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-console-kit.c: GetSessionsForUnixUser() call failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files
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?

Have you checked whether the dbus and consolekit services are started?
Code: |
localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/dbus status
* status: started
localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/consolekit status
* status: started

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