Hi Anton, As a workaround, you can try to edit the systemd file "/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service" and add the line:
``` RestartSec=2s ``` Your [Service] section would look like to this: ``` [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no --log-target=journal LockPersonality=yes MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes NoNewPrivileges=yes Restart=on-failure RestartSec=2s RestrictNamespaces=yes SystemCallArchitectures=native SystemCallFilter=@system-service # Note that notify will only work if --daemonize=no Type=notify UMask=0077 ``` Samuel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916722 Title: Pulseaudio fails to start after reboot if home partition is encrypted Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It seems that with Ubuntu 20.10, Pulseaudio now tries to start as main user too early, before user logs in and the home partition is decrypted. Probably pulseaudio should not start as main user before login of this user. Starting pulseaudio manually after login works. grep 'pulseaudio' /var/log/syslog Feb 24 10:52:31 aziber systemd[1451]: Not generating service for XDG autostart app-pulseaudio-autostart.service, startup phases are not supported.
