2008-07-16 14:19:15 Chris Coulson description Binary package hint: gdm In Intrepid alpha1, using a standard setup in VMware server 1.0.6 (which I will attach), Intrepid fails to login after I enter in the correct username and password. Specificially gdmgreeter, as far as I can tell, gets stuck in an endless loop. Proof: I went to tty1, ran 'top' went back to tty7, logged in, quickly switched to tty1 where top and the whole computer froze. My host (Ubuntu 8.04) had a process (vmware-vmx) running at 50% with a dual-core processor for an infinite amount of time. At this time, Intrepid was unresponsive. I'm attaching the VMware .vmx file while my next file will be the 'top' screenshot showing where the guest froze.

2008-08-12 15:07:20 Martin Pitt linux: statusexplanation As far as I can see, this is neither a real problem of the kernel (except that snd_pcsp is so exceptionally low-quality, much worse than we are used to from the good old DOS .mod players :) ), nor in pulseaudio, which just gets presented an ALSA card, but that the snd_pcsp device is not really meant for serious audio playback. Since there hasn't been any more promising solution so far, I am going with the blacklist solution for now. This can easily be reverted if someone has a better idea.
