome volume
control applet (which i think is mixer_applet2) shows up with a little
X over the speaker -- it's not muted, it's indicating that the user
isn't in control of any sound device. Clicking on the icon doesn't
bring up any slider or mute checkbox or anything.
If i right click and choose "open volume control", i do actually get a
volume control which i can manipulate, though.
If i log out and log back in, the little X is gone and i can get a
slider when i left-click (that is, it behaves as it should).
If i remove the applet from my panel and add it back in, i also get
the proper behavior.
So it looks to me like the applet is initializing itself very early in
the boot+login process -- perhaps before policykit is up and running?
-- and deciding at that point that it has no privileges to the device
in question.
This kind of race condition seems problematic for a fast-boot.
Maybe policykit needs to notify any outstanding mixer_applet2 devices
(via dbus?) when new privileges are granted, or when it comes online
in the first place? I don't really understand how these things fit
together, so maybe i'm suggesting something that already works, or
that couldn't possibly work.
I'm happy to debug further if you can give me instructions about what
data to gather.
Thanks for maintaining gnome applets in debian!
Regards,
