Title: Pulesaudio/Pavucontrol not working
Post by: ordep on March 05, 2016, 01:47:58 AM

Loaded Puseaudio and Pavucontrol

Code: [Select]

~$ pulseaudio
W: [pulseaudio] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because this Pulseaudio was built without libcap support.
E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

Code: [Select]

~$ pavucontrol
W: [pulseaudio] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because this Pulseaudio was built without libcap support.

Can that be corrected?

It looks like you didn't start the dbus daemon?

dbus daemon is, has been started.

opening skype from terminal I get now this error that Pulseaudio was built without libcap support.
Meaning skype is looking for pulseaudio and pavucontrol to set sound.

The libcap error can be ignored, pulseaudio sound works without it.

I just tried with skype-4.3.0.37 and the test call worked - I was only able to select pulseaudio and not alsa.

So what could possibly be amiss in my box?

BTW the video is working.

pavucontrol will just not open due to error that Pulseaudio was built without libcap support.
Therefore I have no sound in skype.

BTW the video is working.

This works for me on 7.x x86:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i dbus pulseaudio qt-4.x-webkit skype
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
start-pulseaudio-x11
skype

As you mentioned (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,19701.msg122253.html#msg122253), using  qt-4.x-webkit.tcz  from 4.x repo (http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/qt-4.x-webkit.tcz) since not available in 7.x.

Your problem is here:

Code: [Select]

E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
..the dbus daemon is not running

Thanks Misalf & Juanito.

Did only

Code: [Select]

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
and skype got a sound after some adjustments in pavucontrol.

I put that "...dbus start" line into bootlocal.sh and on reboot skype came-up working :D

Always thought that dbus would start on its own when booting.
