I keep synchronized to cooker, and miracle : xmms now works as normal user. So, I suspect a bug fix was commited a few days ago, but don't know which package configures this.
Re: [Cooker] 7.2 beta2 --/dev/dsp permissions
My /dev/dsp is not linked to anything. Also it stays owned by root even when I log in as another user. Is that correct? From what I understand from your email /dev/dsp should be a link and /dev/dsp should be owned by the user when the user logs in. My computer boots up to kdm.

Yes, it should :-) In my own case, it's pure fantasy. For the moment i have : lrwxrwxrwx1 root audio 11 aoû 8 05:58 /dev/dsp -> ../dev/dsp0 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 3 jui 19 18:48 /dev/dsp0 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 19 jui 19 18:48 /dev/dsp1 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 35 jui 19 18:48 /dev/dsp2 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 51 jui 19 18:48 /dev/dsp3 [guillaume@agathe guillaume]$ ll /dev/mixer* lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 13 aoû 8 05:58 /dev/mixer -> ../dev/mixer0 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 0 jui 19 18:48 /dev/mixer0 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 16 jui 19 18:48 /dev/mixer1 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 32 jui 19 18:48 /dev/mixer2 crw---1 guillaum audio 14, 48 jui 19 18:48 /dev/mixer3 /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp symlink doesn't have the same group !? And what's the use of audio group in this situation ? Some time owner of the real devices isn't the user, but root (or system, i can't remember), and audio group doesn't have write perms. So i have to change them by hand. I can't trace back such change to a particular config change (mostly due to my daily frenetic cooker upgrade mania), but if someone could tell me which scripts are responsible for establishing those perms, i'd like to have a look. I precise i didn't change my security level, who stays medium. -- Guillaume Rousse Iremia - Université de la Réunion Plus petites unités de mesure - de longueur : le millimètre - de volume : le millilitre - d'intelligence : le militaire

Re: [Cooker] 7.2 beta2 --/dev/dsp permissions
> what are the correct permissions for /dev/dsp? I also have a problem. I have no [xkg]dm running on my machine. I log on a virtual console, and then issue a startx most of the time. Everything is good, and /dev/dsp becomes bertou:audio upon login. However, I sometimes log off from the console, staying in the X session (nohuped). Is there a way not to have the ownership of /dev/dsp to go back to root ? Another thing, the permissions are 640 when owned by root. If it were 660, I could just add me in the audio group and it would be Ok. Is there some reason for not having the permissions set to 660 ?
