[Solved}pulseaudio: Daemon startup failed.

[troglodytus]

I'm trying to run pavucontrol but when i try to do so it says the pulseaudio server hasn't started
when i try to run pulseaudio --start i get this

E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.


When i try to run pulseaudio without any parameters i get this
pulseaudio
W: [pulseaudio] module.c: module-combine is deprecated: Please use module-combine-sink instead of module-combine!
W: [pulseaudio] module-combine.c: We will now load module-combine-sink. Please make sure to remove module-combine from your configuration.

E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-console-kit" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

is there anything i can do to get the daemon started?

It seems that the problem is here:

followed your instructions and found out consolekit wasn't installed on the machine. After doing that pulse audio starts up fine
