In Mandriva 2008.1 Beta 1 ONE KDE I lost sound yesterday. I think I've traced problem to this: *Code:* $ alsamixer *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused $ pulseaudio E: main.c: Failed to create '/tmp/pulse-ben': Operation not permitted process 7359: dbus_shutdown() called but connections were still live. This probably means the application did not drop all its references to bus connections. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted $ pulseaudio --check process 7369: dbus_shutdown() called but connections were still live. This probably means the application did not drop all its references to bus connections. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted How to fix this? I had sound. I did nothing to sound, no reason to. I lost sound possibly as a result of some update? I think problem is that for some reason pulseaudio isn't connecting but how do I fix that? Please let me know if any other info is needed. -- Sincerely, Ben Popatopalous -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
