To run tpb as a normal user, the user must be in the nvram group (As stated above). This can be done by running the command: sudo adduser <username> nvram
To fix up the init script so that the stopping works, simply add the following line to the stop) part of the switch. The file I have attached is a demonstration of this. killall tpb Finally, to make the program run on startup, navigate through the menu System->Preferences->Sessions and add a new startup program. Name it "Thinkpad Button" and the command should be "tpb -d". I could not get the init script in /etc/rc2.d/S99tpb (symbolic link to /etc/init.d/tpb) to work though. ** Attachment added: "Fixed version of /etc/init.d/tpb" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16091617/tpb%20fixed -- Cannot run tpb as normal user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
