@alberto: so audio is considered to be non-essential in a consumer computer??? I could see that being the case for servers, but computers with gui interfaces ought to consider audio to be essential to that experience, see for instance PC-98 spec.
I did eventually find a work-around for this problem. After I login, if I restart Pulse Audio then it works.... So this is likely to be either a race condition or a permissions problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292438 Title: Can't connect to PulseAudio server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1292438/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
