pornview runs as root, but segfaults as user

Hi,

so I can run pornview as root. When I run it as user, it segfaults

Code:

xine_thread: init threads

xine_thread: open display

gtkxine: auto-detecting video driver...

Segmentation fault

please, no responses telling me about a different application.

probably a permissions error. Make sure that your user session has all the read and write permissions it needs to run xine.

user has all of the needed privelages I believe. Here's my /etc/group:

Code:

root::0:root

bin::1:root,bin,daemon

daemon::2:root,bin,daemon

sys::3:root,bin,adm

adm::4:root,adm,daemon

what do you think?

I'd suggest that you run xine via strace ...

strace -o outfile xine

and then look at what it's trying to access when it dies.

Cheers,
