Permissions Problems
Hello!
After FINALLY getting kde3.3.1 working, I've encountered some unpleasent permission problems. First, xine will NOT run as a user. I have to run it as root, and then it opens and opperates properly. Also, when I run Unreal Tournament (Linux, not WINE) as a user, there is no sound. If I run as root, the sound works, but has a weid tempo problem 9which I probably unrealted to permissions). I would assume that this is an issue with /dev/dsp? Thanks! |
In a terminal, as root, ask linux which xine is the executable:
#which xine It'll probably say /usr/bin/xine. Then tell linux: #chmod 777 /usr/bin/xine That will make xine usable by any user. To learn how to change permissions, read chmod's manpage: #man chmod Hope that helps. |
Oh, I'm quite familiar with changing permissions. Xine and it's lib directories are both user readable (I doubt they'd have to be writable) but I still get this as an error as a user:
Code:
[boyer@boyers3 boyer]$ xine |
