I was able to reproduce this finally. It is a matter of killing media- hub-server:
pkill -9 media-hub (this has the same effect as a media-hub-server crash). media-hub-server re-starts, but it looks like not all the system recovers and re-connects to dbus-interface. Voice calls ringing, telegram notifications and videos/music still sound, but SMS notifications and screenshots do not emit sound anymore. So we have here: * A media-hub-server crash (could somebody please check if they have crash files for media-hub-server in /var/crash?) * An issue with reconnections to media-hub, for: 1. SMS notifications. telephony-service-indicator is the responsible for them 2. Screenshot sound. unity8 is the one emitting it Recently there was an effort to make media-hub *client library* resilient to media-hub-server crashes, but it looks like that has not been enough for this case. However, I am not sure if we can completely restore transparently from the library or we need that indicator/unity8 to be ready for media-hub crashes and be able to re-connect. ** Changed in: media-hub (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544477 Title: No sound notification for new SMS (Ubuntu Touch) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1544477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
