Automating collection of verbose PulseAudio daemon logs

 

Hi, all,

As the release of 10.04 LTS looms imminent, we should rework how we
ask for the collection of verbose PA logs used in troubleshooting. The
manual process currently outlined at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log has served its purpose.
Nowadays we should extend the apport hook in the pulseaudio source
package to do the procedure for us. (This e-mail is mostly a
braindump, as coding it at this hour isn't a good idea.)

pacmd set-log-level 4
<request that user perform steps to reproduce symptom>
grep pulseaudio\\[ /var/log/user.log > ~/verbose.log
<add ~/verbose.log to bug report>
pacmd set-log-level 2
