Permissions of libpulse.so changed to fix skype, mplayer not working.

I've changed the permissions of libpulse.so according to the Skype fix:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sk … fter_login
Now mplayer and anything that requires mplayer doesn't run (vlc and banshee still do though). Running mplayer in terminal gives
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libpulse.so.0: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
Anyone know how I might fix this?

Restore the read permissions. Weird btw that your skype crashes. Mine works fine with pulse.
You can tell mplayer to use ALSA directly instead. Check its man page for the -ao options and set those in the mplayer config file.

  • Skype is not working for almost a week in parts of...

    Our skype is not working for almost a week nnow in some parts of Ghana

    My friend and I have also been experiencing the same connectivity issues here in Ghana for about a week now. I am from the US and have had an account for several years.  I have been using my account here in Ghana for over 6 months and had no issues up until last Thursday when Skype wouldn't connect. I am working on Mac OS 10.8.2 and I've tried everything from uninstalling/reinstalling Skype to creating a new account altogether, none of which are working. My friend who works on a PC has also experienced the same problem in the past week.
    I entreat the Skype technical folks to find a quick fix as it is very frustrating to not be able to communicate with our friends and family. If anything, a courtesy email would have been appreciated if you were planning to cut off our service so that we wouldn't waste time trying to figure out the problem.

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem with my Dell Latitude E4310, and apparently also the E6410, E6510.
    The solution for me was to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14
    I tried that, unfortunately it does not work with this chipset. I do get a different set of channels though but it still cannot record anything. Maybe this chipset is too "new" for alsa. The latest release dates back from the end of January. Support for it is explicitly stated in the changelog to 1.0.24 but perhaps the recording part of it slipped through the cracks. ALSA bug tracking system seems quite closed.

  • Is there a fix to touch not working? All updates are done. Intermittent problem

    Is there a fix to touch not working? All updates are done. Intermittent problem

    Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    If that does not help, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out to make sure there is not a hardware issue.

    Follow the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

  • Skype number not working / long forwarding times

    Dear Team,
    my skype number is not working although I allowed everyone to call in my privacy settings.  This has been happening quite often and now it is already down all day.
    I put it on forwarding to my mobile number for now, but although i set the time to forwarding to one 2nd, it takes 20 seconds or so until my phone rings. Is this normal?
    Can you please help me fix this. And please don't send me the customer service link with which i should click my way through. I tried many times to "click find" my answer. I hope a discussion with a human being helps.
    Best,
    Joerg

    Hi, Maxchina, and welcome to the Community,
    My hands are tied - you asked not to be provided with instruction how to contact Skype Customer Service - which you would have to click your way through - and which I would normally recommend you do just to double-check nothing is awry with your Skype Number. 
    Our Community Guidelines do explain that this Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service; no customer service agents monitor the posts here.  We here in the Community are not authorized to access Skype accountholder files or records.
    As far as the delay in forwarding, have you tried to set your "number of rings" setting in your client software settings to "0" (zero)?  Sometimes that does the trick.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • My skype number not working

    Hi my skype number [***] isnt working ....
    pls chk and do the needfull asap
    First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Additional information added: can the Skype number (formerly known as Online Number) be reached from a land or fixed line?   If yes, can the number be reached from a mobile phone?  If not, then the issue is different - the wireless carrier may not be recognizing the number.
    If all else fails, please contact Skype Customer Service for assistance - they need to diagnose and resolve whatever the problem may be.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.

  • `Skype 7 not working & freezing screen for Windows...

    I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64bit) 2 days back, and since then facing problem installing and running Skype. Skype 7 was working perfect on Home Basic. After reading through the various options given in the Forum, I have tried all the suggestions as below, but everytime there was a problem.
    Re-Installed Win 7 Ultimate X64 for around 5times - no resolution
    Re-Installed Skype 7 for around 10-15times - no resolution
    Completed Windows Update - no resolution
    Upgraded to IE 11 with all the patches.
    Got latest version of Adobe Flash - no resolution
    Got Latest version of Direct X - no resolution
    Got latest JRE - no resolution
    Tried changing the Compatibility Settings of Skype by right-click on the Desktop Icon - no resolution.
    %appdata%\Skype\Apps renaming the Login folder and creating the shortcut of Skype icon side the Phone directory - no resolution
    %temp%\Skype delete folder - no resolution
    There were suggestions to install old versions of Skype - did that too but the same problem of freezing
    Now, this is what I am facing:- Skype would install fine. (I learnt and unchecked "Run at Startup). Now when I click on the Skype desktop icon, two cases occur, either entire Windows would freeze or initially Skype would show a blank/white screen and become un-responsive eventually & then freeze the windows. Even Skype website would freeze the browser at times.

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option only).
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

    i need your help 2 days a go i brought polanda number it was working good now its not working i dont no why plz could you help me this is my phone number
    [removed for privacy and security] which i brought

    Hi, Gaza898, and welcome to the Community,
    We here in the Community do not have the tools to diagnose and rectify problems with Skype Numbers, however Skype Customer Service does.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service    Skype is aware of lingering website issues. Temporarily enabling scripts, pop-up dialog boxes, and disabling plug-ins which could prohibit pop-ups may help get past website problems.
    If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
    Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.

  • [solved] DBus permissions? polkit? a lot of things do not work.

    Hello,
    here is the problem.
    i made some updates.
    after rebooting i started to get problems.
    I use KDE 4.9.3
    first, NetworkManager was not working. i realize that there were some problems with permissions and NW.
    in some way i was able to get it work and that's why i'm able to write here.
    but: wireless is not working at all.
    the error says:  "no session found for uid 1000 (unknown)"
    i cannot mount any kind of devices. the error says: "permission denided"
    if i try to change the clock setting, kde is no more asking me the root password. indeed, the change has not effect. no error displayed
    i really don't know where i could search for a solution.
    is a DBUS problem? it seems so.
    it's a problem of polkit? i found out that something happens in the last updates. i think that everything migrated to systemd and also there was something about polkit or policykit.
    can some of you give me some suggestions?
    do you have some ideas why i got this problems?
    thanks in advance

    yes.
    thanks.
    that was the problem.
    i followed the wiki and i found the solution. everything is solved.
    thanks.
    btw, i was thinking that everything was in auto-magic because
    1) i'm a newbie here in arch
    2) i found that the package was installed and, noticied that pacman configure the packages for you i convince myself that it did also for systemd.
    3) i read the news but nothing was talking about the fact that "you have to follow the wiki". so, i was wrong.
    thanks.

  • Skype is not working

    I log into skype almost every day, and to my supprise it would not allow me today. so this is what i have done about it.
    I tried logging into both of my accounts, using the skype program(not app) and niether worked.
    Then I tried to change my password on my skype accunt
    I tried logging in, still does not work, and if i am logged into the website and it is working here then it is obviusly not a problem with my passwords or typing it in incorrectly.
    Then I tried updating to the most recent version, tried to log in, still nothing
    Then I uninstalled it completely ad installed it again, tried logging in still nothing
    I am running windows 8, so i figured lets try the windows made app, to my supprise my windows live account could log in which is good! but my other account, the one i am logged into currently, and the one i wanted to access will not work.
    to log in with my skype account (not the terrible windows live account or the facebook one) with the windows app, it requires some bull**** windows live account set up crap, and hell no! why should i? it was working fine 12 hours ago.
    So now I am very upset with this not working, I do not know what is wrong or what i can do to make it work.
    I have two questions~
    -why is it not working? i would like some help making it work!
    -Windows have you ruined yet another decent chatting program with your foolishness?
    Windows no offence but offence, you are **bleep** terrible, the layout for your app is terrible, go back to making your OS, the origional skype layout is best, do not **bleep** with what you can not comprehend or improve upon! we are not all 5 year olds that need half screen buttons to check out the different options, it is laggy, the layout has lag and delays between clicking the buttons to access different parts of it, windows you may do a better job creating programs for autistic and mentally/learning challenged people, let the big boys and adults handle the usefull things like skype, dont touch it!

    Why has my skype stkpped working
