Re: real player plugin only as root
Thank you Aryan! I changed the permissions and it seems to be working more or less... One thing I read was sometimes the files rpnp.so and raclass.zip must be manually installed in the netscape or mozilla plugins directory. Maybe that is the problem with your setup. But, you did mention that it is loaded. I would just make sure those two files are in your mozilla *plugins* directory. Good luck :-) John On Thu, 2 Jan 2003, Aryan Ameri wrote: On Thursday 02 January 2003 21:37, ernst wrote: you scould check the rights (chmod a+rw /dev/dsp) # ls -la /dev/dsp crw-rw-rw-1 root audio 14, 3 Nov 4 2001 /dev/dsp # Well, I have RealPlayer, and all the permissions are correct and the mozilla plugin is loaded, but I can't use it.

Debian is the first that I am facing dificulties with. Wierd I guess. Under KDE my standalone realplayer just hangs unless I run it under the artsdsp wrapper. If you're running mozilla in KDE make sure that it is also run under the artsdsp wrapper. In unstable, the mozilla-browser package offers you the option to run it under a dsp wrapper automatically: dpkg-reconfigure -plow mozilla-browser Sometimes mozilla hangs since plugins (e.g. flashplugin) lock /dev/dsp. You can use dsp wrapper to resolve it. 'auto' will decide which dsp wrappers should be used according to the sound daemon running. When no sound daemon is detected, mozilla won't use any wrapper. This setting will be saved into /etc/mozilla/mozillarc and can be overriden with your ~/.mozillarc. 1. auto 2. esddsp 3. artsdsp 4. none :-) Please choose your sound daemon's dsp wrapper. [1] 1 For myself selecting auto works just fine. Make sure that you are a member of the audio group. Fraser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
