I have the same issue. When I have pavucontrol running for too long, it will crash PA. Too long is after about 20-30 seconds.
I don't know since when it exactly happened, but I do know that it didn't crash in previous Ubuntu builds. I know for sure that in 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu14, it didn't happen. That was the version I ran from the Jaunty development repo on my Intrepid install (which I still have on a different drive). This bug is also triggered when using VirtualBox with PulseAudio selected for Host driver. This is the message I got on the terminal: Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating. E: cpulimit.c: Received request to terminate due to CPU overload. It crashes without doing anything. Just having pavucontrol open, or start a VM, it just kills PA. Strangely, the version I installed in a VM has 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20.1, which would indicate is newer than the one reported here. But it was installed before Jaunty was final, so how come? The packages were still saved in /var/cache/apt/archives, and checking their date with ls -l, I see that the .20 build was released on April 9, while the .20.1 build was released on April 27. Another check on the releases, shows that .20.1, which seems to have a fix for this, is in the -proposed repo. I will update to the proposed release and report back if it's fixed there. -- Pulseaudio crashes with pavucontrol https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
