pavucontrol connection refused
 

Hi folks,

After many years of using pulseaudio, campcaster has now made it into the repos! Yeppee!

Ubuntu 10.10

But it seems to want alsa. So I ran

<code>
bash alsa-info.sh --stdout
</code>

all seems fine

<code>
johnh@tux:~$ bash alsa-info.sh --stdout

But when I run pavucontrol I get an error box,
Connection Failed : Connection Refused

Any ideas, folks, as I have waited for about a year and a half, to test campcaster, it would be nice to do so!

THanks in advance!

Is your dbus daemon running? If you boot with the noacpi option, that will prevent many services from running.

Try "pactl stat" to verify that the pulse audio daemon is running.

Yep, I reinstalled pulse

I now have no sound in my preferences menu
