[SOLVED] Slackware-Current & PulseAudio

ndavilam · 10-26-2021, 12:03 PM

I just updated to the latest version of slackware-current, but I have noticed that pulseaudio is not working.
I have restarted the service with no good results.

syslog:

Oct 26 11:57:42 desktop-HdSb pulseaudio[1574]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
Oct 26 11:57:42 desktop-HdSb pulseaudio[1574]: [pulseaudio] cli-command.c: stat('/etc/pulse/default.pa.d'): No existe el fichero o el directorio

Oct 26 11:57:42 desktop-HdSb pulseaudio[1623]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.

when run pulseaudio from terminal:

W: [pulseaudio] cli-command.c: stat('/etc/pulse/default.pa.d'): No existe el fichero o el directorio
W: [pulseaudio] server-lookup.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
E: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

I hope you can help me, I thank you very much in advance.

by any chance, have you enabled ( chmod +x ) the rc.pulseaudio service ?

In /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio

Code:

# Please note:  this is not generally the best way to use PulseAudio!
# Normally pulseaudio will start automatically as-needed with an instance
# per audio user.  Unless you really need to use system mode you should leave
# this script non-executable.

pulseaudio is started by /etc/rc.d/rc.M

Code:

blackstar:~:# grep pulse /etc/rc.d/rc.M   
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio start

Code:

grep default.pa /etc/pulse/*          
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf:; default-script-file = /etc/pulse/default.pa
/etc/pulse/default.pa:### Allow including a default.pa.d directory, which if present, can be used
/etc/pulse/default.pa:.include /etc/pulse/default.pa.d

In /etc/pulse/default.pa

Code:

### Allow including a default.pa.d directory, which if present, can be used
### for additional configuration snippets.
.nofail
.include /etc/pulse/default.pa.d

sorry for that

cat /etc/pulse/default.pa

but, with all by default, you're not supposed to have problems (at least, that kind of problem)
so I guess you don't really have a "default" pulseaudio config

If it is very rare.
More than anything because I have not made changes, since I installed the "current" version it gave me that problem.
