Great is working ! I deactivated  the sound, and now the login on the

I assume the issue is related with the audio player audacious which 
includes the installation of the lippulse package, which may cause that 
the sound system on the server breaks.

I removed audacious, since than the login (including sound events) works 
on the server normally.
