Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
since jaunty, I used a script which check whether music is played.
It uses the following command:
$ pactl list | grep RUNNING
The script is called from rc.local, and as such, it is run by root.
While in jaunty and karmic, everything works great,
a fresh install of Lucid lets the script die.
If I type in
$ sudo pactl list | grep RUNNING
it gives me the error:
Home directory /home/produnis not ours.
Connection refused
I don't know what this means, as the script isn't stored in my home-
folder, and it does no actions in my home-folder....
In sum:
Running the comand as user "produnis", everything works well
Running the comand as root, it gives me the error.
Unfortunately, I MUST run the script as root (due to other action it does),
so, is there any hint why it is not working any longer?
[Running Lucid 64bit with current updates]
