i cannot play video files, or open images in console as a regular user, whereas using sudo works just fine.
which .conf file do i have to edit now?

grep video /*/group should tell you if you're a member of 'video'.
Offline
i am.
and problem persists.

Could you post the output of 'groups' command run as the user w/ problems?
Offline
"video audio users"

What errors do you get? Maybe it's a permissions problem.
Offline
yes it is.
/usr/bin/mplayer permission problem.
thanks.

You also mentioned problems w/ opening images ...
Offline
yeah.
fbi opens images fine, but when i press space for next image, it exists, and page up/down (next/previous) don't work at all.
zgv-sdl spurts "SDL init failed - Unable to open mouse".
fim cannot be installed ("make: error1 error2").
reading on both SDL & fbi atm, but if anyone has a ready fix and could spare me the time, please do.
also, just encountered the same problem with SDL running tyrian.
Offline
ok, getting a bit off-topic, but when running tyrian w/ sudo in console, it starts, but in blank screen, though there is sound.
any ideas/suggestions on the given problems welcome.
Offline
ok, figured it all out except SDL.
im gonna need some help with that.
Offline
fixed this one too.
in case someone is curious. needed to change mouse permissions in /dev/
