Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) reached end-of-life on October 23, 2010.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429533 Title: pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as cifs Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: We are using an up to date Ubuntu 9.04 with an cifs home directory for the users. When a user tries to login, the login hangs, until the pulseaudio daemon gets killed or the broken symlinks in ~/.pulse/ get removed. If the user has no dead symlinks in $HOME/.pulse the login does not hang. To solve this situation we edited /usr/bin/pulse-session as follows: --- pulse-session.orig 2009-09-14 17:10:49.000000000 +0200 +++ pulse-session 2009-09-14 17:23:57.000000000 +0200 @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ if [ -x /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 ] && \ [ $PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START -eq 0 ] && \ [ ! -f $HOME/.pulse_a11y_nostart ]; then + /usr/bin/find -L $HOME/.pulse -maxdepth 1 -type l -delete /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 fi This patch ensures, that broken symlinks and only those are remove from ~/.pulse dir before the pulseaudio daemon starts up. Symlinks on cifs are known for not working very well. That getent term ensures that the find term gets the home directory independent of where they are stored.
