[Bug 330766] Re: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs
This is an old bug but the issue remains if mounting homefolder with cifs. If unix extensions are not enabled in samba pulseaudio cannot create a symlink to /tmp. To workaround this you can use solution #34 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/330766/comments/34) or use the bind command (no need of an extra partition): e.g. mount --bind /tmp/volcano /home/volcano/.pulse For even more flexibility use pam_mount: e.g volume path=/tmp/%(USER) mountpoint=~/.pulse options=bind / Please note: the folder /tmp/volcano has to exist with owner:group volcano:volcano. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330766 Title: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/330766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 330766] Re: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs
Volcano, I have a solution that worked for me (my brother's home partition was NTFS). Though I didn't think to update pulseaudio to see if the most recent one fixed the problem... Make a small partition around 5 MiB with a file system that supports symbolic links (like ext3). Mount that partition to /home/volcano/.pulse/ in fstab. Make sure you set everything in there to have the right permissions too: chmod/chown ~/.pulse to root/root 700 I found that volcano/volcano instead of root/root will work too. This way pulse audio can make a symbolic link from ~/.pulse to /tmp and succeed! Nasty work around; I know. But it is a way to get pulseaudio working while your home partition is NTFS, which is better than falling back to ALSA (which I assume is the most up to date behavior in this situation). -- pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 330766] Re: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs
Yep, that was intentionally the resolution of this bug - instead of hanging in the middle of the login process, pulseaudio now gives up. It's certainly not the perfect solution, but it's better than not being able to login. I'm not sure whether or not we can expect a better fix from pulseaudio upstream.

Since we are compiling for linux, 'lstat' is available. But pulseaudio
should have used 'stat' instead, because in contrast to 'stat', 'lstat'
returns the symlink's permissions (lrwxrwxrwx), not those of the target
directory (drwx--).

The above changes can be addressed. What is being discussed is why root
has suddenly consumed the files, e.g., ~/.pulse-cookie.

[Bug 330766] Re: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs
Had the same problem - checked my .pulse directory and it, and all the contents were owned by root. I've deleted it and logged in again, and everything now seems to work fine. -- pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 330766] Re: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs
The problem for potentially several people is that incorrect .pulse permissions can screw up pulseaudio working. And more importantly, the failure of pulseaudio starting means the entire desktop never gets to load up. However this can be fixed by a one off deleting of the .pulse directory, so when it respawns it has the correct permissions. The problem for me especially (the OP) is that pulseaudio needs to put special permissions on the folder in the first place. This means that when using an ntfs drive for the home directory, or something similar, there is no chance for pulseaudio to change the permissions, as the drive doesnt support them. This turns this into a design error in pulseaudio rather than just a small upgrade type bug. I should stress the other issue, why does pulseaudio hanging hold up the entire of gnome? -- pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same for me. But in contrast to the OP this bug is not related to his NTFS home directory. I'm using ext3. A freshly created user account does work. Some old setting from Intrepid that's confusing pulseaudio. -- pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
