taking a hack at /etc/group
I stumbled across bug #48545 (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/48545) when sound wouldn't work only for the "primary" user ('me') ... it *did* work for the other users on this computer, including others with access to root. The fix is to add 'me' to the audio line in /etc/group: audio:x:29:user1,user2,user3,me In the meantime, I noticed there were several lines in this file which included all users except 'me'. So here's the question: should I add 'me' to all such lines? Seems too crude ... and there must be some file "upstream" that would lead to 'me' being left off in the first place ?? Thanks, Doug

sounds like you should

i dont use ubuntu myself, but i imagine that whatever utility you use to add yourself to the proper groups, they'd all be frontends to editing /etc/group anyways as for not being in the groups in the first place, that would be traced back to how your user was created in the first place -mike
