Otherwise it will not connect to the pulseaudio daemon. Unfortunatly the values of both files are in all OpenSuse 12.3 installs ALWAYS different. It is highly reproducible in all installations I had so far. Furthermore the value of /var/lib/dbus/machine-id seems to be supposed to be the same as /etc/machine-id. A symlink to /etc/machine-id would solve the issue completely. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just install OpenSuse 12.3 2. 3. Actual Results: Different values in both files Expected Results: Same value in both files -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now, the http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machine-id.html does not specify anywhere that the /etc/machine-id and /var/lib/dbus/machine-id must correspond to each other. So, it is a kind of mistake if a software relies on them being identical. The software normally should assume that they can be different and handle that case graciously.

Might be true. But where is the reason to create two files with different value in the system? I think your suggestion to create the second file only if the first one is not found is the method of choice. Nevertheless a check for same value is advised. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Same bug in OpenSuse 13.1. Installed on different PC in a virtual box.

Confirmed. Installed openSUSE 13.1 about two weeks ago and installed steam. I had no sound in any game from Valve. What worked for me, delete the dbus one, then create a symlink. sudo ln -s /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1179#issuecomment-13... Now I have sound again in all games from Valve. This solution has helped already at least two other 13.1 users.(source openSUSE forum ) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
