Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I have my home directory on an ntfs drive. fstab line for the ntfs drive is UUID=DA103AC5103AA901 /windows ntfs defaults,umask=022,uid=1001,gid=1001 0 1 Log in as user 1001 Login screen disappears, goes to ubuntu brown background, and just waits. Can still move mouse, but no visual progress on screen (waited several times more than one minute). Then run $ killall pulseaudio from tty or from ssh from another computer, and then gnome loads, the panel appears, and everything (except for pulseaudio) works fine Note that uninstalling pulseaudio (and everything related) lets me log in fine Note that having my home directory on an ext3 drive works fine (sound works properly from pulseaudio too). I also used an empty home folder for testing. This kind of setup previously worked. On ubuntu hardy and intrepid, pulseaudio performed fine on a home directory on an ntfs drive. Does not work on jaunty The .xsessions-errors give the following information about pulseaudio I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. N: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time and/or high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary privileges: N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt', PolicyKit refuse to grant us the requested privileges and we have no increase RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits. N: main.c: For enabling real-time/high-priority scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit privileges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user. E: core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Permission denied W: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock. Terminated The terminated is where I killed it, and everything else in the .xsessions-errors file looks fine I have tried this setup on two laptops.
