There seems to be a bug when logging into enlightenment via entrance with
regard to console permissions for sound events.
In Fedora Core 4, there are some default permissions found in:
"/etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms". For sound events, the
appropriate device classes are given by:
<sound>=/dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/midi* \
/dev/mixer* /dev/sequencer \
/dev/sound/* /dev/beep \
/dev/snd/*
and the permission definitions are provided by:
<console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root
Therefore, when someone logs into a console, the user should take control
of the sound device classes and be able to read/write to them. For
example:
elijah: /dev> ls -l /dev/dsp
crw------- 1 kriehn root 14, 3 Aug 15 01:55 /dev/dsp
elijah: /dev>
However, when logging into X via E17, the permissions for sound are not
transferred, and root maintains control of all the sound classes, thereby
"disabling" sound. This can be avoided if a user first logs into a
console terminal (and stays logged in) before logging into X. The
permissions are then transferred correctly.
This sounds like it should be an easy fix, especially since other
permissions seem to be transferred correctly.
One other note -- I am running "gnome-panel" with the volume control
applet in E17 as well. Perhaps there is some gnome-e17 infighting going
on?
Thanks!
Greg
