Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->gnome Over to maintainer Any chance we will see this as an update to 6.2 (minus the typo ...)? It finally fixes a problem I've had since upgrading to gnome 2.18: system sound events, and only those, stopped working. I had the same problem on Linux, and the fix there also was to start the esound daemon at boot.

Of course you can do as I did; just stick the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. edwin@: Time for a maintainer timeout?

Which is exactly what I did ;)
Esd is designed to be run as the current user, and not as root. I don't think starting it out of rc.d is a good idea. What other distributions do this?

I guess you'd have to give everybody read and write access to the devices in question. I'm not sure how that is safer than running esd as root. > What other distributions do this? I don't know. I just found it inconvenient that it doesn't start automatically, like a daemon should (if configured in rc.conf) Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) State Changed From-To: open->closed marcus 2007-09-16 17:43:17 UTC

When using esound without a desktop environment but just a window manager, I have to start it up manually lest there be no sound. Which is annoying. Fix: The following is a startup script for esound (esd); -------------------- esound -------------------- #!/bin/sh # # Startup script for esound # PROVIDE: esound # REQUIRE: DEAMON # KEYWORD: shutdown # Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable the esound daemon: # # esound_enable="YES" # # The configuration of esound is contained in /usr/local/etc/esd.conf # . /etc/rc.subr name="esound" rcvar=`set_rcvar` load_rc_config $name : ${esound_enable="NO"} esound_flags=" &" command="/usr/local/bin/esd" run_rc_command "$1" -------------------- esound -------------------- How-To-Repeat: Install esound, try to play sound.
