    Cannot launch Pulse Audio Volume Control

    Whenever I attempt to launch pavucontrol I get a brief flash of the window that immediately disappears.

    When launched from cli ....
    Code:
    rodger@Bodhisattva:~$ pavucontrol
    E: shm.c: shm_open() failed: No such file or directory
    E: memblock.c: Assertion 'b' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:438, function pa_memblock_acquire(). Aborting.
    Aborted
    Any ideas?

    Ok, no answers yet but I have found, it is related to Firefox. Pulse Volume Control works fine until I run firefox.

    idk what shm is but maybe you can try installing these packages?

    libxcb-shm0
    libmpich-shmem1.0gf

    Re: Cannot launch Pulse Audio Volume Control

    libxcb-shm0 is already installed.

    libmpich-shmem1.0gf is not installed but, I doubt it has anything to do with this problem.

    I can confirm that there is some kind of conflict with Firefox. If Pulse Volume Control is open and Firefox is launched, PVC will crash. PVC cannot then be successfully launched until after logoff. This does not happen when using Opera which, I believe, uses the same plugins as Firefox.

    I have upgraded to Firefox-3.5 with no improvement.

    P.S. Thanks for your reply. It didn't resolve the problem but, at least someone is trying.
