I confirm this bug and I have experienced this bug several times too. I cannot determine why this happens. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy fully updated, on my Lenovo Thinkpad R61i, with the x86 architecture.
When this happens on my notebook, I decided this problem killing the pulseaudio with this command: $sudo killall -9 pulseaudio Keep attention if there is another application that uses it too. Sometime ago, I needed to kill pulseaudio and I forgot that the pidgin was running too... 100% of CPU use and a huge memory leak... Thanks. -- Pulseaudio stalls and prevents other applications from starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
