Iron only works as root [Solved]

Hey guys...
I just installed Iron via the AUR, which only works if started via
sudo iron
Running it as a normal user gives me:
[14573:14573:11751859307:FATAL:/google/google/iron/src/app/gfx/font_skia.cc(90)] Check failed: tf. Could not find font: Terminal
/usr/bin/iron: Zeile 4: 14573 Trace/Breakpoint ausgelöst /opt/iron/iron --enable-plugins $@
Is that just a missing dependency? But then why does it work when run as su? Any ideas?
And while I'm at it... is there a good adblocker for Iron?
Thanks in advance and bye...

@leadghost: Do you have have xorg-fonts-misc installed?
$ p -Qo /usr/share/fonts/misc/micro.pcf.gz
/usr/share/fonts/misc/micro.pcf.gz is owned by xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.0-4
$ p -Qi xorg-fonts-misc
Name : xorg-fonts-misc
Version : 1.0.0-4
URL : http://xorg.freedesktop.org/
Required By : xorg-server
@SleepyFloyd: Didn't find a font "terminal" on my system. Probably, it is named differently, but if you do not have xorg-fonts-misc installed, you should try installing it, too.

Flashplayer only works as root

Hello there. Since this is rather long time since this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51055 ([solved]Flash only works as root?) I made a new thread. I've installed firefox with pacman -S firefox. So did I installed flashplugin. The problem is that when I go to youtube.com or any other site that has flash clipcs and when I click play, firefox will just crash without warning. Here is the firefox output:
$ firefox
(firefox:27165): Gtk-WARNING **: Ni mogoče najti pogona tem v poti module_path: "thinice",

Pacman -Syu and now keyboard only works as root kde

I did a pacman -Syu and now keyboard only works as root kde
Users can use keyboard in the basic console and this is a failure within KDE or the X-server.
On this upgrade I needed to add the portmap daemon to rc.conf.
I am running kerrnel 2.6.5-2. The upgrade lifted KDE to KDE 3.2.2. Xfree86 was upgraded previously and did not present this problem so the KDE upgrade is under suspicion.
My rc.conf daemons list is DAEMONS=(portmap syslogd klogd !pcmcia network netfs crond fam cups kdm)
Is there something extra I need to add?

Hi colnago,
I tidied up my daemons, after considering how you've set yours. I agree portmap and fam are not useful. I now understand that the upgrade was leaning on fam so that it noticed portmap was missing... a red herring issue, perhaps?
I had no means of getting a dmesg log readout, because of the keyboard crashing. So I have patiently reinstalled kde 3.2.1, by way of adding the components one by one from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. That works, so I can now pause and investigate if there are any any known issues with the 3.2.2 upgrade that shed light.
I did get an indicator that the DCOP server did not function properly. This happened as warnings and errors, when I installed an additional user.
Thanks

[Solved] Volume Control only works on root (Xfce)

I just installed Xfce and everything has been going great. The only problem I have run into so far is a permissions error with the volume control as well as a problem streaming music from Pandora using Pithos. When ever I try to use the Mixer applet on a normal user account I get this error:
GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem.
I also get this error (only on non-root accounts when trying to use Pithos to stream music from Pandora):
GStreamer error: state change failed and some element failed to post a proper error message with the reason for the failure.
I believe that both are permission errors, but how would I fix it?

Usb digicam - only works as root

i can't figure out where the permissions are. in /proc/bus/usb i have 3 directories (001 002 003) and 1 file, devices. originally all had root:root ownerships. i wasn't sure which one to change, so i changed them all to root:users -R just to be sure, and it still didn't work. (group=users in usbcam, btw.)
then i tried changing the rwx permissions of all to 644, and since then, gtkam now can't even detect the camera as user. before changing the rwx, pressing detect detected the cam (canon A75) as USB PTP, but then when i pressed apply, it said it couldn't initialize camera. as root, it initialized and dloaded the pics (to where is another question :?: i saw them in gtkam, though).
i'm guessing i'm not missing any modules, since it does work as root (i did notice that i don't have sr-mod, though -- what is that, anyway?) usb-storage and the hcd modules are loaded.
so, can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong, or where to change the permissions (if that is in fact the problem)? thx

Should be :-)
But you have to configure it so when you attach your digital camera via usb it will create an event that will create devices and ensure proper permissions (I don't have special group. I just used root:users).
Wiki is dead now so I have to stop here (I hope it'll be back soon).
If you are sure hotplug creates devices with proper permissions then another problem could be digikam (or kde/dcop) itself. Once I run digikam from user account but using su. This changed permissions for dcop files in my user home directory and some kde stuff in /tmp or /var/tmp (don't remember now). I had to change them back.
But I think it's about hotplug configuration.
Are you sure you did everything as it's described in the wiki?

System Proxy Settings only work as root

Using Firefox 10.1 on Suse Linux Enterprise Edition 11 SP2
Setting the System Proxy settings to our Proxy and using Firefox with "using System Proxy Settings" works as root user. The Authentication Prompt for Authentication Pops up and after entering the credentials FF works.
The very same Settings do not work as non-root User. Not even the Authentication Prompt for Proxy Authentication pops up.
All Proxy Settings are available too both users (checked Variables exported in Shell).
Any Pointers appreciated.

Yes, entering the Proxy settings manually does work. Even the automatic configuration using the proxy.pac works. Just the "Use System Settings" part does not.

Flashplayer and Spellcheck only work as root.....

I am VERY new to Arch....
Recently just installed and things are going well....except for a few glitches....
I installed Flashplayer and spellcheck (among other things) with pacman....
Upon doing so I realized that flash etc. are ONLY available in "root"
I try installing them in my user "donald" and no dice...It says its already installed...but I cant use it? (youtube...etc..)
any suggestions?
Thanks
Donald

sounds like the file permissions are wrong in the /feirfox/plugins folder
if you made a firefox user/group change them to that
or change them toy your normal user.
most of these plugins need to be able to wright to the firefox folder .

[SOLVED] Network manager only works as root

Hello everyone,
I am brand new to arch and have been quite impressed over the past few days over all it has to offer. Everything has been running quite smoothly and I am now in the process of setting up wireless. I installed network manager and was able to connect to a wireless network as root. For my regular user, however, I am running into some issues. First one was that the nm-applet could not be opened in fluxbox. I received the following error:
** (nm-applet:1576): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Error: (9) Connection ":1.27" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file
I "fixed" this by adding the following to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf. Original credit goes to the user in this thread (I only slightly modified his code): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63576

<policy user="myusername">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSetting.Secrets"/>
</policy>

Now the applet shows up for my regular user, the problem being that it doesn't connect to the wireless networks (only wired). Whenever I try to connect to wireless, nothing happens (the symbol doesn't change in any way, i.e. the green spheres should start circling); I am still able to succesfully connect to wireless using root. Does anyone know what the source of this issue may be? Thank you very much in advance.

Solved: Had to install consolekit and add "ck-launch-session" to my .xinitrc file when starting fluxbox.
Edit: Please note that this also allowed me to remove the previous change to nm-applet.conf (no longer necessary)!

[SOLVED] Trackpad only working as root

I just installed arch on my late 2011 macbook pro. Almost everything worked fine out of the box but I have an issue with the trackpad, it does not work at all if I startx as a regular user. If I start X as root it seems to work fine.
The only unusual message I see in X's error log is the following:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
Please be patient with me as I don't have a mouse to edit the post properly or paste the full error log.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It looks like spoke too soon. The problem was related to the permissions for /dev/input/event11 it only has group permissions for group input. What was needed was to add my user to the "input" group.

Creative Cloud Desktop only works in root account

Mac 10.10.3
Can't open ACC desktop. nothing happened on the screen after clicking the icon. only an ACC logo (in grey) showed up in the status bar at the top but it disappeared quickly. Have tried:
1. Creative Cloud Cleaner
2. Safe Mode
3. clean OOBE, AAMUpdater folders
4. log in with another administrated user
Installed and opened successfully in root account, but still not working in my account (which is a administrator).
Please help me solve the problem. Thanks!

Ji Yunlu,
There seems to be a problem with permissions.
Kindly make sure that you have Read and Write permission on the folder mentioned below.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
/Application/utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud
/Application/utilities/Adobe Application Manager
Please share the results once done.
Thanks,

Devede only works as root

Hey,
When trying to use Devede, I can only get it working when using the root account.
When using a regular account, I get "There was an error with the file, file doesn't seem to be a video file".
I guessed this has something to do with the group specification of my linux, but after checking the /etc/group
file I found nothing out of the ordinary.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..
Thanks

K3b only working as root again

With k3b 0.11.17-1 and udev I get 'cannot allocate memory' when trying to use it. It works fine as root. I have been playing around with my udev.permissions (after the problem came up to try to fix it) but I have not found the problem yet. Please help.

I went to k3b and cdrecord and many had already complained about this. The official cdrecord solution is to not use 2.6.8.x+. Someone on the k3b forum said it works fine if you have the 2.6.8.1 patches (arch already does) and you patch cdrecord.
Applying this patch to cdrecord (in the cdrtools package) will make it work as a user again.

VDPAU only working as root (Nvidia)

Just installed a fresh install of Arch on my thinkpad and was having some weird VDPAU issues.
Flash crashes (firefox and chromium)
mplayer (mpv) spits this out:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
and falls back to the opengl VO
vainfo gives me this:
libva info: VA-API version 0.34.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_33
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
zsh: floating point exception (core dumped) vainfo
*BUT* sudo mpv file.mp4 runs using vdpau normally, sudo vainfo spits back all the appropriate info.
I tried adding myself to the "video" group even though I thought that was no longer necessary and that had no result.
Anyone got any ideas?

Thinkpad model is that? Because it seems that searches for vdpau intel. Please post stdout of
lspci -k | grep -i "VGA"
pacman -Qs vdpau
ldd /usr/bin/mpv | grep vdpau
As looked with root using vdpau? My idea is that you have a computer with two graphics cards and not configured. But with information you posted I don't know. Please, for next time, post config or wiki the program in which you have the problem. Regards.
