Confirmed. Just after logging.

[gshegosh (gk-karko)]

Just after logging in I can see the dialog that says it crashed. The system works properly afterwards, so I'm not sure if I should be worried or not :)

same here.

yep, happens most of the times I log in

[Tobias Wallter (tobias-wallter)]

i have no sound after upgrading today, 2008/10/08

[Ken Foskey (foskey)]

Skype started working again today first time for weeks. Sound is working fine, listening to music now.

Crash came up when I started pidgin, not sure if this is related.

[Emanuele Pane (emanuele-pane)]

Same here, this time I got the crash after the sound actually played, but it was strangely the old Ubuntu login sound, whereas in this new install I got a new sound the first 4-5 times I started/restarted the system.

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

It happens the same to me than Emanuele Pane: old login sound, when until now, I had the new one.
And crash after that

[gali98 (korylp)]

This happens a couple minutes after I log in. Sound works fine, but the login sound never happens.
This has happened consistently.
Kory

[Fabiano Nunes (falha404)]

This happens a couple minutes after I log in. Sound works fine, but the login sound never happens.

[jay bee (jaybee808)]

I heard the new Ibex login sound the first few times I logged in. Every time I log in the crash with the login sound message pops up. I now hear the old login sound each time. I disabled the "gnome Login Sound" startup in the Sessions Preferences. This stopped the crash message from popping up.

[bacchus (bacchus-escape)]

I just leave mine linux box on....I don't get the crash either ;)

My sound worked fine with 8.04. ever since i went to 8.10 i have no sound at all.

[KevinM (kevbert1)]

Same problem here with 2.6.27-7 generic x86_64. Initial sound after login heard (complete) prior to message about sound ending unexpectedly. Also had this in -6 kernel (but only once).

[Սահակ (petrosyan)]

this is still happening on x86_64.

I just noticed that the application crashed because I had the bug reporting tool telling me so, but otherwise everything seems to be working fine.

Same as Dani

[Adam Stovicek (arstovicek)]

Just got this crash reported via apport alert after trying to use the Guest session on a fully updated Ubuntu 8.10. The alert was waiting for me when I switched back to my normal session. It reported that the Gnome login sound crashed, but the sound played as normal when switching over to Guest.

[gooogli (thupal)]

this is happening everytime when login

Ahhh -.-

Zecky, if you don't like the automatically sent e-mails with updates on the bug you reported, then you can simply unsubscribe yourself by clicking on "Unsubscribe" above the list on the right side of the page.

[goto (gotolaunchpad)]

Can someone confirm, that this still happens with linux 2.6.24-7 or later? If not then it's fixed possible.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Not anymore, at least here :)
Anyone else?

[vovkasm (vovkasm)]

Confirm ;-)

[vovkasm (vovkasm)]

Oops, sorry, I mean - it isn't happens anymore.

[Bob Ball (bob-ball)]

Confirmed that it works for me with intrepid.

[goto (gotolaunchpad)]

Since there were no reports with linux 2.6.24-7 or later and it is reported that the issue does not occur there any more I set this bug to "Fix Released". If it occurs again, feel free to reopen this bug. Thanks.

Sound seems to work as expected. The above remains unresolved and appears to occur on logins.

Are you sure? Could you try it with jaunty and see if it is fixed:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing
Because I don't have anything about canberra.
Anyone else having the same problem??

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

Alchera, try create a new user on your System > Administration > Users
and Groups.
See if that still makes the problem to occur. :)

[Alchera (barrysuridge)]

I added myself to the following groups and logged out/in and no error/warning was reported.

Groups: pulse pulse-access pulse-rt

So, at this stage, I am somewhat bemused.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

So it could be a problem of automatically adding the groups to the
first user? You should open a new bug if that's the case.

I manually added myself in most of them:
forger@ubuntu:~$ groups
forger adm lp dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video plugdev netdev
scanner fuse lpadmin pulse pulse-access pulse-rt admin sambashare
vboxusers boinc libvirtd

I have another user which have created, and have set her user
privileges through System > Administration > Users and groups >
Properties > User privileges:
$ groups iva
iva dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video netdev scanner fuse lpadmin
sambashare

I also noticed that you weren't in the "audio" group. (The "Use audio
devices" privilege in Users and Groups)

[Alchera (barrysuridge)]

One would expect that the first user would be automatically added to the most appropriate groups and I am guessing the three 'pulse' groups should be included and aren't.

I came across the 'canberra' warning/error completely by accident and adding myself to the 'pulse' groups came about via another 'minor' issue I was working on.

Up until that point I simply used the default groups assigned without any major hassle; nothing actually dying but a minor problem with pulseaudio not sharing resources .i.e playing an mp3 and xchat sound effects (.wav files) not being played, which now also appears fixed.

barry@serenity:~$ groups barry
barry adm dialout cdrom plugdev fuse lpadmin pulse pulse-access pulse-rt admin sambashare

I added myself to the 'fuse' group remembering I needed that in the 32-Bit OS's.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

As I said, try this:
sudo adduser barry audio

Remove yourself from the pulse* groups, just to see if it works with
"audio" group which is the default one to use audio devices.

Log out and log back in, see if there are any errors again :)

[Alchera (barrysuridge)]

Groups: barry adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare

Logged out/in and no error/warning regarding 'canberra'.

It would appear then that the default user groups should include audio.

This appears not to be a problem on x86_32 systems which begs the question, "why?".

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

> It would appear then that the default user groups should include audio.
You should really create a new bug about the default user groups for
the first user. :)

> This appears not to be a problem on x86_32 systems which begs the
> question, "why?".
If I were you, I would create a virtual machine with virtualbox,
install the latest Ubuntu (Ubuntu jaunty), and check out the default
groups of the first user. Maybe it's changed in the latest release:

[Kenny (kennywardle)]

Will try, it was an automatically generated report, regards

[(Jan) Gabriël Vermeulen (sigstart)]

I got this bug with the 8.10 Live CD on my desktop rig (Intel E6850 on an ASUS P5N-D, using the on-board sound). Don't get this on any of my other Intrepid installations (one x86 on a Fujitsu notebook, one amd64 on a Acer notebook).

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

> I got this bug with the 8.10 Live CD
The extremist,
The intrepid Live CD does not count in the bug reports, there are a
lot of upgrades that I think made this bug disappear (or get fixed).

Try the ubuntu *future* *still unstable* 9.04 jaunty jackalope live
cd, providing the link once more: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing

[Alchera (barrysuridge)]

Just did a reboot (power failure).

No errors/warnings in /var/log/messages regarding "canberra".

Groups: adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare

Issue solved!
