Public bug reported: System is Ubuntu 16.04 According to Ubuntu Pulseaudio MAN page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/default.pa.5.html it says... The PulseAudio sound server interprets a configuration script on startup, which is mainly used to define the set of modules to load. When PulseAudio runs in the per-user mode and ~/.config/pulse/default.pa exists, that file is used. When PulseAudio runs in the per-user mode and that file doesn't exist, /etc/pulse/default.pa is used. On my system I have put the following into - /etc/pulse/default.pa load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip- acl=127.0.0.1;10.204.151.0/24 The contents of my ~/.config/pulse/ directory contains NO default.pa file only the cookie file: $ ls ~/.config/pulse cookie After a reload I issue the command patcl list modules and the "module- native-protocol-tcp" is NOT listed ? $ pactl list modules Module #0 Name: module-augment-properties Argument: Usage counter: n/a Properties: module.author = "Lennart Poettering" module.description = "Augment the property sets of streams with additional static information" module.version = "8.0" Module #1 Name: module-always-sink Argument: Usage counter: n/a Properties: module.author = "Colin Guthrie" module.description = "Always keeps at least one sink loaded even if it's a null one" module.version = "8.0" Module #3 Name: module-xrdp-sink Argument: Usage counter: 0 Properties: module.author = "Jay Sorg" module.description = "xrdp sink" module.version = "8.0" Module #4 Name: module-xrdp-source Argument: Usage counter: n/a Properties: module.author = "Laxmikant Rashinkar" module.description = "xrdp source" module.version = "8.0" Module #5 Name: module-native-protocol-unix Argument: Usage counter: n/a Properties: module.author = "Lennart Poettering" module.description = "Native protocol (UNIX sockets)" module.version = "8.0" Module #6 Name: module-cli-protocol-unix Argument: Usage counter: n/a Properties: module.author = "Lennart Poettering" module.description = "Command line interface protocol (UNIX sockets)" module.version = "8.0" I am filing this bug because according to the MAN page (see above)... since I do NOT have a ~/.config/pulse/default.pa Ubuntu/Pulseaudio should be executing the /etc/pulse/default.pa configuration instead... which should be loading: load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip- acl=127.0.0.1;10.204.151.0/24 but it not. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: pulseaudio ** Tags added: pulseaudio -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1583256 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Pulseaudio does not use /etc/pulse/default.pa if ~/.config/pulse/default.pa does not exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1583256/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
