Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
After an upgrade from gutsy to hardy alpha 4 using update-manager -d,
the sound didn't work properly, due to bad permissions in $HOME/.pulse
and $HOME/.pulse-cookie
I saw this:
%pulseaudio
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
E: authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/home/cundy/.pulse-cookie':
Permission denied
E: authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/home/cundy/.pulse-cookie':
Permission denied
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-native-protocol-unix" (argument:
""): initialization failed.
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: failed to initialize daemon.
%ls -l /home/cundy/.pulse-cookie
-rw------- 1 root root 256 2008-02-04 18:34 /home/cundy/.pulse-cookie
After
%chown cundy:cundy /home/cundy/.pulse-cookie
I got
%pulseaudio
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
W: core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file
'/home/cundy/.pulse/default-sink': Permission denied
W: core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file
'/home/cundy/.pulse/default-source': Permission denied
I fixed it with
chown cundy:cundy /home/cundy/.pulse
and then sound started to work.
The permissions need to be fixed in whichever one of the pulseaudio
packages is relevant.
