Re: [Nix-dev] PulseAudio

I don't know how to see that process' logs. Maybe some magic journalctl option. Is it possible that it's starting as a systemd user service? Then `journalctl --user -eu pulseaudio` would work... But starting pulse like that doesn't seem to work for me. On 09/05/17 21:13, Mark Gardner wrote:

Re: [Nix-dev] PulseAudio

If you run `pulseaudio -k`, does it kill it? Once dead, what does it log if you run `pulseaudio` and then try to use pavucontrol or other program? On 09/05/17 20:58, Mark Gardner wrote: On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 2:32 PM, Sergiu Ivanov wrote: I suppose you tried rebooting

Re: [Nix-dev] pulseaudio not reading /etc/pulse/default.pa [Was: pulseaudio broken in 14.12: Daemon already running]

`man default.pa` has to say: The PulseAudio sound server interprets the file ~/.config/pulse/default.pa on startup, and when that file doesn't exist /etc/pulse/default.pa. Just out of curiosity I checked the source and it seems that this line was already there in 2007 and the code that

Re: [Nix-dev] Pulseaudio broken in 14.12: Daemon already running

As Benno said this means that most likely something is wrong with your session and you don’t get access to audio devices. What’s strange is that 14.12 uses xorg-server-1.16-* and this should run as user by default and as a result should crash with insufficient permissions to access video devices

Re: [Nix-dev] Pulseaudio broken in 14.12: Daemon already running

PulseAudio should get its permissions from systemd logind. You can use loginctl to view of you're properly assigned a seat. Regards, Benno Peter Jones mlists mli...@pmade.com@ mli...@pmade.compmade.com mli...@pmade.com schrieb am So., 25. Jan. 2015 19:40:

Re: [Nix-dev] Pulseaudio broken in 14.12: Daemon already running

What exactly do you mean by “disabling” pulseaudio? Do you have a system-wide instance of pulseaudio running (e.g. by setting `pulseAudio.systemWide = true` in the configuration.nix)? If yes, then do you have any good reasons for doing so? If no, then disable the system-wide instance. Normally,
