Package: sddm
Version: 0.19.0-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am not really sure, if this is a sddm, pulseaudio or systemd bug, as all
three seem somehow involved:
Pulseaudio installs pulseaudio.service and pulseaudio.socket below
/usr/lib/systemd/user/ i.e. pulseaudio is started for every systemd user
session. As sddm is started with the user sddm, this starts a systemd user
session and therefore sddm starts pulseaudio.
This seems to be totally unnecessary, and leads to a warning when logging in
with the normal user. The shortened output of
"journalctl --priority warning --boot --output verbose" contains
PRIORITY=4
_TRANSPORT=journal
_UID=121
_GID=142
_AUDIT_LOGINUID=121
_SYSTEMD_OWNER_UID=121
_SYSTEMD_SLICE=user-121.slice
_SYSTEMD_UNIT=user@121.service
_PID=1010
MESSAGE=After module unload, module 'module-null-sink' was still loaded!
CODE_FILE=../src/pulsecore/module.c
CODE_FUNC=pa_module_unload_all
CODE_LINE=367
SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=pulseaudio
_COMM=pulseaudio
_EXE=/usr/bin/pulseaudio
_CMDLINE=/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no --log-target=journal
_SYSTEMD_CGROUP=/user.slice/user-121.slice/user@121.service/session.slice/pulseaudio.service
_SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT=pulseaudio.service
_SYSTEMD_USER_SLICE=session.slice
I confirmed that user sddm has a pulseaudio process running when no user is
logged in with SDDM.
sddm should most probably not start pulseaudio at all and maybe also not all
the other services in a systemd user session and possibly no systemd user
session in the beginning.
Kind regards
Patrick
