Xmms not work as user

bdee · 2004-06-29 17:22:48

My xmms does not work as user, but works as root. I give permissions for users in devfsd.conf, but when I klick to play file it does not pick up the file. The file name does not appear in the window. With Mplayer is does the same. What is the problem?

the problem may be your devfsd.conf. if you post it then someone may be able to point out mistakes if there are any.

also did you reboot or restart devfsd after adding the permissions? did you log out then in? it could be one of these as well but post your devfsd.conf first please.

You can add your user to the sound group, or you you can change your devfsd.conf like this.
REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
I think this will do it.

I had already done/creat sound group, and add user/ , before I wrote for the first time.

For the changes to take effect you have to reboot or kick devfs in the pants with "kill -HUP whatever-pid-of-devfs-is".
