Sadly, it is not completely fixed. It seems that gnome-session does not start pulseaudio by itself when a user logs in. I have to login to a terminal and manually start pulseaudio before I can login to GNOME (yes, I can also wait for about 60 seconds, but I still won't have sound in GNOME then).
However, my knowledge ends here. I have no clue how to debug the gnome- session startup scripts. All I know is that, when I want to log in to GNOME, I have to login to a terminal first and start PA manually. GNOME audio settings: all devices use PulseAudio, and software mixer (ESD) is checked. -- gnome session fails to start after upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183776 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
