Hi,

sudo chmod -s caed ripcd rdcatchd

Is all you need as it removes the super user ID which makes the daemons always 
run as root regardless of what user called them.  

Theres a couple of things I'd change in that guide going forwards which 
simplify things a bit and as you both already pointed out pulse is easily 
skipped in that guide. Using Riv longer term, pulse is best avoided.  After 
some random updates I ended up with X lockups due to something that pulse was 
doing when it joined with JACK and youtube videos are hit and miss depending on 
your flash and browser combination so its not really a useful setup.  Soft 
phones like Skype and Ekiga were handy though (although theres bound to be 
something out there thats JACK aware).

Theres a guide for Debian 6 on the Rivendell wiki that I wrote after I had 
trouble getting GPIO to work on Ubuntu which does things the simpler way.  All 
of the steps including package names apply to Ubuntu as well (you don't need to 
add the mp3 repo as Ubuntu has that already).

The only thing that doesn't happen is the /var/run directory and to simplify 
that I'd just add a sudo mkdir /var/run/rivendell and the appropriate chmod to 
/etc/rc.local (seems a lot easier than the init script route).

I wrote it initially for Riv 2.1.1 but everything is the same in 2.1.5.

The only thing to watch out for is if you're installing under Ubuntu 11.10 or 
12.04 as you have to mess with the configure script to amend some QT bits.

I think I just need a good restart. All the files are already root:root 
and it was working right after the upgrade and before all my RD 
restarts. I'll give it a good reboot and tinker more if I need to.

  And I figured that was what you meant in the earlier email. :) 
Unfortunately I don't drink coffee, so I can't use that as my excuse. ;) 
....maybe I should start. :)

Yeah, I was going through Wayne's thing the other day. This system 
already has pulse disabled. I didn't want to mess with it, so I just 
gutted it out.

The only little sticky here right now is just the waveform data on the 
ogg files. It's not horrible, as they're all already marked for 
intro/segue, but should I need to change one any, I can't. Eventually, 
they'll all get converted to mp2 now that it's out of patent, but 
there's too many to do that to right now and I need to focus on loading 
the new stuff first. It just seems like it's not reading the .energy 
files on the ogg's, since the mp2's have the energy file in the .wav 
envelope not as a separate file. I'll have to keep playing some and see 
what I can figure out.

Thanks a lot for the help, Lorne! It definitely got me started again!

Tim
