Bug ID: 373630
Summary: pulseaudio doesn't start up correctly
Product: kdelibs
Version: frameworks
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: rkch...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I tried using KDE on many different distros (kubuntu, fedora, neon, and
currently antergos) and for each one, pulseaudio doesn't start correctly on
boot. The effect of this is that nothing picks up audio from my webcam's mic
until I restart pulseaudio. Yes, I have to restart pulseaudio because if I try
to just run "pulseaudio --start", I get the following error:
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at
{96b4dc501e4113f6e74f263d0000001c}unix:
/home/username/.pulse/96b4dc501e4113f6e74f263d0000001c-runtime/native, which
appears to be local. Probing deeper.
My temporary workaround right now is to add in the Autostart Applications
"pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start".
Seems like a strange thing to need to add, but I can't seem to figure out the
right settings to set in /etc/pulse/client.conf and/or start-pulseaudio-x11 to
get pulseaudio started correctly the first time.
Also, I can understand if a couple distros don't get the pulseaudio settings
set up correctly with KDE, but this has happened on every distro that I tried,
For each one, KDE is either the default desktop environment or an official
"flavor" or "spin", so I've been installing KDE directly from the install media
provided by the distro.
