Hi Mark

Everything in your list of queries checks out EXCEPT the group of
/run/user/1000. This has owner and group as bob, instead of owner bob,
group root. This explains the pulseaudio error, but not how/why the
wrong group is assigned.

Please find attached a screenshot of the console session.


Kind Regards   Bob Bowles
