Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-media
My home directory is mounted by the automounter using NFS4 with kerberos
authentication. gnome-volume-control (or pulseaudio) seems to have a
problem with that setup, reporting "Failed to create secure directory:
Permission denied". Other applications using pulseaudio don't work
either. When I log in as a local user with a local home directory,
everything works fine.
Using strace, I got the following output which I think is the relevant
part here:
stat("/home/axel/.pulse", 0x7fffd6523d60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
getuid() = 1007
stat("/tmp/pulse-axel", 0x7fffd6523d60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/axel", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=141, ...}) = 0
getuid() = 1007
umask(077) = 022
mkdir("/home/axel/.pulse", 0700) = 0
umask(022) = 077
getuid() = 1007
getgid() = 1007
chown("/home/axel/.pulse", 1007, 1007) = 0
chmod("/home/axel/.pulse", 0700) = 0
lstat("/home/axel/.pulse", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=2, ...}) = 0
rmdir("/home/axel/.pulse") = 0
write(2, "Failed to create secure director"..., 53Failed to create secure
directory: Permission denied
) = 53
