I ran into a bug that has since been fixed. Looks like your userID is not a member of the audio group. That can be fixed by logging in (or su-ing) as root, issuing the command gpasswd -a userID audio (where userID is the regular user's account) logging off the regular userID and then logging back in. 2) Are you familiar with PAM? (That will determine how we proceed to solve your problem, if it's what I think it is). Well, it depends on how familiar you mean. ;-) I know what it is. I'm relatively comfortable with configuring it, but I haven't changed anything from the default, with the exception of pam_cracklib. If someone has never heard of PAM, and runs into it head-on, it can be rather dis-concerting. If you're comfortable with configuring it, keep using it by all means. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Audio and permissions.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I'm sure this question has probably been asked before. So a pointer to an archive of this list will suffice (I don't know where one is). Anyhow, I only get sound as root. Meaning, I've compiled the modules, and configured the kernel for my equipment, and everything seems to work, as root. I figure this has to be a permissions thing, but I'm kind of at a loss as to where I need to give my user account access (if that is indeed what needs to happen). Any ideas or pointers would be great! If you need any info, please ask. Thanks. - -- gentux echo hfouvyAdpy/ofu | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDImctLYGSSmmWCZMRAiLFAKDDXoplPc63/qhD9bxvChqcrlnfRQCfYykO VXVL8ngTHj9sx7lr6nu07sg= =KEX+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
