Bug Description
Fresh install of Edubuntu server x86_64 Feisty. Steps to reproduce bug 100% of the time:
1. Create user
2. Boot thin client and login with username
3. Log out of thin client
3. Login to server with username
4. Click the logout button
5. Click any of the logout options
The computer is not totally frozen; I can still move the mouse and if there is music playing it continues playing. I can still use tty and ssh.
If I login to tty1 with a different user and do
"ps -u guest > echo > output.normal"
while in an X session with guest, then after trying to logout, do
"ps -u guest > echo > output.frozen"
then
"diff output.normal output.frozen"
I see
"3c3
< 7879 ? 00:00:00 x-session-manag
---
> 7879 ? 00:00:01 x-session-manag
19a20
> 8631 ? 00:00:00 esd"
which looks like esd has started with the attempt to logout. If I do
"sudo kill -9 8631"
then I get back to my gdm login screen, as if the esd was causing the hang.

I have investigated this somewhat further and found that if I do in gnome-terminal while logged into X on the server
$ esd
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
It appears that esound is not able to run, although "enable sofware sound mixing (ESD)" is selected in System > Preferences > Sound.
If I'm not mistaken, pulseaudio is the appropriate sound device on a thin client. I'm sure in my steps to reproduce bug I should have included "2a. Change Volume Control Applet device to Pulseaudio". Although I have changed the device back to the server's hardware setting (HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer)) when logged into the server, there appears to be another esound setting somewhere that needs to be changed back manually if not automatically when logged into the server.
I checked /etc/esound/
