Ah, but it was set correctly! The appliance comes configured quite intentionally so that ‘any old user’ (i.e. non-root) cannot mess with files in /var/snd. As an administrator you can of course override that policy if you wish, but that’s certainly not Best Practice in my book. As for the user/group names in rd.conf(5): these are system accounts and have nothing whatever to do with the locally logged in user.
So the RDlogin user can still delete files within RDlibrary if set in RDAdmin even if the system account 'rd' isn't part of the audio group fro /var/snd permissions?
See ‘/etc/gdm/custom.conf’, which is where Gnome auto-logins are configured. Again, KDE4 is a basket case; if you do figure out how to make it work correctly, please let the rest of us know!
Yes as I've quickly discovered. I did like KDE3 back in Suse.
If having KDE is important for your site, you may want to go with v1 of the appliance (which uses CentOS 5 with KDE3). Still available at:
Thanks Fred, I'll give this a go too.
FWIW, I typically do this sort of thing a dozen or more times a week; in ten years, I’ve had a handful of times (half a dozen?) where the restore had problems. Most often, that’s been due to differences in the SQL dump resulting from mixing different versions of MySQL (coming from a newer to an older version can be especially problematic). Those are generally straightforward to fix by tweaking the SQL in an editor.
I'll have to look more in to this. As I haven't touched MySQL much apart from dumping the database when it went funny and changing it on the old system so it was networkable from another RD workstation.
I reset the passwords on RD login users via RDAdmin as requested when going to v2. When I change user, if a sound panel item is playing in RDAirPlay the button playing is no longer red or counting down. This didn't happen in 1.7.2, the sound panel item stayed showing that it was playing. Anyway to fix this?
Haven’t seen this; will check when I’m back in front of a Rivendell system (about to get on a plane right now).
I'll go re-produce it as I can't remember if it was the default 2.5 that came on the appliance or after I updated to 2.8.1 now. I think it may have been the default version on the appliance.
I'll try the old appliance, try a db restore then upgrade to 2.8.1 and see what happens down that route too.
