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
