Bug 262969 – x11-themes/sound-themes-freedesktop and gnome-extra/gnome-audio do the same thing

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Maciej Józiewicz 2009-03-18 22:38:30 UTC]

With gnome 2.22 we had gnome-audio and with 2.24 sound-themes-freedesktop is installed. On upgrade both are left and sounds from both sets are played during login. A portage message displayed when emerging sound-themes-freedesktop would be really nice.

Something like:
"If you're upgrading gnome to 2.24 and suffer from double login sound you should uninstall the old sounds set:
'emerge -C gnome-audio'"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

what you are seeing is probably unrelated to the presence of both on the system. sound-themes-freedesktop provides sounds *and* a theme file so that the new sound preferences capplet can use them.

Do you have pulseaudio or esound installed ?

[Comment 2 Maciej Józiewicz 2009-03-18 23:21:25 UTC]

I just checked that I have the esd flag set. Probably it's in the desktop profile as I didn't set it. So I have esound installed but not pulseaudio. Could you please educate me on how is this of importance? (a link or something...)

if you go to "System -> Preferences -> Sound", does disabling login sound leaves you with zero, one or two login sound ? libcanberra might be doing things on its own and esound as well.

[Comment 4 Maciej Józiewicz 2009-03-22 15:47:00 UTC]

I just checked and disabling it leaves me with one - the old one. The new sound can be switched no/off and the old one is always played if installed.

I have the currently stable libcanberra:
szczerb@nomad ~ $ eix libcanberra
[I] media-libs/libcanberra
     Available versions:  ~0.9 ~0.10 0.11 ~0.11-r1 {alsa doc gstreamer gtk oss pulseaudio}

and esound:

[I] media-sound/esound
     Available versions:  0.2.38-r1 ~0.2.39 ~0.2.40 0.2.41 {alsa debug doc ipv6 tcpd}

Would you like me to check something more?

I have pulseaudio installed, and have no discernable way of deactivating the "old" sound.  Is there a compelling reason that pulseaudio[gnome] should depend on gnome-audio, rather than something a little more version sensitive?

[Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-08-26 21:28:22 UTC]

I suppose this is pulseaudio playing start sound on its own with the "old" gnome-audio sample while libcanberra is spawned via gnome-session (see System -> Preferences -> Application startup).

Since I have no clue how pulseaudio decides to play login/shutdown sound, I'm CCing sound to get their input.

Which version of PulseAudio do you have?
