Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-desktop (Team) <desktop@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 273605: audio/pulseaudio: Daemon startup failed in system-wide mode https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D273605 --- Description --- Description: I have written a small rc script to run pulseaudio in system-wide mode using the following parameters (see Output). After upgrading pulseaudio a few wee= ks ago I noticed that pulseaudio cannot be started again in system-wide mode. I didn't have time at that time to test some things to get more information s= o I haven't reported it until today. Note: I know that running pulseaudio in system-wide mode is not recommended except in some cases. Output: ``` # pulseaudio -D --system --disallow-module-loading --disallow-exit N: [(null)] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode. N: [(null)] main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle ti= me. E: [(null)] main.c: Daemon startup failed. # tail -3 /var/log/messages Sep 6 14:57:17 dtxdf-test pulseaudio[19404]: [(null)] main.c: Home directo= ry of user 'pulse' is not '/var/local/run/pulse', ignoring. Sep 6 14:57:17 dtxdf-test pulseaudio[19404]: [(null)] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support. Sep 6 14:57:17 dtxdf-test pulseaudio[19404]: [(null)] core-util.c: Failed = to create secure directory (/var/local/lib/pulse): Permission denied ```
