Thanks Daniel for the suggestion, I'll try it. The audio issue doesnt always happen and I can't spot exactly what the triggers are, this morning 3 sessions are all working fine.
any suggestion for what to do if it occurs again? 'kill all pulseaudio' doesnt help, neither does asking it to restart. I wonder if the bug is actually elsewhere, as the other issue i see is when plugging in a usb drive - another session will try to mount it, but fail to get access permission and a window pops up asking for admin login/pwd. that happens in the background session, the front session just shows a window saying failed to mount. Coincidence? Ive seen that bug before with ubuntu and mint going back to distros built on 16.04LTS, but still see it on occasion today. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814964 Title: No audio when logging in as second user.
