Audio breaks with a simple logout/in. - kdemeoz - 5th November 2016
<<kdemeoz 6 Nov 2016: The following was originally part of another thread, "KWallet breaks with a simple logout/in", but was retrospectively separated into this logically parallel thread. The common link however was that both symptoms manifested from doing a logout/in>>
Several times that much but not all of the times i logout/in, the Audio Volume widget/applet also breaks. Well, it happened again. Hence how to stop Audio Volume breaking with logout/in, OR to find a way i can stop & restart it whenever it does break. Any ideas pls?
Also since logout/in, plasmashell has been unreliable / unstable. It's crashed several times, necessitating a quick "Plasma5_kill_&_restart.sh" to recover. Sad.
Code:
!#/bin/bash
killall plasmashell
kwin --replace
kstart plasmashell &RE: KWallet breaks with a simple logout/in. - kdemeoz - 5th November 2016
Oh yay. I've now solved, or more like worked around, my "Bad news 1". Another simple bash script ["PulseAudio_kill_&_restart.sh"] did it:
Code:
!#/bin/bash
killall pulseaudio
kstart pulseaudio &Obviously i'd prefer not to have to need this, but given the unfortunate reality, this workaround is acceptable. Consequently, i'm now marking this topic as Solved. Thank you to all who kindly helped me.

The pulseaudio issue should be fixed with Plasma 5.8.3 reading it's changelog.
Though as we cannot reproduce the issue here you'll have to wait until it is tested here fully until it will land in backports so you can try it out.

Cool, thanks, that sounds fine... & from my perspective there's no rush, as i now have my acceptable workaround for audio, & wallet is finally good. Yay.
