You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I'm using 10.04. This happens in both i686 and x86_64 variants. Currently I am using the x86_64 one. Sometimes, after a normal boot (I can't see any error messages) my sound card will not work (aplay reports no sound cards). A simple reboot usually fixes it. The weird thing is that every single time this happens it is accompanied by other weird stuff such as: -> Gnome's shutdown applet (not the one with the session indicator), the one which displays a form with one option under the other for shutdown, logout, suspend etc gets grayed out and can't be pressed. -> The computer can't be shut down or restarted either from the initial login screen or the Indicator applet session. The option to shutdown or restart is there, but it will either way drop back to the login screen. Also, it is missing the suspend and hibernate options. -> In the users administration form, the add user and advanced buttons won't work. I click them and nothing happens. Also, the Account type's change button and the change button next to my user name won't work, either. When I start users-admin from a terminal I see this upon startup: (users-admin:12050): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating asynchronously with the backends: Malformed message was sent -> USB and CD/DVDs cannot be mounted by gnome and a "Not Authorized" message is displayed every time I plug one in. This thing clearly is not pulseaudio's fault but I have filed it here because it is the most obvious problem and maybe the developers can point to the source of the problem ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.33-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
