It takes too long to login or logout from Gnome. How do I fix this?

Gnome uses Esound system to transfer sound data. If you access Gnome with Xmanager, Gnome requests Esound service to the X server (Xmanager) machine. If TCP 16001 is blocked on your PC, login/logout may take a while due to delay of handling sound service request.

Note

In Windows Vista, we do not recommend using Esound daemon of Gnome system because even if the port is open, access to the port is blocked unless there is a service daemon running on the port.

How to disable Esound daemon on Linux

  1. After login to Gnome, System-> Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound -> Sounds tab
  2. Unselect 'Enable software sound mixing (ESD)'


How to disable Esound dameon on Solaris

  1. After login to Gnome, Launch -> Preference -> Desktop Preferences -> Sound
  2. Unselect Enable Sound Server Startup option on Sound Preference


Note

You can also Install Xmanager Patch (Xmanager 3.0 Build 0114 or higher, Xmanager Enterprise 3 build 0188 or higher): eSound processing is supported since these build versions.
