Ah, got it. Pulseaudio won't start (under my user's account) because of: E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=plughw:0 rate=44100"): initialization failed. E: main.c: Module load failed. E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
And that module was specified in ~/.pulse/default.pa, which is a leftover from the time when pulseaudio wasn't working and I was trying to do something about it. So I deleted ~/.pulse/default.pa, stopped pulseaudio that was started by hand and polkitd is still behaving perfectly fine. Even the music is playing, although I have no pulseaudio running. :-) Then I killed polkitd and it wasn't restarted. So I started pulseudio by hand (from my user's account) and then polkitd appeared. It's peacefully sleeping in poll() and isn't leaking memory. -- High CPU usage in policykit-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
