Description:
After an update roughly 2 days ago, pulseaudio stopped working. This happens quite often anyway, but this time there is a more serious problem: All applications that may have anything in common with sound simply freeze. Killing pulseaudio with -9 "unfreezes" them for a while -- until pulseaudio gets respawned. Additional info: * package version(s) rtkit 0.11-1 pulseaudio 2.1-1 * config and/or log files etc. I don't know how to get logs from pulseaudio (if it produces any). This issue may be related to a failure of the rtkit daemon, which appears in the journal like this: Nov 23 21:44:47 octopus systemd[1]: Starting RealtimeKit Scheduling Policy Service... Nov 23 21:44:47 octopus systemd[24204]: Failed at step NETWORK spawning /usr/lib/rtkit/rtkit-daemon: Invalid argument Nov 23 21:44:47 octopus systemd[1]: rtkit-daemon.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=225/NETWORK Nov 23 21:44:47 octopus systemd[1]: Failed to start RealtimeKit Scheduling Policy Service. Nov 23 21:44:47 octopus systemd[1]: Unit rtkit-daemon.service entered failed state Steps to reproduce: Try to use pulseaudio and KDE. Workaround steps: 1) # chmod -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio 2) # killall -9 pulseaudio 3) # /usr/lib/rtkit/rtkit-daemon & #Surprisingly, this does *not* fail! 4) $ start-pulseaudio-x11 5) And now it works... |

And check that the symlink from /var/run to /run is in place, or else most desktop components start crashing inexplicably, although booting and basic system services will seem to work fine.
