Service fails on systemctl start. Status always "activating"

[karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Karl Stahl)]

Hi,

I'm trying to get pulseaudio running on a Raspberry Pi 3 (ARM).  I'm having trouble getting the service to start properly.  The status always says "activating", but never seems to finish.  Any ideas?


$ systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service
Job for pulseaudio.service failed. See 'systemctl status pulseaudio.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
