The 25 second delay is a standard dbus timeout. I assume you're talking about:
Mar 10 11:30:25 username-MBB-44608 pulseaudio[1308]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. Mar 10 11:30:49 username-MBB-44608 pulseaudio[1150]: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) It sounds like maybe your system is launching too many instances of pulseaudio. The first works and the second fails. I'm not sure how Xubuntu differs in this respect but I don't think we see the same bug in standard Ubuntu. ** Summary changed: - Failed to activate service + Xubuntu: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) ** Also affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754836 Title: Xubuntu: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1754836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
