Thumbs down Clear /tmp and you lose all audio

So, with this new pulseaudio setup, apparently if you clear the /tmp directory - you will lose audio until the next reboot...

Code:
root@slackmachine:/home/slackuser/packages/basiliskII# cd /tmp
root@slackmachine:/tmp# ls
SBo		   mozilla_slackuser0		qtsingleapp-homesl-b2ec-3e8-lockfile  ssh-TvKgvjGRawZv
kde-slackuser	   pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n		skype-2091
ksocket-slackuser  qtsingleapp-homesl-b2ec-3e8	skype-4.3.0.37-i486-1_SBo.tgz
root@slackmachine:/tmp#rm -rfv *

Now I lose all sound, and this is the result when trying to run alsamixer:
Code:
slackuser@slackmachine:/tmp$ alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

cannot open mixer: Connection refused
slackuser@slackmachine:/tmp$
Kinda dumb, so I guess is there any way to have pulseaudio just make the relevant folders in /home instead?

Did you try to run ' pulseaudio ' (as regular user)?

Sure, this is the output:

Code:
slackuser@slackmachine:~$ pulseaudio

So rebooted and sound works, but again this is dumb. I would rather have pulseaudio just place all files in my home folder. Not a very smart move to place this files in /tmp when you need to clear it out every once in a while.

What application clutters /tmp so much you have to explicitly clear it?

I have machines which have been running continuously for years and have never had /tmp cleared.

No single application, just only when I am building packages I kinda want to clear everything all it at one point in time.

Nope.
Code:
slackuser@slackmachine:~$ pulseaudio --start
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {d26091869fdb810b5051f6e75786bdb6}unix:/tmp/pulse-D1DTkoKP5P0t/native, refusing to start/autospawn.
slackuser@slackmachine:~$
Same as root:
Code:
root@slackmachine:/home/slackuser# pulseaudio -start
pulseaudio: invalid option -- 's'
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to parse command line.
root@slackmachine:/home/slackuser# pulseaudio --start

I always use /usr/src/ and I'm not ashamed to say it.
I sometime use
Code:
lsof +D /tmp
to see what's in use there before nuking stuff to audio orbit.
Say what?

Who cleans their /tmp?
Why not just
Code:
rm -fr /tmp/SBo/
insted of the nuclear option?

Did you accidentally change the permissions or ownership of /home/slackuser/.config?

Here's what worked for me:

As user:

Code:
$ mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse-old
$ mv ~/.pulse-cookie ~/.pulse-cookie-old
Then as root:

Code:
# pgrep pulse
1693
# kill 1693
# pgrep pulse
10234
Then as user:

Code:
$ pulseaudio --start -D

It is because you are removing a directory that is required by pulse. In your code it was listed as:
Code:
removed directory 'pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n'
I don't know why pulse creates or needs this directory, it creates two in my /tmp.

If you simply logout and back in after wiping out /tmp it will regenerate the required directory and you should have sound as usual. You shouldn't need to reboot.

From the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:

Quote:
3.18. /tmp : Temporary files
3.18.1. Purpose

The /tmp directory must be made available for programs that require temporary files.

Programs must not assume that any files or directories in /tmp are preserved between invocations of the program.
It's reasonable for programs to assume that files they write to /tmp won't be removed while they're running. It's not just PulseAudio that you'll break by doing this: sshd, mysqld, tmux and other daemons write domain sockets to /tmp and use them for IPC.

If you absolutely insist on wiping the contents of /tmp outside of rc.d scripts, at least check whether any running processes are using the files you're about to remove first. lsof(8) can help you with that.

You could add the following line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.6 file

Most of the code below is already there.. just add ( cd /var/log/setup/tmp && rm -rf * )

This will delete the contents of /tmp

The only problem that was mentioned in another thread regarding this is if you have created packages that you didn't install yet they will be deleted of course.

Code:
# Clean up some temporary files:
rm -f /var/run/* /var/run/*/* /var/run/*/*/* /etc/nologin \
  /etc/dhcpc/*.pid /etc/forcefsck /etc/fastboot \
  /var/state/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid \
  /tmp/.Xauth* 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
  ( cd /var/log/setup/tmp && rm -rf * )
  ( cd /tmp && rm -rf * .* 2>/dev/null )
