I put this line pactl load-module module-x11-bell sample=x11-bell in my .xinitrc. It didn't work. The error messages about the socket are gone now, though. Now, the first error is this: Nov 26 15:07:27 lazarus pulseaudio[544]: E: [pulseaudio] x11wrap.c: XOpenDisplay() failed Nov 26 15:07:27 lazarus pulseaudio[544]: E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-x11-bell" (argument: "sample=x11-bell"): initialization failed. Nov 26 15:07:27 lazarus slim[438]: Failure: Module initialization failed I'm attaching the rest of the startup log.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
