==========
|
||
|
||
## server shutting down when used with a WM
|
||
|
||
If you are not running a fully fledged DE you might have trouble
|
||
with pulseaudio shutting down after being idle for a while. You can
|
||
work around this by starting pulseaudio like this:
|
||
|
||
~/.xinitrc
|
||
#!/bin/bash
|
||
pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1 --log-target=syslog &
|
||
exec /usr/bin/myawesomewm
|
||
|
||
## system mode
|
||
|
||
See [What is wrong with system mode? – PulseAudio](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/)
|
||
for more information.
|
||
|
||
This was previously a pre-install script:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
#!/bin/sh
|
||
|
||
# check for pulseaudio group or add one
|
||
getent group pulse || /usr/sbin/groupadd pulse
|
||
getent group pulse-access || /usr/sbin/groupadd pulse-access
|
||
|
||
# check for pulseaudio user or add one
|
||
getent passwd pulse || /usr/sbin/useradd -g pulse -d /var/lib/pulse -s /bin/false -c "Pulseaudio User" pulse
|
||
|
||
# lock the account
|
||
/usr/bin/passwd -l pulse
|
||
```
