Public bug reported: The xenial backport of the fix for 1781428 malfunctioned due to the use of snapd-glib behaviour introduced after the version included in xenial: namely auto-connection (and reconnection) to the snapd socket that was introduced in snapd-glib 1.24.
With the policy module loaded, Pulse Audio will contact snapd to check the interfaces plugged by a client in order to decide whether to provide access to the microphone. As the Pulse Audio daemon is long lived, it is not uncommon for the socket connection to be disconnected (either due to a timeout, or because snapd is upgraded while the user is logged in). So simply adding a snapd_client_connect() call at module initialisation time is not sufficient. The specific snapd-glib calls that could be affected are: * snapd_client_list_one_async * snapd_client_get_interfaces_async ** Affects: snapd-glib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to snapd-glib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793298 Title: snapd-glib changes needed for pulseaudio snap policy module xenial backport To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd-glib/+bug/1793298/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
