[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1296425] Re: pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible.
This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.91.9 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.91.9) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium * sl-modem plugin: Keep environment for aplay, just ensure it's using the C locale. This avoids staring pulseaudio twice and causing races for attaching devices to pulseaudio. (LP: #1296425) ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.91.8) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium * gpu-manager.c: - Refine checks for blacklisted modules, so that we don't end up catching false positives (LP: #1376966).

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.97 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.97) utopic; urgency=medium * tests/testarchive.py: Organize debs in pool/ structure, for better reusability. * tests/ubuntu_drivers.py: Drop expected failures, they've succeeded for a long time. This needs to be fixed properly if there's a bug. * sl-modem plugin: Keep environment for aplay, just ensure it's using the C locale.

To Martin Pitt: Thank you very much for the fix. I manually applied that commit to my sl_modem.py and it of course works. Restarting the computer, or running ubuntu-drivers list doesn't result in a second instance of pulseaudio. Also, the duplicate bug: USB microphone inputs not detected by Pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1325282 is of course fixed for me too with that fix (the two pulseaudio instances raced each other for opening the /dev/snd/... devices).

The aplay call was introduced in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jockey- hackers/jockey/trunk/revision/519 for bug 295158. Apparently some sl- modem types don't appear in /proc/asound/cards. It's indeed a strange hack, but so is sl-modem in the first place :) Beyond that bug report I'm afraid I have no idea about this -- I never had such a modem, and thus I don't have the opportunity to test any change.

Also solved the problem here! Using 'aplay -l' seems like a rather strange hack to detect a software modem. I think either the Python ALSA bindings or /proc/asound/cards for that instead only. Right now 'aplay -l' apparently is only called when no modem is found through /proc/asound/cards as a fallback. Martin Pitt, is there any specific reason for this fallback behavior? Should it be reimplemented using Python's ALSA bindings or maybe could be gotten rid off completely? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-plugins in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296425 Title: pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1296425] Re: pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible.
On saturday I made some tests and found the root CAUSE of the issue, and
the SOLUTION.
The reason aplay is called, is because it is used to enumerate sound cards,
(with the -l argument as in aplay -l), by ubuntu-drivers, to find ye-old
software modems.
The ubuntu-drivers-common package scripts are called by the
kubuntu-driver-manager
package scripts on login to KDE's desktop. Aplay is also called when going to
AdditionalDrivers
or running ubuntu-drivers list.
The reason why the pulseaudio process created by 'aplay' remains running, is
because aplay and thus
pulseaudio receive an empty environment (no environment variables).
Since pulseaudio receives an empty environment, it cannot know from which
session or
DISPLAY it was called, and whether another pulseaudio is already running for
that session.
Because of that, we end up with two different pulseaudio processes, and thus
one interferes with the
other, producing device busy errors while plugging our USB
headsets/mics/webcams,
resulting in them not getting fully recognized.
The solution is as follows: Edit this file:
/usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/detect/sl-modem.py
and replace this line:
aplay = subprocess.Popen(['aplay', '-l'], env={},
with this line:
aplay = subprocess.Popen(['aplay', '-l'],
By removing the named 'env={}' argument, the aplay -l receives the environment
and can distinguish the correct pulseaudio process.
Another way to workaround this, but quick and dirty, is to simply add a line:
return None
right above the aplay line, with the same spacing (indentation level),
to disable looking for software modems at login if you don't plan on
using dial-up modems :-)
Details:
I obtained the process list by adding redirecting 'aplay' temporarily to a
script, which had a sleep 30 delay, so
that I could get it in ps axf.
The process list at the time of calling aplay is:
\_ init --user
[...]
\_ dbus-daemon --fork --session
--address=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-l0CdfJrRGy
| \_ [dbus-daemon] defunct
[...]
\_ python3 /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/DriverManager_DBus
\_ /usr/bin/aplay -l
\_ /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
Looking by the process number, for the second pulseaudio instance,
cat /proc//environ
is empty.
I found by tracing the python calls that the file which runs aplay is:
/usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/detect/sl-modem.py
(if I skip/comment the call to aplay on that file, the issue dissapears).
The file sl-modem.py belongs to the package:
ubuntu-drivers-common
and the DriverManager_DBus script which runs at logon belongs to the
package:
kubuntu-driver-manager
which explains why this issue only affects us Kubuntu users, but in reality,
it also affects all Ubuntu users, because any time they enter the
driver manager (either by softwarke-properties-gtk or Additional Drivers, or
by running ubuntu-drivers list in the console) they are going to get a
duplicate process for pulseaudio until they restart.
Many Thanks to all the guys in this thread: you pointed me in the right
direction.
My Zoom H2n is now correctly recognized with the solution I explained at the
top of this post.
Maintainers:
Please evaluate if removing 'env={}' from the aplay line at the sl-modem.py
file
of the ubuntu-drivers-common package is a worthy and safe patch so that
everyone benefits.
Cheers,
Juan Manuel Cabo

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1296425] Re: pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible.
I'm sorry that the previous post was too long.
This is the summary:
1) aplay -l gets called with an empty environment by a script in
ubuntu-drivers-common which Kubuntu runs at startup, through the
DriverManager_DBus.
aplay -l doesn't find a pulseaudio and creates a new one (through libasound),
because it has no environment and no way to know the session on which
pulseaudio is already running.
2) The solution is to: Edit this file:
/usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/detect/sl-modem.py
and replace this line:
aplay = subprocess.Popen(['aplay', '-l'], env={},
with this line:
aplay = subprocess.Popen(['aplay', '-l'],
NOTE TO MAINTAINERS: please evaluate if this solution is safe and sound, and if
so, create a patch so that everyone benefits, and can have USB sound devices
usable again (no more device busy errors while having an spurious extra
pulseaudio instance).
Cheers,
Juan Manuel Cabo

- fix Pulseaudio's self-detection so that it works when the first instance is still initializing Yes, this is what should happen.

It seems to be specific to KDE too.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1296425] Re: pulseaudio is started twice - effectively making device management impossible.
Yes, it only seems to happen with KDE. I also found that Pulseaudio installs one extra start-up script for KDE only in /etc/xdg/autostart. The man pages of these scripts both mention they will use an already running Pulseaudio. I think the proper solution is either: - run Pulseaudio *once* and never again (when logging in) - fix Pulseaudio's self-detection so that it works when the first instance is still initializing As for running Pulseaudio as a specific user, I wonder what would happen when multiple users are logging onto a system at the same time.

At the end here at least, the pid file points to the lowest PID. Could I check it during the start-up phase as well? Could it be possible the 2nd instance is already loading before the 1st has a chance to write its pid file? Does it make sense that Pulseaudio's respawn option should be turned on, while it is also explicitly loaded by the log-on scripts?

Well, the question is why aplay - alsa pulse plugin - libpulse does not connect to the existing instance but instead starts a new one.

ok - chmod -x /usr/bin/aplay solves it. Now that aplay does not run pulseaudio no additional instances is run. Now the question is why aplay runs pulseaudio. Lokking the the alsa-repositories I found the following * alsa-utils - nothing interesting. * alsa-lib - nothing interesting. * alsa-plugins - lots of pulseaudio related stuff.
