I am seeing something similar where this kind of error produces the following behavior:
In syslog: pulseaudio[2123]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-x11-xsmp" (argument: "display=:0.0 session_manager=local/rpk-desk:@/tmp/.ICE- unix/2044,unix/rpk-desk:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2044"): initialization failed Shortly after logging into the GUI desktop, the display freezes, but machine is still alive. (For example, you can ssh in.) When idle, the screen goes blank. Move the mouse, the screen saver unlock dialog shows, and I can type in password to log back in. Then I see my desktop again, but, again, the display is frozen. Disabling integrated audio from the BIOS solved the problem. It's a good thing I don't need sound. This machine (Dell dual Pentium 4 desktop) has been running Ubuntu since October 2007 and has been continuously upgraded since then. This problem did not occur until yesterday. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit) with all the latest updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361517 Title: Pulseaudio doesn't load module-x11-xsmp -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
