Hi everyone
I'm currently working on Ubuntu integration of Rivendell, which means
dealing with systemd, pulseaudio and so on...
In order to make caed use pulse alsa plugin, or even jackd, one solution
is to log in as root, which is evil.
The other solution would be to run caed as the logged in user. This is
due to the fact that pulseaudio and jackd daemons are (normally) only
accessible by the same user as the one that launched them. This is what
I tried with this procedure :
---8<---
sudo systemctl edit rivendell
[Service]
User=radio
--->8---
then I start Rivendell with `systemctl start rivendell.service`, which
usually succeed mostly. But caed and/or rdcatchd crash.
I have core dumps but not analyzed it yet. No evidence could be found in
logs. I'll try to dig deeper and let you know if I can find something
but I'm interested in your feedback if you can reproduce it on another
system (centos for instance...).
As far as you know, is there something in rdservice and its children
which definitely need root rights (shared memory or something like this) ?
Or maybe it could be possible to run rdservice as root, and it could
launch caed as another user ? I think this was done for pypad components
at a certain time (this has been rollbacked IIRC)
Thanks for your feedback
Best Regards
Florent
