Created attachment 377425 [details] Sample from /var/log/messages Description of problem: Pulseaudio keeps restarting itself causing /var/log/messages to fill up steadily. Obviously I cannot play any sound and pavucontrol cannot connect to pulseaudio (shows a "busy" cursor). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.21-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Start a firefox or some other application which starts pulseaudio automatically. Next the pulseaudio needs to crash or to be killed manually. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run firefox or some other application which restarts pulseaudio automatically. 2. Wait for pulseaudio to crash or kill $(pidof pulseaudio) Actual results: /var/log/messages filling steadily. Eventually filling the while /var partition. Expected results: Pulseaudio restarting normally, sound working and pavucontrol able to adjust volume.
There seem to be a couple of issues here, for some reason the GetSessionsForUnixUser() call into consolekit times out. Reassigning to Consolekit.
I'm seeing the same issue under a freshly upgrade F13 machine (that was upgraded from F11 using a head-less preupgrade-cli --vnc). I have no sound and no uses in the GDM user list. Starting console-kit-daemon by hand using console-kit-daemon --debug --no-daemon seems to solves the problem. - Gilboa
Juha, I managed to locate and solve my problem. [1] Maybe it'll solve your problem as well. - Gilboa [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607715
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
