After reading the forums I found people having issues with Mumble crashing and hanging. My problem is different, if I run Mumble normally (as a regular user), I cannot connect to a server I have previously verified on. Whenever I do, I get certificate errors, where even if I accept the certificate anyway, Mumble warns me in an infinite loop.

After this, I found the list of servers was not persistent, and favourite servers were not saved. This made me think it was a user config problem. I ran mumble as root (experimenting) and the problem went completely. So to have mumble functioning properly, I either have to run as root or re-install mumble totally (remove, purge, clean) for it to work once.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried creating a new user and trying it with that user? I know you said it works as root but I mean a new user with user-level permissions. Also, have you tried purging your mumble settings? The directory containing user settings is under ~/.config/Mumble

I'm just throwing ideas out, I'm not sure how helpful they'll be but do post back if it works.

I've created a new user called 'mumble' using adduser, when logging a shell into the user and running mumble, I get many permission errors (e.g. PulseAudio server etc.). But, if I do this then mumble works fine and stores settings etc:

(add new user 'mumble')

su mumble //login-as mumble, enter password
sudo mumble //gives elevated priveleges if mumble requires them

This is working so far, I'll fix the permissions so the user 'mumble' can run mumble without sudo; at the weekend when these exams are gone.

P.S. I tried clearing every morsel of mumble (and ALL it's dependencies) doing an apt-get remove/clean/purge, and looking for any .config files remaining and no luck. This new user idea did work however.

I'm glad that creating a new user is getting you on the right path. It's rather odd that you're having the problem with your original user even after clearing all settings and config files from your Mumble install.

Doesn't seem like I'm usally much help to anyone on the forums so I'm glad to see that this is helpful to you.
