The 25 second delay is a standard dbus timeout. I assume you're talking about:
Mar 10 11:30:25 username-MBB-44608 pulseaudio[1308]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. Mar 10 11:30:49 username-MBB-44608 pulseaudio[1150]: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) It sounds like maybe your system is launching too many instances of pulseaudio. The first works and the second fails. I'm not sure how Xubuntu differs in this respect but I don't think we see the same bug in standard Ubuntu. ** Summary changed: - Failed to activate service + Xubuntu: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) ** Also affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754836 Title: Xubuntu: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Xubuntu seeing long first time boot to desktop from login.
