Title:
start-pulseaudio-x11 tries to load
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg which is missing in Kubuntu
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The script /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 contains the line
/usr/bin/pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg
bell.ogg > /dev/null
However, the file /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg wasn't
present in my Kubuntu 17.04 installation. It's part of the package
ubuntu-sounds that apparently isn't installed in Kubuntu by default
(no wonder, the description says "Ubuntu's GNOME audio theme").
Since the script is run with sh -e it stops at the first failure and
therefore pulseaudio is not initialized correctly (for example,
module-device-manager isn't loaded which prevents configuration of
device preferences).
To me this sounds like a missing dependency of the pulseaudio package
on ubuntu-sounds package.
System information:
Kubuntu 17.04
pulseaudio version 1:10.0-1ubuntu2
Expected behaviour: script /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 runs
correctly and properly initializes pulseaudio
Actual behaviour: script doesn't run correctly and therefore
pulseaudio isn't initialized properly.
