[X2Go-User] pyhoca-cli sound issues

[Tim Kruse]

Hi all,

I have weird sound issues with pyhoca-cli and need a hint, where to look :)

Scenario: debian wheezy (uptodate) client with KDE running conncts to a 
debian wheezy (also uptodate) server with KDE.

Following versions:

root at client: ~ # dpkg -l | egrep 'x2go|pyhoca'
ii  pyhoca-cli 
0.4.0.1-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~171~build1  all          Command line X2Go 
client written in Python
ii  pyhoca-gui 
0.4.0.8-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~1082~build1 all          Graphical X2Go 
client written in (wx)Python
ii  python-x2go 
0.4.0.8-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~1095~build1 all          Python module 
providing X2Go client API
ii  x2goclient 
4.0.1.1-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~427~build1  amd64        X2Go Client 
application (Qt4)

root at server: ~ # dpkg -l | egrep 'x2go|pyhoca'
ii  x2go-keyring 
2012.07.23+wheezy~main~17~build1       all          GnuPG keys of all 
X2Go developers and the X2Go archive
ii  x2goagent 
2:3.5.0.21-0+wheezy~main~423~build1    all          X2Go agent
ii  x2goserver 
4.0.1.6-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~712~build1 i386         X2Go server daemon 
scripts
ii  x2goserver-compat 
4.0.1.6-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~712~build1 all          X2Go server daemon 
scripts (backwards compatitbity to old client versions)
ii  x2goserver-extensions 
4.0.1.6-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~712~build1 all          X2Go server daemon 
scripts (extensions)
ii  x2goserver-xsession 
4.0.1.6-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~712~build1 all          X2Go server daemon 
scripts (Xsession runner)

If I try to connect from client (within a fresh KDE session) to server 
with the following command, I don't have any sound in this x2gosession:

pyhoca-cli --server $SERVER --new --command startkde --username $USR 
--sound pulse --geometry 1440x900 --link adsl --pack 16m-png-9 
--kbd-layout de --kbd-type '105/de'

Now I connect to the server (or another x2goserver, that doesn't matter) 
with x2goclient and there is sound. When I then connect again with above 
pyhoca-cli command, I have sound in this session.

When I restart the local KDE Desktop on the client, I don't have any 
sound with pyhoca, until I connect with x2goclient ...

I think, there is some process/program, that pyhoca-cli is not able to 
start, until x2goclient will start it, but I can't find it ...

Help appreciatet :)

So long,
Tim
