Title:
Pulseaudio won't start when home directory not owned by user
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I have an NFS mounted home directory on a dedicated fileserver which is
shared with Windows PCs via SMB.
The home directory is not owned by me. ACLs are set on it to allow me
full control of the contents but prevent me from changing its permissions.
This means any files or directories created in the home directory are owned
by me even though the top level is not.
Pulseaudio checks the home directory is owned by the user at startup and
exits if it isn't. This stops it running on my system.
I have recompiled pulseaudio without this check and it works fine.
Please either remove or modify the following startup check:
pulseaudio-1.1/src/pulsecore/src/pulsecore/core-util.c line 1415:
if (st.st_uid != getuid()) {
pa_log_error("Home directory %s not ours.", h);
errno = EACCES;
goto finish;
}
A better check would be for pulseaudio to try and create the files/folders it
needs and fail if it cannot.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and pulseaudio 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.2.

A fix for this has been merged upstream:

I believe this should make it into the 14.0 release.

Hi,
This still affects both 14.04 and 16.04 (and probably affects the newer
non-LTS releases). We apply a patch downstream, which I've attached.

This problem is still present on more recent versions of Ubuntu. We
currently locally patch it to allow home directories to be owned by
either the relevant user, or root.
It would be great if this was patched upstream.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1152137] Re: Pulseaudio won't start when home directory not owned by user
Remi,
thanks for the reply. It isn't really a bug in our setup - more of a
feature.
We use NetApp fileservers that support multi-mode filestores so we can use NTFS
ACLs
and Unix permissions on the same filestore. Most of our users use Windows, so
home directory
access is controlled with Windows ACLs. However, any files created by Linux
should have normal
Unix permissions. We could have also seen the same problem using NFS4 ACLs
instead of NTFS ACLs.
I'll have another look at our permissions to see if it is possilble to make the
home directory
appear to be owned by the user, but it still seems like an unecessary check to
me.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1152137] Re: Pulseaudio won't start when home directory not owned by user
I don't know about this specific code path, but there are security
reasons why PulseAudio wants the directory owned by the user. Namely it
creates files with predictable names therein.
If the home directory is not owned by the user, that looks more like a
bug in your setup...
