Hello. I've just looked closer at this, I see a pattern now and I think I know the problem.
I have pulseaudio running as a system-wide instance, with SCHED_FIFO enabled. Each time I run a GTK program (eg, gedit) from the console, I get this message immediately after the command line: W: main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'pulse-rt'. W: main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'pulse-rt'. In /var/log/user.log I get something like: Jun 17 14:56:11 cimer pulseaudio[16764]: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied Jun 17 14:56:11 cimer pulseaudio[16764]: core-util.c: sched_setscheduler(): Operation not permitted Jun 17 14:56:11 cimer pulseaudio[16764]: main.c: Root priviliges required. Jun 17 14:56:11 cimer pulseaudio[16767]: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied Jun 17 14:56:11 cimer pulseaudio[16767]: core-util.c: sched_setscheduler(): Operation not permitted Jun 17 14:56:11 cimer pulseaudio[16767]: main.c: Root priviliges required. I'm not sure if it's always twice, for "gedit" it always happens twice, I don't know why. Presumably at start-up the GTK libraries initialize sound (for beeps and stuff) and triggers the error. /var/log/messages only shows the two core-util.c errors. I've checked and the group pulse-rt isn't used, which is presumably the problem. I'm not quite sure who needs to belong to that group, so I've added myself and pulse to the group, I'll see after a reboot if the issue goes away. I'd expect one of the pa-utils to notice an error like this, and the error message to be a bit more clear. (I.e., it should at least tell who should be added to pulse-rt, and maybe mention the help file to use.) -- pulseaudio fills logs with "Root privileges required" messages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
