Volcano, I have a solution that worked for me (my brother's home partition was NTFS). Though I didn't think to update pulseaudio to see if the most recent one fixed the problem...
Make a small partition around 5 MiB with a file system that supports symbolic links (like ext3). Mount that partition to /home/volcano/.pulse/ in fstab. Make sure you set everything in there to have the right permissions too: "chmod/chown ~/.pulse to root/root 700" I found that volcano/volcano instead of root/root will work too. This way pulse audio can make a symbolic link from ~/.pulse to /tmp and succeed! Nasty work around; I know. But it is a way to get pulseaudio working while your home partition is NTFS, which is better than falling back to ALSA (which I assume is the most up to date behavior in this situation). -- pulseaudio hangs, prevents login, home as ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
