The problem seems to be that puredata tries to read configuration files from HOME/, which are then not accessible and thus startup stops. What works is: sudo -u XX bash export HOME=/tmp puredata Sound devices are opened in both cases. System: Pd-0.45.4 ("") compiled 17:28:13 Dec 11 2013 Ubuntu 14.04 64bit * Linux x201 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:00:20 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Bug and patch was submitted to upstream, but nothing happened. http://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/1147/ Details ==== PD does not check during loading the configuration, if the configuration file can be opened (.config/puredata). If the file permissions do not allow to read the folder an exception is thrown, but not catched/reported by PD - and since the UI thread fails the UI is not loaded properly then.
