GilgongoJones, I feel very sorry... Killing pulseaudio explicitly do not prevent it to pup up when starting ekiga.
The only way I found is to remove the pulseaudio package. Would you be kind enough to try this? First kill pulseaudio: $ pulseaudio -k Remove the pulseaudio package: $ sudo aptitude remove pulseaudio (it will probably remove the meta package ubuntu-desktop, please note down any other package as you might need to reinstall them) Run the Monitor System application (under Administration->Monitor system) and make sure there is no pulseaudio process in the Process tab. If it is there, kill it. Get the backtrace. To reinstall the system you can use: $ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop And finally restart pulseaudio: $ pulseaudio -D Best regards, Yannick -- Ekiga freeze after I press hang up button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391976 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
