I don't know about others, but the only reason I use VCs these days is when X won't work or something is hogging the system resources and I have to use a minimalistic shell to fix it. I don't think supporting sound via PulseAudio is a big issue for occasional VC users. But again, if PulseAudio starts itself automatically either via its library or some other trigger (such as a socket open request), it wouldn't even be an issue. > This gives us one supported login path for local machines, and avoids > all the brokenness that occurs with multiple concurrent logins to a > shared home directory. As much as I laud the attempt to incorporate smooth usage of shared home directories, I wouldn't do it at the expense of other "features" that other uses might want such as a VC or a different login manager. <emphasis>Not that I'm asking everything to be supported.</emphasis> I'm just hoping no one starts lopping off other features for causing "breakage". -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
