Hi all, After reading the previous discussion on not needing to be in various groups like audio, optical etc, I decided to remove myself from a bunch of groups and "do the right thing" after upgrading to GNOME 3.6 earlier. I removed consolekit once pacman told me it was no longer required by any package, then culled myself from various groups - the important one being audio. When I login via GDM, it seems my "session" isn't active: % loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID | grep Active Active=no Therefore, I'm not added to ACLs for my sound devices and Pulseaudio fires up using a "Dummy" output. Not sure what to do here, I've done the following to try and fix it: - Disabled / re-enabled certain services, I've had systemd running for a while and a few things had changed / been updated (e.g. I now have a default.target and the display-manager.service whose symlink lives in /etc/systemd/system) - Tried messing around with pam (putting pam_systemd.so in a couple of spots). - Tried searching for documentation on what might be wrong, but most of the things I found relate to not using a display manager like GDM and just using startx. Any tips appreciated. Cheers. -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz)
