I've looked everywhere, but I'm still confused, so I will ask here. I am trying to access my NTFS-D file as a non root user, but I get permission denied, and I don't know exactly how to set it up for non users to read that file.
Also, I'm tired of runninng XMMS as root all the time, because I get permission error when I try to use the ALSA driver instead of OSS , how do I fix these two problems?
Try doing a google search to see what mount options there are for /etc/fstab for ntfs volumes. I think you need a specific umask in the mount options string.
As for the ALSA problem, try doing "chmod a+rw /dev/adsp* /dev/amidi* /dev/amixer* /dev/snd/*"
This is evil so, if things work, then isolate which devices it affected at set the permissions for the rest back to what they were.
