Description Paul W. Elsinghorst 2005-11-28 17:48:30 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When the ESPEAKER variable is set system wide gnome will take ~5 minutes to
logout. gnome-panel freezes and one has to wait if one doesn't want to hit
Ctrl+Alt+Bsp.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set ESPAKER=some IP
2. Try to shut down


Actual results:
The panel freezes.

Expected results:
Normal logout procedure.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Could you try 2.16 to see if it still happens there?
Also, it would be helpful to trace gnome-session to see exactly
what is hanging.  I suspect this is an esd problem, and not
strictly speaking a session manager problem... but we'd need
some evidence to conclude this.
Comment 2 Lucas Rocha 2008-04-08 22:05:29 UTC 
Paul, do you still have this problem?
Comment 3 Paul W. Elsinghorst 2008-04-09 05:34:20 UTC 
I don't use the remote ESD any longer so I don't know. Maybe You just try to set gnome-wide ESPEAKER to a non-reachable IP. Shutting down used to hang all the time.
Comment 4 Lucas Rocha 2008-04-09 14:24:26 UTC 
It's gnome-settings-daemon who deal with esound these days. Re-assigning for investigation.
Comment 5 Jens Granseuer 2008-04-10 16:35:07 UTC 
Still happens in 2.22. esd is apparently blocking when it can't reach the ESPEAKER address (also when launching a program that uses esd directly, e.g. balsa). Maybe we could start the sound server asynchronously (or just kill it after some reasonable time).
Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2008-10-31 05:58:45 UTC 
Still relevant?
Comment 7 Jens Granseuer 2008-10-31 17:46:24 UTC 
No, we don't start esd any longer.
