Package: pulseaudio Version: 4.0-6+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I reinstalled my Debian sid system after a hard drive failure, and noticed that pulseaudio wasn't working: I had no sound, and pavucontrol fails to connect to the daemon. I ran pulseaudio from a zsh console, and I got this result: pulseaudio --daemonize --start E: [autospawn] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/0/pulse): Permission denied W: [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock It appears that pulseaudio is trying to open the lock in root's (UID 0's) /run/user/ directory, not my user (UID 1000). It does not appear that pulseaudio is setuid root, as the following shows: ls -l $(which pulseaudio) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83K Sep 12 05:12 /usr/bin/pulseaudio* Nothing I've tried has worked. I have ensured my user is part of the audio, pulse, and pulse-access groups. I see bug #576769 which seems to report the same issue, but doesn't report the actual name of the secure directory attempted. My attempt to build from source (as suggested by #576769) failed because I apparently built the pulseaudio_4.0-6 source, not pulseaudio_4.0-6+b1, and this has now gotten too deep for me. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pulseaudio depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii consolekit 0.4.6-3+b1 ii libasound2 1.0.27.2-3 ii libasound2-plugins 1.0.27-2+b1 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.18-2 ii libfftw3-single3 3.3.3-7 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.2-7 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libltdl7 2.4.2-1.3 ii liborc-0.4-0 1:0.4.18-1 ii libpulse0 4.0-6+b1 ii libsamplerate0 0.1.8-5 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libsndfile1 1.0.25-7 ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1.1-1 ii libstdc++6 4.8.2-7 ii libsystemd-login0 204-5 ii libtdb1 1.2.12-1 ii libudev1 204-5 ii libwebrtc-audio-processing-0 0.1-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxcb1 1.9.1-3.1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian12 ii udev 204-5 Versions of packages pulseaudio recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.31-3+nmu2 ii pulseaudio-module-x11 4.0-6+b1 ii rtkit 0.10-3 Versions of packages pulseaudio suggests: pn paman <none> pn paprefs <none> ii pavucontrol 1.0-1 pn pavumeter <none> ii pulseaudio-utils 4.0-6+b1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
