2009-02-17 22:50:32 Duncan Hawthorne description Binary package hint: pulseaudio I have my home directory on an ntfs drive. fstab line for the ntfs drive is UUID=DA103AC5103AA901 /windows ntfs defaults,umask=022,uid=1001,gid=1001 0 1 Log in as user 1001 Login screen disappears, goes to ubuntu browse background, and just waits. Can still move mouse, but no visual progress on screen (waited several times more than one minute). Then run $ killall pulseaudio from tty or from ssh from another computer, and then gnome loads, the panel appears, and everything (except for pulseaudio) works fine Note that uninstalling pulseaudio (and everything related) lets me log in fine Note that having my home directory on an ext3 drive works fine (sound works properly from pulseaudio too). I also used an empty home folder for testing. This kind of setup previously worked. On ubuntu hardy and intrepid, pulseaudio performed fine on a home directory on an ntfs drive. Does not work on jaunty The .xsessions-errors give the following information about pulseaudio I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.

This can hang the login process. DEVELOPMENT: A later upstream release included a patch to give up and fail to start if pulseaudio is unable to write its state into ~/.pulse, instead of spinning. PATCH: Attached at <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35285914/pulseaudio_0.9.14-0ubuntu20.3.debdiff> (test builds are in <https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests>). This simply backports the upstream fix to the release in Jaunty. INSTRUCTIONS: chmod/chown ~/.pulse to root/root 700, then attempt to login. REGRESSION: This patch is from upstream, and has been tested in later releases of both PA and Ubuntu. ============ Original bug description: I have my home directory on an ntfs drive. fstab line for the ntfs drive is UUID=DA103AC5103AA901 /windows ntfs defaults,umask=022,uid=1001,gid=1001 0 1 Log in as user 1001 Login screen disappears, goes to ubuntu brown background, and just waits.
