You are not logged in.
I am having trouble getting pulseaudio to start using a different user. The user "corey" can run pulse just fine. After logging out and logging in on user "tv", running pulseaudio --start returns this error message:
E [autospawn] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Operation not permitted
W [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
E [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock
So it seems this user does not have permission? I can't imagine why, both corey and tv are in the audio group and both had active consolekit sessions at the time.
I don't know if this is relative information but I'll throw it out there anyway. I have a multiseat configuration with 2 seats, 1 at my desktop the other for my tv however for right now I am just logging into the display at my desktop. I followed most of the relative information about pulseaudio and multiseat from this page on the gentoo wiki (including editing the config files Xstartup and Xreset): here
consolekit though seems to be acting wierd, right now ck-list-sessions produces this:
Session3:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = 'Corey Teetor'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-17T06:19:44.835923Z'
login-session-id = '4294967295'
Session1:
unix-user = '1001'
realname = 'The Television'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-17T06:13:33.618814Z'
login-session-id = '1'
it says that the session for corey is not active even though i am logged in right now and pulse is running. I am a bit confused...please share your wisdom with me!
