The udev rule that beep installs requires you to be logged in on a virtual console. Please be referred to the documentation in /usr/share/doc/beep/PERMISSIONS.md.gz why this is so. What always works is using beep as root, regardless of how people are logged in, so I don't follow your call for that this is a grave bug - in fact it works as intended and isn't even a bug at all. I am starting to (re)implement a specific beep group to which people could be added on top of that. This requires a bit testing though, and will hit unstable and only be in the next release then. In the meantime you could add a corresponding udev rule for giving access to users of a specific group yourself while following the documentation in the PERMISSIONS file. Hope that helps, Rhonda -- Fühlst du dich mutlos, fass endlich Mut, los | Fühlst du dich hilflos, geh raus und hilf, los | Wir sind Helden Fühlst du dich machtlos, geh raus und mach, los | 23.55: Alles auf Anfang Fühlst du dich haltlos, such Halt und lass los |
