hmmm. I tried that, but no dice for me. pulse starts in a terminal, but nothing in my session sees a sound device still. for the one started in a terminal, it doesn't respond to kill signals, and needs to be kill -9d.
I suspect the "/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no" process is just grabbing the soundcard and so running the second one does nothing useful. running the X11 wrapper script errors out: $ start-pulseaudio-x11 Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused Given that pacmd explicitly complains about there being no daemon running, the fact that systemd is running pulseaudio with --daemonize=no is probably a bad thing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799007 Title: no sound after 18.10 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1799007/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
