Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] Start condition failed - ConditionUser=!root not met
Tanu - Thank you for your response. Please note - I have very little experience with pulseaudio and alsa, except as a user. When it comes to the configuration, I'm a complete novice and concluded that I made a mistake somewhere by copying these files. Yes, I copied the file from user library and it does contain the following lines (16 & 17): Requires=pulseaudio.socket ConditionUser=!root Here is a link to the complete pulseaudio.service file: https://susepaste.org/20298491 I gather that the comments preceding those lines hint at the problem I created. For completeness, here is a link to the modified client.conf file: https://susepaste.org/83477827 What do you suggest I do here?

The systemctl status output looks like it does, but that doesn't make sense in a system service (and the rudd-o page doesn't contain that line, so I don't know why you would have that, unless you copied the user service to the system service, but in your list of modifications you didn't say that you did so). The systemctl output also indicates that pulseaudio.service was triggered by pulseaudio.socket, so check also that (the system version of) pulseaudio.socket doesn't contain "ConditionUser=!root". Again, rudd-o doesn't instruct you to set up a socket activation unit, nor did you mention doin that in your message, so I don't understand why pulseaudio.socket would be involved at all. -- Tanu
