Description Takashi Iwai 2006-03-02 17:26:45 UTC
When logging on KDE, a gnomesu window appears first asking about "Software Update" (ps shows: /opt/gnome/bin/gnomesu rug ua linux superuser)

If I do something in another window during this appears, the "Software Updater - Question" window seems hanging up, and doesn't respond.

Reproducible with the following way:

   1. Choose "Yes" in "Software Update - Question"
   2. Choose "Cancel" in the password dialog

then the first window remains.

After about five minutes I got a popup window requesting for root password. But for 5 minutes the Software Updater question remained on screen with "Yes" button pressed (a bit darker gray), which looks rather disturbing, as if the application hanged.

I tried it on a factory install too, and there it was just a few seconds.
Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2006-03-06 14:41:46 UTC
This is possibly fixed in the latest esound package we submitted where there could be a hang in the gnomesu window if sound was broken and alsa was spewing warnings.

Sound throwing warnings was fixed by re-running yast2 sound configuration.

This would only occur if cancel was pressed in the gnomesu dialog.

Do either the new esound or reconfiguring sound solve the issue?

It's not ALSA warnings (other sounds work indeed), but anyway updating esound seems to fix the problem.  Thanks.
