Not really; as I said, the PA documentation clearly says that if you |
| 49 |
use system mode "You are on your own. You need to know you way around, |
| 50 |
be able to write init scripts, dbus policies, to fix up device |
| 51 |
permissions, and unix users, you need to pass around security cookies |
| 52 |
and more." |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I haven't ever used system-wide PA. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I think of the following; try to delete both /root/.pulse and |
| 57 |
$HOME/.pulse, and rebooting (probably a logout/login should suffice, |
| 58 |
but you never know). |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Another thing: if you installed PA since GNOME 3.8 needs it, why are |
| 61 |
you using it without GNOME? If you use GNOME, the session manager will |
| 62 |
automatically start PA as a user for you, and everything should work. |
| 63 |
If you are not running GNOME, why do you run PA? If you are at the |
| 64 |
console without X running, just don't use PA. Use mplayer -ao alsa or |
| 65 |
whatever. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Or do you want to run several audio apps in the console? |
| 68 |
