Using Fedora 31, this has been happening for quite a while. After reboot /var/run/clamav is removed, which is expected. However, wehn ClamAV was installed the user created in /etc/passwd looks like this: clamav:x:985:981::/var/run/clamav:/sbin/nologin
So Pulseaudio tries to create the following directories/files: Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser pulseaudio[1392074]: E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory (/var/run/clamav/.config/pulse): No such file or directory Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser systemd[1392030]: pulseaudio.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser systemd[1392030]: pulseaudio.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser systemd[1392030]: Failed to start Sound Service. Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser systemd[1392030]: pulseaudio.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 2. Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser systemd[1392030]: Stopped Sound Service. Aug 5 10:14:02 myuser systemd[1392030]: Starting Sound Service... So a work-around I've found <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1312035#c2> is to update /lib/systemd/system/clamd.service with: ExecStartPre = /usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/clamav ExecStartPre = /usr/bin/chown -R clamav.clamav /var/run/clamav Is this a known issue?
