I am seeing timeout from the approver while trying to create an instance of media-hub in the dbus.log file.
Media-hub is a telepathy observer (it watches telepathy to stop music when there is an incoming call), and telepathy by design won't forward the incoming call to the approver (to display the snap decision) until all observers confirm receiving the incoming channel first. If media-hub is really stuck for some reason, that would explain the issue, since after a dbus timeout trying to deliver the channel to media-hub, telepathy would still try to deliver the channel to the approver, which would make the snap decision appear, and quickly disappear (since the incoming call is already gone). This is a guess, but seems to match what Matthew described, and what I see in the logs: ----- virtual QMediaService* AalServicePlugin::create(const QString&) "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer" Failed to start a new media-hub player session: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Failed to create a new media player backend. Video playback will not function. Could not finish contructing new AalMediaPlayerService instance since m_hubPlayerSession is NULL ---- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588127 Title: Phone abandons incoming call To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1588127/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
