I found the root issue and a workaround. Pulseeffects package in Impish is of the same version as in Hirsute 4.8.4-1, so it cannot be the direct cause. But the issue is eliminated by downgrading the following four packages from their Impish version 0.40.0-1 to the Hirsute version 0.38.0-2:
dconf-gsettings-backend dconf-service dconf-cli libdconf1 So it seems that either newer DConf has a bug or PulseEffects should be updated to handle some interface changes in DConf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948882 Title: PulseEffects does not properly initialize on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/d-conf/+bug/1948882/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
