comparing pulseaudio configuration, some rtp modules were uncommented in the failing environment so these were commented back out; result, pulseaudio ran for about 26 minutes before failing. Daemon restarted (as configured) and sound settings retained the selected output device...but spotify is unable to restart or play.
...just failed after 3-4 minutes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1673942 Title: pulseaudio suddenly stops. No dmesg entries. Nothing in the syslog Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: this only happens when sound is through the PCI sound card. When i connect speakers to the motherboard output (I lose the 5.1 component), pulseaudio never dies. I have switched and replaced the sound card to no effect but I never really thought that was the issue. There seems to be no evidence of the failure unless I run it from the command line with -vvvv, when eventually I see a 'killed' message. The pulseaudio log collects initial messages, but nothing else is echoed to the log - which could be anything from 3-20 minutes [typically]. I'm more than happy to assist in getting whatever logs are required, but nothing I've seen documented seems to help. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC3: julie 30342 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: julie 30342 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC2: julie 30342 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: julie 30342 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-19 (670 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422) Package: pulseaudio 1:9.0-2ubuntu2.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-30.36-generic 4.2.8-ckt3 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
