[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1899352] Re: Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning
OK those are different filenames to your first comment #3, which is why they don't exist... Packages like pulseaudio are intended to support multiple different distros and "flavours". Sometimes those won't have systemd. So especially if the package predates systemd, there's no reason to drop files that support the alternatives. Such files are harmless, mostly unused, and occasionally useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899352 Title: Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: On my freshly installed system, I need to run pulseaudio in system mode.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1899352] Re: Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning
The package "pulseaudio" contains the files: /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-enable-autospawn.conf Thus, it should be fairly obvious where I got the files from. And /etc/pulse/client.conf is ignored, despite my user (and root) not having a ~/.local/pulse directory. And why would we need files for non-systemd systems if Ubuntu _is_ a systemd-base system? So I still think something is quite wrong with the pulseaudio package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899352 Title: Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: On my freshly installed system, I need to run pulseaudio in system mode.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1899352] Re: Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning
Thanks, that's fair enough. My remaining questions then are: 1. Why is /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio needed? 2. Why is /etc/pulse/client.conf ignored? 3. In light of 2, why is /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-respawn-something needed? 4. And in light of /lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service, why is /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop needed? Wouldn't one way to start pulseaudio be sufficient? Also, please don't ignore the configuration. Finally, how can I use any of these methods to start pulseaudio in system mode? Adding -D to /lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service did not work (probably because I'm not root). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899352 Title: Pulseaudio cannot be kept from starting or respawning Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: On my freshly installed system, I need to run pulseaudio in system mode.
