[SOLVED] pulseaudio stuck on init3

zhl · 10-11-2020, 06:31 AM

Hello, I'm use current without display manager (init3).
The pulseaudio freezing when exit X to tty1, it use 100% on one of cpu cores. "ps aux |grep pulse" shown as:

Code:

lhz      11821  2.1  0.3 312888 14696 ?        Rl   09:20  12:41 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

This status remains the same after "startx", and back to normal if play any audios.

I have to put "pulseaudio -k" to startup script of window manager.
I tried Porteus which is a minimal slackware environment, pulseaudio won't stuck with init3.

Any thing I can further？

Found an easy way to reproduce this problem:
add to .config/pulse/client.conf

Code:

autospawn = no

open xterm, run at front

Code:

pulseaudio

just close the xterm window.

IIRC, alsa works just fine on runlevel 3.

Trade-off solution.
It seems X11 is the 'vital' dependency, 'exec startx' instead.
