That assumes you want to use console-kit / policy-kit. Not everyone likes them. > It is very rare that you should ever have to mess with permissions or > user groups to make things work - in fact doing such fiddling will often > do more harm than good due to breaking (for example) fast user > switching.

Some distributions allow users to choose whether to use console-kit / policy-kit and do not "impose" them. So if the user chooses not to use it, then the distribution isn't "busted". For anyone not interested and or not using console-kit / policy-kit, adding a user to the audio group is the correct solution. > Col > - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections / RelEng -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNscglAAoJEC8ZTXQF1qEPPtMQAIPa4qdGmQ8XXCP+UBn9pOqf c6GXO6icmHIqY4+3otvl8xYFRJlj9Tbpna0qon2out5NCl/1m/y7/mrjWierA9JY yz0akhVKIWmu6XxhaLzN19+rkASCIhMKC1hLeomjEUEY2Q0yRKHjKpVIZ/pzJk4D XBYRoRVcjM4dSjhQ8BOem/+tspAXg13gjQjGorOg8xEu7819mJSB0+Q0AkbqkU/H 8YRbqRXZD/MX4uec0KJYc2StUdeWBCstl9W/cAKjCgr68oVAMYOYVgXY+Dku9XMp NJjnYIRc4XvYt0nbU/yiHVIL/AwO1pbCm7VbXmGWF9p51HmltxLgvkOtbLHz88fE lPJGokd1wv6B5tpvhjslexNG6sMhSY4J616Mbug7Tbjt/TxkQ0h8XkSHcAzSMICS +Gx2XW5ISp4eaT3DSsBV6lTsEysYhwKrMwtrJ70IeUgbTodhp6aIiE9ViMF6lwTE 3aaJy/eZkZHfnOwlgmbmEQjV3nhpfviGCdiX9dOMr8pdinO/fYv7HsHh/iCVu0Vd iQYfcPytmlJK5xMNz7tforX+vpK4UbRP8NMPhEvT0nfVzd1XD/ZaQl2K4VHhI0il 80RbefRDczOtUORVtwtlT1zz/Rb6Dyaw6WPWmd62x4lVo9CNO9Lri/Gyw7ERvtQJ Z0z2z/S1qwB6/Mp4QcHY =MVuN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Amarok mailing list Amarok@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok
