[pulseaudio] daemon-conf.c: Failed to open configuration file:

I'm having a strange issue, running leafpad from the terminal brings up an permission denied issue in pulseaudio.

$ leafpad note.txt
W: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file '/home/user/.config/pulse//daemon.conf': Permission denied
W: [pulseaudio] daemon-conf.c: Failed to open configuration file: Permission denied

A quick internet search recommends chowning ~/.config/pulse, which fixes the issue temporarily.
How can I determine the underlying issue and permanently stop it from happening?

Which application(s) are you running as root?


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
