Description Victor Mataré 2010-01-02 16:07:39 UTC

after upgrading to gdbm-1.8.3-r4:
Jan  2 16:30:39 pentium-m-test pulseaudio[22206]: module-device-restore.c: Failed to open volume database '/home/matare/.pulse/866956fe5267412a51f6fa544a19b790-device-volumes': Invalid argument
Jan  2 16:30:39 pentium-m-test pulseaudio[22206]: module.c: Failed to load  module "module-device-restore" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
Jan  2 16:30:39 pentium-m-test pulseaudio[22206]: main.c: Module load failed.
Jan  2 16:30:39 pentium-m-test pulseaudio[22206]: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
Jan  2 16:30:39 pentium-m-test pulseaudio[22204]: main.c: Daemon startup failed.

Downgrading to gdbm-1.8.3-r3 fixes it.

Reproducible: Always

You can also delete your pulseaudio gdbm files,
but you're going to loose your pulseaudio volume settings
(among other).

Probably enforcing LARGEFILE_SOURCE is responsible for this.

I  wonder how many other apps silently fail in this case.

Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2010-01-03 18:23:11 UTC

Well, and here's bug 299390.
Who's next ?
Is there a tool that could dump the content of old files
and import them later ?
