Up to now, there were no problems regarding the sound. I activated an Login Animation in Compiz, btw (whatever that changed, I did not see anything yet)

That is a 27 page thread. Could you please point to the post, or at least the page in which the helpful information is located?

I've only taken a cursory glance at it. Someone else directed me to it. I'd
have to assume that it's the first post. /shrug

Luke Yelavich (themuso) wrote : Re: [Bug 275233] Re: canberra-gtk-play crashed with SIGSEGV in pa_operation_unref()

This crash is caused by what is known as a race condition, where canberra-gtk-play plays a sound, and pulseaudio is either not ready, or not running. If the sound plays, then pulseaudio is not always able to make use of the audio device, or, you get the crash as reported here.

I have a work-around to attempt to prevent this crash from occurring, so please test and report back by following the below steps:

1. Move /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop out of the way, i.e so it doesn't exist in that directory.
2. Place the attached 70pulseaudio file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d.
3. Place the attached pulse-session file into /usr/bin, and chmod it 755.

Then log in again, and let me know the results.

Thanks.

Hi,

I will try this out shortly.

I am trying to attach console-kit-daemon pid to gdb and trigger this crash:

This is reproducible:

compiz | pulseaudio
compiz | sudo compiz

see Bug #145360 and Bug #284699.
