Log Out & sound server
i've had debian 3.0 rev1 loaded on my computer for a few days now and seems to be working fine. with the exception of the sound server.
message: sound server informational message error while initializing the sound server device / dev/dsp cant be opened (permission denied) the sound server will continue,useing the null output device Is this a package that is not working or my sound card? and how to fix? i have only installed the basic packages including x server,sound server,file server,unix server web server,and c+ dos'nt look like i have any multimedia packages installed in menu: preferences/sound/ none of the packages seem to put out any audio 2nd Log Out If i log out from the kde desktop it takes me to a log in screen and dos'nt give me a option to shut down. If i turn off my comp.its an unclean mounting iIf I go to the root konsole and poweroff with -i or -f i loose all my preferences in kde. Log off HOW? Thanks Mark |
2. I've got no idea...
1. This is the normal message when a user doesn't have permissions to access the soundcard. There are a multitude of options on setting up permissions for access, and I prefer the one that seems most secure to me. First up: create a group called sound (as root): groupadd sound Add your user to that group: usermod -G sound (I believe, see man usermod for more info) And then own the device to that group: chown /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/audio root.sound And make sure group sound has permissions to use the device (I believe w and x are what they need, this is all from memory, my appologies if you have to tinker a bit ;) ): chmod 730 /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/audio And test. See if it works now. If not, you may have to tinker with the permissions a bit, it might be w and x, or if you aren't too concerned you could always: chmod 770 Instead ;) Cool |
