> This is the message I get if I try to run pulseaudio *without* killing it
first. Are you sure that you ran 'killall' correctly.
I guess so. At least I have run the killing command first. But I have tried
anyway one more time with this:
$ killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
$
> If the same thing happens, go to "Startup Applications" and see if
pulseaudio is in there. If it is, deselect it, log out, log in again, and run
pulseaudio from a terminal
In consequence I have deselected the 'PulseAudio Sound System' from the
Startup Applications, I have shut down. I have started my computer again.
Before running command, I verified that 'PulseAudio Sound System' was still
deselected and I ran:
$ killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
$
For information: when I am now starting my computer it takes 3 minutes (more
or less) to have a fluid desktop. This is happening since the last upgrade of
Friday. This is strange I think. Can we get a log of what is running / done
when I log in after starting the computer?
