package: x2goclient severity: important version:4.0.1.2 With X2Goclient 4.0.1.2, sound stopped working on Linux clients. Windows clients were unaffected. Manually copying over the .pulse-cookie file while the session was running fixed the issue. Thanks to sunweaver (Mike#1) and dowdle on IRC, enough info was gathered that I could put two and two together as to what went wrong. Initial theory was that a patch was added for pulseaudio 4 (which keeps the .pulse-cookie file in a different location), but said patch wouldn't check for the version of pulseaudio actually installed on the client. Debian Wheezy shipping with a 2.x release of pulseaudio, the location to copy the file from wouldn't exist, which would explain the behavior we'd seen. Close, but no cookie. (Pun intended.) stracing x2goclient shows this: username@mycutelittletestmachine:~/.config/pulse$ grep -i cookie stracelog read(7, "\0\0\0\4\300\250\0\264\0\0010\0\22MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1\0"..., 4096) = 317 writev(6, [{"l\0\v\0\0\0\22\0\20\0\0\0", 12}, {"", 0}, {"MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1", 18}, {"\0\0", 2}, {"=[\272)\364\376\331l\327\242\365\307\302\2\17J", 16}, {"", 0}], 6) = 48 stat64("/home/username.config/pulse/cookie", 0xbfacb180) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/username.pulse-cookie", 0xbfacb180) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So while it DOES attempt to check both possible locations, it actually checks in /home/username.config/pulse/cookie and /home/username.pulse-cookie while it should check in /home/username/.config/pulse/cookie and /home/username/.pulse-cookie - the slash between username and directory is missing. Please fix ASAP. -Stefan PS: If anyone actually remembers the game title the second part of the subject is referencing: Complimentary cookie for you!
