That was my problem. When starting xfce with: exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-session I was getting the error. I don't really know how dbus is used by pulseaudio so I didn't want to arbitrarily remove the dbus pulseaudio-system.conf file. I'll go with more knowledgeable advice, but in the sense of educating users, I'd think a short paragraph saying why running pulseaudio as system daemon is not recommended. In any case, I didn't check the rendering of the page very well. As a minimum, that needs to be fixed. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
