Some help fixing errors in errors.log

Hi all,

I've been trying to fix some errors that constently show up in my errors.log file, but not having much luck. First, let me clarify that everything is working as expected and that I'm just trying to get these errors to go away for anal retentive reasons.

Here is the chuck of erros that keep showing up:

Sep  8 08:17:18 localhost dhcpcd[489]: wlan0: sendmsg: Cannot assign requested address
Sep  8 08:17:32 localhost pulseaudio[657]: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
Sep  8 08:17:54 localhost pulseaudio[778]: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
Sep  8 08:17:55 localhost pulseaudio[810]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.

Sir Google was not much help as all the errors I've found that were similar to mine did not seem to be relevant. I can connect to the internet just fine, no intermitent issues, no random disconnects, etc and my audio works perfectly on boot (not using virtualbox).

I tried editing my rc.conf file so that no deamons were backgrounded, thinking the systme might trying to start something before it was ready, but that did not solve anything.

Just for reference here is the rc.conf:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#
# See 'man 5 rc.conf' for more details
#

# LOCALIZATION
# ------------
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"

Any tips or suggestions are welcome.

Just an update:

I found this forum which helped me eliminate one of the errors I was getting.

Namely:

[pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.

It appears pulse audio is being started by systemd as well as gdm, so I removed the option from my gdm startup programs with:

gnome-session-properties

and removed the checkmark next to "Pulse Audio Soundsystem". Sound still works perfectly.

There was an option to disable Bluetooth as well, and since I don't have any bluetooth devices I removed that checkmark hoping I could kill two birds with one stone. No luck though.

Ok, eliminated the bluetooth errors by installing "bluez" and adding the bluetooth deamon to my rc.conf. It's not my perferred solution, but I could not figure out how to stop pulseaudio from attempting to find to a bluetooth device.

If anyone has any tips on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

So, now I'm just down to one error, the one dealing with dhcpcd.

Hi bws,

regarding your pulseaudio + bluetooth problem:
instead of starting the bluetooth daemon you could try this:

open /etc/pulse/default.pa
look for ### Automatically load driver modules for Bluetooth hardware
and comment out

#.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
#load-module module-bluetooth-discover
#.endif

Thank you katze! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Much better solution.
