Description Harald Reindl 2011-10-09 14:34:26 UTC
currently pulseuadio is flooding my syslog even long after all processes are stopped - it is whining about missing permissions running systemwide with the systemd-unit below 

pulseaudio-0.9.22-5.fc15.x86_64

* why is it trying something which needs root-permissions 
* why is it generally flooding the log
* why is it not quite with --log-level=0
* where are coming all this messages after stopped pulsed long ago?

Comment 1 Harald Reindl 2011-10-09 14:43:01 UTC
additional info:

it is not pulsed himself, it must be a client-library triggered by kde-kmix
KDE4.7.2 from Rex Dieters repos, but this is not new, i had this some months ago but it did stop as it came

now i only found out that it is kmix because i heard my RAID10 working and looked in "htop" who has this hughe disk-io what was kmix

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:58:42 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
