I see this error on my 11.10 (AMD64) machine only for users with nfs- mounted home directories. Their home directory paths are pretty long (/Network/Servers/<fqdn of server>/Volumes/Homes/<user name>) because I'm using a Mac OS X Server for my NFS sharing and that's the convention for home directory auto mount paths.
Another clue is that I'm seeing these types of errors in my syslog: [pulseaudio] module-protocol-stub.c: Failed to remove stale UNIX socket '/Network/Servers/<fqdn of server>/Volumes/Homes/<user name>/.pulse/e735d8c8be6377c9aa3f7b4c000005f9-runtime/native': No such file or directory If I look in a user's .pulse directory (actually symlinked into a directory in /tmp) for the 'native' socket, the name's truncated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872992 Title: pulseaudio cannot start local D-Bus server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/872992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
