Public bug reported: PulseAudio Preferences (paprefs) appears to be searching for modules in the wrong location.
Specifically, the "install" button appears when modules relevant modules cannot be found by paprefs. paprefs is searching for modules in the location: /usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/ the modules are actually located in: /usr/lib/pulse-13.99.1/modules/ The specifics of this were determined via `strace paprefs`, which (among a lot of other things), produces: access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-esound-protocol-tcp.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-native-protocol-tcp.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-zeroconf-publish.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-zeroconf-discover.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-raop-discover.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-rtp-recv.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-rtp-send.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-rygel-media-server.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) creating a symlink from /usr/lib/pulse-13.99.1 to /usr/lib/pulse-13.99 resolves the issue. paprefs should perhaps be updated to match the version of the pulseaudio package. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1932066 Title: PulseAudio Preferences searches for libraries in incorrect location Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: PulseAudio Preferences (paprefs) appears to be searching for modules in the wrong location.
