Description Ian Pilcher 2016-03-25 18:41:09 UTC

When logging out of a MATE session, the user pulseaudio process is not terminated.

For example:

[pilcher@ian ~]$ who
pilcher  pts/2        2016-03-25 11:29 (172.31.250.5)
[pilcher@ian ~]$ ps aux | grep pulse
pilcher    313  0.0  0.0 562044 12556 ?        S<l  11:27   0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

I can't reproduce this with f23.
If i logged out from mate-session and i see the login from lightdm (default for Mate), i see any process of pulsaudio in console if using 'ps aux | grep pulse'.
Do you use gdm as display manager?

I use lightdm (with the lightdm-kde greeter).

I haven't been able to figure out how mate-session starts pulseaudio or how it's supposed to terminate it, so I haven't been able to make any progress on debugging this.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

pulseaudio-module-x11 itself starts pulse via session management, of course.
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop , what you see in autostart (mate-session-properties)
You can disable this entry + killing pulse, After a re-login pulse shouldn't start.

Haven't seen this in a while.  Closing.
