Ubuntu :: Redirect Sound Output From User A To User B ?

Apr 30, 2011

I'm running a browser (google-chrome) as a different user.

To achieve this, I do the following:

Code:
$ sudo xhost +

Then run the command you want as the other user:

Code:
$ sudo -i -u <username> /opt/google/chrome/chrome

Then when I'm done browsing, I do:

Code:
$ sudo xhost -

[Code]....

Instead of doing pkill pulse, is there any way to redirect the sound output (Flash Player) from <browser user> to <current gnome user>, so I don't have to pkill the sound daemon of the current user ?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lucid 10.04 No Sound As Normal User / But Sound OK As Root

May 1, 2010

I've got a custom compiled kernel, just built on Lucid 10.04 from the kernel sources.System works fine, except for sound.When I log in as normal user and try to play a wav file using.The sound file is being played, but I hear no sound.However, when I do "sudo -s" and become root, execute the same mplayer command then I can hear the sound.My Sound preferences shows no input device and only "Dummy Output" as output device.On the generic kernel as came with the Lucid 10.04 CD, sound preferences shows different devices.The strange thing is: when I compiled my custom kernel, I changed nothing to the sound options in the kernel config file.

Ubuntu :: Sound In One User But Not In Other?

May 6, 2010

I just upgraded to Lucid, but I believe we had the problem before in Karmic, sometimes the sound would just go away, and no matter how much I moved anything in preferences it would not come back, until the pc was restarted.

Now, in Lucid, I discovered something, whenever my wife or I watch video, be it VLC or through Firefox, the other user cannot listen to anything. This goes on until the pc is restarted, but whenever someone accesses first any app that requires sound the other user is screwed.

I checked the sound preferences, and in my case everything looks fine, the Hardware tab lists a device to configure, as "Internal Audio with 1 Output / 1 Input Analog Stereo Duplex". Thing is, my wife's sound preferences do not list anything in her Hardware tab, and I bet that whenever she can listen to anything this will show up, and mine will disappear. Even Rhythmbox is silent.

Ubuntu :: No SUDO Access When Admin User Created Through Kubuntu User Manager?

Jan 6, 2010

Original HOWTO can be found at: [URL]... So the other day I was in IRC and someone had brought up a problem where they created a new Administrative user, but didnt have rights to use sudo. Looked into the problem a little bit to figure out what was wrong, and it turns out that when you create a new user through the user manager (in kubuntu, anyways. Havent tested in Gnome.) the user gets added to the adm group, however, a quick look at the sudoers file shows that its looking for users in the admin group to allow the use of sudo. So, to solve the problem we do the following: If youre on the new admin user (which Im assuming you are) use the following commands:

Code:
su [insert username of old account without brackets]
sudo usermod -G admin [username of new admin account without brackets]
exit

Then simply logout, and then log back in (not always necessary, but the easiest way to flush the permissions.)

Code:
su [insert username of old account without brackets]
Means were going to Switch User to the old admin account
Code:
sudo usermod -G admin [username of new admin account without brackets]
This simply adds the admin group to the secondary group list for the new user
Code:
exit
Pretty self explanatory

Ubuntu :: Made An Error With Chmod - Create User But Don't Allow To See The Other User's Home Folder

Jan 18, 2010

I wanted to create an user but don't allow it to see the other user's home folder so I made chmod 0750 /home/folder and it worked fine so I went ahead and decided to completely forbid access to the root folder and I had the "great" idea to make chmod 0750 /, and now I'm having problems with wine and other applications, in example I used to have a folder in this address 209.239.114.51/mmgr but now it's giving me errors and if I try to run some applications I got error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal"

Ubuntu :: Command To Determine Active User (Not $USER Variable)

Jul 21, 2010

I'm trying to write a small script that will run as root, but launch a command with sudo as another user. I want that user to be whichever user is active user. That is, the user that is using GDM right now, or the one that is logged into the current console. (by current console, I don't mean the user running the script, but rather the user logged into the console currently displayed on the screen.)How can this be done?

Code:

ACTIVE_USER=`somecommand`
test `id -u pulse` -ge 1000 && sudo -u $ACTIVE_USER $*

What can I use for "somecommand"?

Ubuntu :: No Sound - Affecting One User Profile?

Mar 20, 2010

I appear to be experiencing an annoying issue with my soundcard. As you can see from the images below, the soundcard is detected, but not when it comes to the "output". This is only affecting one user (my admin account is fine, as was a new user set up to test it).

I've looked at this page and have attempted reinstalling alsa, but to no success.

The results from aplay -l are:

Quote:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

[Code]....

"stevek" being the user that I'm having difficulty with. I suspect that I might need to recreate part of my user profile, but I'm not sure where start.

Fedora :: User Memory Allocation - Set A Maximum Limit On The Amount Of Ram A User Can Utilize?

Jul 24, 2009

I have a few multi-user servers in an academic laboratory. I am having a problem with some users maxing out the available RAM, causing such sever slowdowns the machine essentially crashes. My servers are Dell Power Edge's running Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition (Not my choice). I would like to set a maximum limit on the amount of ram a user can utilize. This morning I experimented with setting limits via /etc/security/limits.conf and using ulimit. Neither of them prevented my test program, a simple infinite loop of mallocs, from crashing the server.

OpenSUSE Network :: Root User Has Access To Remote Folders/files Of Any User?

Jan 21, 2010

Prelude: OpenSUSE 11.2 (2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop), installed Novell client 2.0 SP2 (novell-client-2.0-sp2-sle11-i586.iso).

I found that if any usual user is logged into a NDS-tree, then _local_ root has full access to user's network shares, including the user's home directory located on remote Netware-server. Is it by design or
have I missed something? Nevertheless in windows local admin has no access to network resources mounted of any other user. If you runas shell (as admin) then admin in principle can't "see" network shares which were mounted (connected) by other users - they are accessible ("visible") per session.

For instance, on a Mac/Windows machine, i would just rename the existing user profile [home dir], and then just log back in as the user - job done. On OpenSuse/Linux, it seems it does not work that way..?! When i try to rename my home folder to say me.old via root, and log back in as me, i get all kinds of errors. Opensuse does create a new home dir, but it appears not properly.
