I guess I was mistaken about commenting out "load-module module- bluetooth-policy" and "load-module module-bluetooth-discover", that did not solve the problem for me.
A successful workaround though was to "sudo rm /xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop" which stops gnome-session from trying to start start-pulseaudio-x11 (and block until it signals completion of startup, which takes about 30 seconds). Even without /xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop pulse is being spawned by something, as can be seen from "pgrep pulse", and I can play sounds fine. I am *not* recommending this as a general solution for everyone as I do not know what ramifications there might be to not having /xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop that I just might not have noticed. I assume that it is there for a reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1596344 Title: pulseaudio causes long login delay waiting for bluetooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1596344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
