Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.15-4.1 Severity: important i installed pulseaudio with a bunch of related packages (modules, utils) and tried to access the server with pactl stat but it only results in Connection failure: Connection refused
other tools (paman, padevchooser) show the very same behaviour. i checked with my ubuntu box and following that added myself to the group pulse-access, but to no avail. starting pulseaudio with -vvv neither yields any helpful remarks. the only slightly intersting info is in syslog, every time i do pactl stat in sysctl the line pulseaudio[6784]: pid.c: Daemon already running. is written. i don't really understand why an out-of-the-box installation of pulseaudio does not result in a working configuration, more so, since in tested it yesterday on a debian/sid box with i386 instead -- and it simply worked. i am member of the following groups: arne dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev netdev powerdev nvram vboxusers pulse-access pulse-rt -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pulseaudio depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii consolekit 0.3.0-4 framework for defining and trackin ii libasound2 1.0.20-4 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libasyncns0 0.3-1 Asyncronous name service query lib ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 1:2.16-5 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libflac8 1.2.1-2+b1 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-6 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libhal1 0.5.13-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libltdl7 2.2.6a-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libogg0 1.1.4~dfsg-1 Ogg bitstream library ii liboil0.3 0.3.16-1 Library of Optimized Inner Loops ii libpolkit-dbus2 0.9-4 library for accessing PolicyKit vi ii libpolkit2 0.9-4 library for accessing PolicyKit ii libpulse0 0.9.15-4.1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsamplerate0 0.1.7-2 audio rate conversion library ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libsndfile1 1.0.20-1+b1 Library for reading/writing audio ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex extended runtime library ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-6 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc2 1.2.0.dfsg-6 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages pulseaudio recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.16-1 GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio ii libasound2-plugins 1.0.20-1 ALSA library additional plugins ii pulseaudio-esound-compat 0.9.15-4.1 PulseAudio ESD compatibility layer ii pulseaudio-module-hal 0.9.15-4.1 HAL device detection module for Pu ii pulseaudio-module-x11 0.9.15-4.1 X11 module for PulseAudio sound se Versions of packages pulseaudio suggests: ii paman 0.9.4-1 PulseAudio Manager ii paprefs 0.9.8-1 PulseAudio Preferences ii pavucontrol 0.9.8-1 PulseAudio Volume Control ii pavumeter 0.9.3-1 PulseAudio Volume Meter ii pulseaudio-utils 0.9.15-4.1 Command line tools for the PulseAu -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
