The slowness in that bug may simply be some kind of timeout being hit due to a dbus connection problem. After the timeout, maybe it retries and succeeds, or tries some other method.
I also have an unsubstantiated hunch that Bug #976638 (pkexec does not find any authentication agent) is also affected by this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314782 Title: multimedia keys don't work when xfce4-volumed is run in daemon mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-volumed/+bug/1314782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
