Can you also attach your ~/.xsession-errors from a fresh login?
Created attachment 500462 [details] .xsession-errors I use system-wide pulseaudio daemon, and system-wide mpd. I do not want to start per user pulseaudio daemon.
Can you see from pstree or the like what exactly is launching it? I don't see anything hard coded to do so in Xfce off hand. ;(
Created attachment 500521 [details] pstree output Who started a per user pulseaudio daemon? Who's a gconf-helper? But gconf-helper a pulseaudio's child process. Workaround: my autostart script send a SIGTERM to per user pulseaudio daemon: killall -u "$USER" -q -e pulseaudio
You could try replacing pulseaudio with a script that logs what called it... If you disable the 'start gnome services' checkbox does it stop trying to start pulse?
Hm... I disabled both "Launch GNOME services on startup" and "Launch KDE services on startup". Per user pulseaudio daemon don't sarted. If I enabled only "Launch KDE services on startup", per user pulseaudio damon started. Where I try disabling pulseaudio daemon start in KDE?
Try running 'systemsettings' and tell kde not to start pulse on startup.
OK. I see three menu: Autostart, Service manager, Session management. In Autostart, on Desktop file, I see my autostart script, and Script file is empty. I Service manager, I see two field. In Load-on-demand services, I see Password Cacching, Network proxy configuration, Hardware detection, Display management, Favicons, Sound policy, Directory watcher, KDED subversion module, Network watcher, SSL sertificate policy, Konqueror browser preloader, Cookie jar. In Startup services field I see DNS-SD service discovery monitor, Power management, Time zone, Status notifier manager, KPackageKit service, Drive ejector, ObexFTP, K remote control daemon, Input actions, Network status, KMixD, Display management change monitor, Write daemon, BlueDevil, Free space notifier, Keyboard daemon, Removable device automounter, Remote URL change notifier, Nepomuk search module. I don't see, where I turn off pulseaudio autostart.
Do you have a: /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop file? if you move that out of the way does it fix things?
Thank you, this solved my problem! :)
I don't know how to disable that more cleanly in kde. Perhaps you could ask a kde support channel/mailing list. Should we close this report now?
Yes, please. Thanks.
