bind source path does not exist: /pulse/native

[bcnx]

Hi,

I am testing this on Linux Mint 20.3. When running ./resolve.sh, I get:

docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /pulse/native

resolve.sh contains:

--mount type=bind,source=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native,target=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native \

so I guess the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable is not filled in . How to fix this?

Cheers

This is how a temporarely fixed it: I edited resolve.conf and replaced ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR} with /run/user/1000 (I'm using my first user which has an ID of 1000), and then resolve.sh seems to start the container,

Yes in Ubuntu 21.10 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to /run/usr/1000 -- I thought this was the correct way to set it so that it will work for any UID. This seems to be the FreeDesktop standard. Do you happen to know if it's set to something else in Mint? If so, it could detect which linux it's using-- or maybe the solution is simply to set it to

    /run/usr/`id -u` 

You have any thoughts on this?

BTW thanks for sending these issues!

Ah, I see there is a bug filed for Mint related to this. Looks like a check for mint would be the solution. Is this something you feel comfortable doing? I think a good way to check might be to look at /etc/os-release. I think this is beter than lsb_release -d as CentOS for example doesn't support it by default.

I think adding something like this would work. Let me know, and if so, I can add it.

 if [ -z ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR+x} ]; then export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u`; fi

Thanks in advance!

Well, I figured I'd add it. Closing.
