With my problem, I contacted zendesk support, from where I received an unsubscribe that
your phone contains some extra repositories (they should not be there):
– mentaljam-obs … http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.12_aarch64 /
– – sailfish os-com … https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.3.0.12_aarch64/and
WHAT TO DO NOW
We have just this advice for you at this point:
Install/flash OS release 4.3.0.12 to your phone.
There is no other way to fix it.
Then as I understand it, it was an isolated case.
I flashed the phone and haven’t used repositories since. But nothing changes from version to version and still the sounds of incoming calls, SMS, notifications disappear.
For myself, I solved the problem by screwing a script that checks pulseaudio.service every 15 minutes and, in case of a crash, restarts it with an entry in the log. I also created a separate simple script for manually restarting from applications – for those moments when I found a loss and waiting for the script to run on a timer does not make sense.
I’ll post the scripts below, maybe it will be useful to someone.
# manual script launch
On the path /home/default user/.local/share/applications/ create the pulseaudio_script.desktop script
With such content
[Desktop Entry]
Type=pulseaudio
Name=Run my script
Icon=/home/defaultuser/Templates/icon_my_script.png
Exec=fingerterm -e “/home/defaultuser/Templates/pulseaudio_script.sh”
Comment=Terminal application
X-Nemo-Single-Instance=no
It is needed to display icons (you can choose at your discretion) in applications and for execution. As you can see above, the icon and the script itself are located in /home/defaultuser/Templates/
You throw an icon there icon_my_script.php and create a script there pulseaudio_script.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo `systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service
echo `systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service`
echo `systemctl --user is-active pulseaudio.service` >>/home/defaultuser/Documents/hand_pulseaudio
# running the script on a schedule
In /home/defaultuser/.config/system/user/ create two scripts
check-pulseaudio.timer
[Unit]
Description=AUDIO Checker timer
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*:0,15,30,45
Persistent=true
WakeSystem=false
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
check-pulseaudio.service
[Unit]
Description=AUDIO Checker
After=lipstick.service
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/defaultuser/Templates/pulseaudio.sh
On the path /home/default user/Templates create pulseaudio.sh
#!/bin/bash
if (systemctl --user is-active --quiet pulseaudio.service); then
echo "work"
else
date >> /home/defaultuser/Documents/pulseaudio
echo `systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service`
echo `systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service`
systemctl --user is-active pulseaudio.service >> /home/defaultuser/Documents/pulseaudio
fi
make it executable: chmod +x pulseaudio.sh
That’s almost all, it remains only to turn it on and run:
systemctl --user enable check-pulseaudio.timer
systemctl --user start check-pulseaudio.timer
I’m not a developer, I did what I could and it works for me. For several months now, I have not been worried if the sound suddenly disappears again.
Perhaps there are other solutions.
