Trying to figure out other cases that might result in the same failure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/832401 Title: pactl command fails with connection refused Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When running the pactl command to set the audio, I get Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/832401/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
