[solved] Pulseaudio, multiple users, audio group?

Hello!
I'm trying to get pulseaudio working for multiple users. According to the pulseaudio documentation, no user should be in the audio group which should theoretically make it work. I think I've also seen that information in a file distributed with the official archlinux package somewhere... But without users in that group, I'm not getting any sound at all.
$ ls -l /dev/snd
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 5. Okt 23:13 by-path
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 7 5. Okt 23:13 controlC0

crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 1 5. Okt 23:13 seq
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 33 5. Okt 23:13 timer
That should - according to pusleaudio docu - mean, that HAL and/or polkit will be handling user switching & stuff but it can be overridden by the audio group...? Well it does not seem to be working that way.
So... where do I start? Can't find any relevant information... everything on the subject seems to be either obsolete or just not working...
Thanks!

I log into a tty and let xfce handle the rest. Which means the first user's X gets started by startxfce4, the second user by xinit + xfce4-session (because I don't know how to make startxfce4 use another display).
I thought those two should handle everything correctly? I took a look at the sources a while back - looked pretty complicated to me: the scripts were checking for the status of needed stuff + trying to launch everything correctly.
But I'll try it manually again next time I get to it to make sure, that ck-launch-stuff is really handled correctly. Thanks for the hint!

Multiple user audio

Heres the story.
I log into my account, start up rosetta stone , do audio test via the USB headset all is fine.
(Preferences are set to default internal mic and speakers. )
I close rosetta stone.
I log into my sons account, boot Rosetta stone, try audio test as above, fails.
(Preferences are set to default internal mic and spekaers.)
I choose USB device for input in the preferences, it is alive I can see activity.
Try rosetta stone again still fail.
I flip back to my account and log out.
I come back to my sons account and try the Rosetta stone audio test all is fine !!!
I log into my account again, launch Rosetta Stone, try the audio test, fail
Is this OS X Lion not sharing USB audio devices across users?
Shas-O

Yep. I get the same issue. In order for Rosetta Stone(RS) to work for a user, that user must start RS when no other user is logged in. Otherwise, it will not properly detect the audio input (in my case USB). I mean, it will detect the devices but it will not capture the audio input.
But once you start RS as described above, others can login and it works fine for me.
So I planning on simply leaving RS running the whole time on one account and do all our training from there.

Adding multiple users into one security group at one shot

Hi,
Is there any way we can add multiple users into one security group at one shot into PWA.
For example: I want 100 create 100 users in EPM and Providing them with custom define Team defined permissions and can I add Time sheet Manager as well while creating bulk user through resource template in Project server 2010.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
In order to add users in a security group, you can open the group, select all the appropriate resources (pressing CTRL key) and add them to the group. There is no other easy way. Otherwise a powershell script could do the job.
For the timesheet manager, if all the 100 resources have the same timesheet manager, you can go to the resource center, select the resources (sorting by resource ID will give you together the latest resources added), bulk edit the resources and select the
timesheet manager for the selected resources.
Hope this helps,

Add multiple users to AD Group using AddRange

All,
I am trying to add multiple users to an AD security group using AddRange method but no luck.
Reason why I am using AddRange method is, the memberlist is pretty big (30K users) and Quest or MSFT AD Cmdlets taking plenty of time to add them.
I am following the instruction per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/ms180904(v=vs.80).aspx but no luck.
Code snippet:
$groupmembers = Get-Content C:\Temp\MemberDN.txt
$getgroup = [ADSI]"LDAP://CN=MYADGROUP,OU=GROUPS,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
$getgroup.properties.member.AddRange($groupmembers)
#$getgroup.properties["member"].AddRange($groupmembers)
$getgroup.CommitChanges()
#$getgroup.SetInfo()
I tried using ADSPATH as well but no luck.
Any help or pointers are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi PSPR,
I agree with David .
Also I tested that on my server2012r2 , please refer to :
$user="cn=test1,cn=users,dc=test,dc=com","cn=test2,cn=users,dc=test,dc=com"
$obj=[adsi]"LDAP://cn=test,cn=users,dc=test,dc=com"
$obj.member.addrange($user)
$obj.commitchanges()
Hope it helps

You mean users like root and unpriviledged users or human users accessing keyboards, mice etc.?
If the latter, try

Multiple Users - 1 Library

Is there a way that 5 different people can use iTunes on the same computer without having to share and modify the same library? Ideally, what I would like to do is set up different profiles for me, my wife, my daughter, and my two sons so that each of us can have a different library on the same computer....
Thanks,
Coach

While the original request was for a way to make multiple libraries there is another approach to multiple users that is worth considering.
You can keep all the music in one library and make use of playlists to control which music goes on to each iPod. You can create regular playlists into which you drag different selections of music however I prefer to make use of the grouping field and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage four iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

How to send emails to Multiple Users from a Single People Picker lookup field using Sharepoint designer workflow

Hi All,
I am working with SharePoint 2013 designer workflow. we are using office 365.
Our requirement to send email to multiple users, get the user groups from lookup list people and groups column.
But SP designer sending emails to the first user alone.
Please guide me to proceed.
Advance Thanks.
Regards
Jenkins NS
Thanks and Regards Jenkins

finally I got a solution
Identified a workaround to solve the issue using SharePoint designer.
Step 1
Create a lookup list Example department
Columns
Title (by default) – Single line of text
Users – Person or Group
Emails – Multiple lines of text
hidden the Emails column (go to content type and set the column as hidden)
Create a SharePoint designer Workflow
Start Workflow automatically when an item is created
Also Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed
Workflow Stage 1
Set Emails to current Item: Users
The workflow will get all users email ids and add in the Emails column delimiter as semicolon.
Step 2
Create a custom list to get the email ids and send email
Create a lookup column ex: analysis and refer department list, Allow multiple values
Then Create a SharePoint designer workflow

Is there an app or way for multiple users to access contact info?

We are a small business that maintains a contact list of leads and clients in a MS word file. We can access those word files via our iphones, but only view them. Is there an app or way to have one person in the office maintain a database of leads and clients that a few users can access via iphone and simply touch the phone number to call them or touch the address for directions/map?
We know we could each input the info in each of our phones independently, but that is dumb - given someone in the office maintains such info as part of their job and updates it weekly/monthly whatever. Do you see what I mean? I cannot believe there is nothing out there for this.
Basically we are looking for a continuously updatable, multiple user, remotely accessible, interactive contact database with name, address, and phone number. I think that is what I would call it.

I can access phone numbers directly from our client list in word.
And that solves your quest looking for "a continuously updatable, multiple user, remotely accessible, interactive contact database with name, address, and phone number"?
Wow... I never know Microsoft Word could do so much!

MULTIPLE USERS 10G RAC ORACLE_HOME INSTALL WITH ASM/CRS

Hi,
We need to install multiple 10g RAC databases on a two node Sun servers. Below is our configuration:
1) Sun Solaris (ver 10) with Sun Cluster 3.2
2) One ASM/CRS install (by 1 OS account)
3) Four ORACLE_HOME 10g database install (by 4 different OS user accounts)
We would like to use one ASM instance for all four databases with appropriate privileges.
OS User:           OS Group
========      =========
oraasm           dbaasm - (ASM and CRS install owner)
ora1           dbaora1 - first db owner
ora2           dbaora2 - second db owner
ora3           dbaora3 - third db owner
ora4           dbaora4 - fourth db owner
I understand that certain privileges need to be shared between ASM/CRS and DB owners. Please let me know the steps to be followed to complete this install.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please read that: Documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/intro.htm
- You can install and operate multiple Oracle homes and different versions of Oracle cluster database software on the same computer as described in the following points:
-You can install multiple Oracle Database 10g RAC homes on the same node. The multiple homes feature enables you to install one or more releases on the same machine in multiple Oracle home directories. However, each node can have only one CRS home.
-In addition, you cannot install Oracle Database 10g RAC into an existing single-instance Oracle home. If you have an Oracle home for Oracle Database 10g, then use a different Oracle home, and one that is available across the entire cluster for your new installation. Similarly, if you have an Oracle home for an earlier Oracle cluster database software release, then you must also use a different home for the new installation.
If the OUI detects an earlier version of a database, then the OUI asks you about your upgrade preferences. You have the option to upgrade one of the previous-version databases with DBUA or to create a new database using DBCA. The information collected during this dialog is passed to DBUA or DBCA after the software is installed.
- You can use the OUI to complete some of the de-install and re-install steps for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters if needed.
Note:
Do not move Oracle binaries from one Oracle home to another because this causes dynamic link failures.
. If you are using ASM with Oracle database instances from multiple database homes on the same node, then Oracle recommends that you run the ASM instance from an Oracle home that is distinct from the database homes. In addition, the ASM home should be installed on every cluster node. This prevents the accidental removal of ASM instances that are in use by databases from other homes during the de-installation of a database's Oracle home.

Multiple users on multiple macs sharing iPhoto Library

How can different family members (using personal logins) all access the same iPhoto library, regardless of which of our two iMacs they happen to be logged into?
I thought the solution would be as simple as:
Plug an external hard drive into the Airport Time Capsule.
Copy our iPhoto library onto the external hard drive.
Log in as each user, open iPhoto and point to the iPhoto library on the external hard drive.
I've searched the support forums and can't find a successful example of this. Does it work? If not, is there another elegant solution?
I'd also be interested in how to back up the 'networked' iPhoto library. I plan to use iPhoto's "publish to Flickr" capability for this as it also solves how to share photos with our family's many iOS devices.
Ps. I'm new to the Mac environment so am still learning my way with OSX (be gentle please).
Equipment
x2 iMacs (<12 months old) running the latest OSX and iPhoto software versions
2TB Airport Time Capsule (brand new) with a 1TB USB external hard drive plugged-in (not sure of the formatting).

This cannot work, unfortunately, for several reasons:
iPhoto is strictly a single user database. Only one user at a time can open it.
An iPhoto library needs to be on a locally mounted volume. It cannot be on a network share.
The file system of the drive needs to be MacOS Extended (Journaled).
Apple's only recommendation to share an iPhoto library is this: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
If you want to share photos and not the library, see this: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
Trying to put the iPhoto or Aperture library on a network volume, will result in library corruption or data loss:
Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

[SOLVED] Share Multiple Directories With Samba On Arch Linux and XP

Hello,
I have had the worst luck so far with Samba, which is far more likely because of an error on my part than on Samba's.
I can only seem to share one directory regardless of how I setup my smb.conf. And worse yet, if I mess with Samba, smb.conf, after the first time I set it up it doesn't work again until I reinstall my OS. Now I'm sure that reinstalling isn't the only option, but I haven't figured out how to make it work again any other way. I've tried uninstalling it, deleting it from the cache, deleting /etc/samba and so on, still can't connect to it from XP when I reinstall it.
I'm running Arch64 and I want to share some directories with a laptop running Windows XP.
I want to share my home folder, but have it accessible from XP only by me, share my mother's home folder, and have it accessible on XP only by her (well actually I guess it needs to be accessible by both, since i'm the admin), share my media-server (a collection of five hard drives where I store movies and such), and have it read/write by both of us. And finally share /srv so I can work on that from the XP computer as well. I think that's all. And I would like to share printers between the two computers. I would also like to access XP files from here.
I've always been able to get the media-server to share, but that's it, nothing else. And it doesn't always work right. It doesn't seem to want to follow sym links, but like I say if I mess with it it will stop working all together. So I'm not sure what to do.
A thought was to instead make a /media/samba-share directory and share that, and inside it have symlinks to my home, media-server, etc. However, that will only work if samba will follow symlinks for me.
Here is the smb.conf I am planning to use at the moment:
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
# Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

Now I wouldn't think I would need to list my home and mom's home seperately, but since [homes] has never worked for me in the past i thought i would give it a try. Does this look like something that would do what I am wanting?
Otherwise I would delete [homes], [media-server], [theavataroftime], [christina], and [server] and replace them with just [samba-share] with all those as symlinks inside that directory as before mentioned.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Any good guide on this matter would be appreciated, I have looked at several, but more can't hurt . Networking isn't my thing so to speak, so please be specific in any explanations. Thanks again.

Well it seems that my trouble all started when I began using the 'printable = yes' option for shares. Since I removed that the troubles seem to have left me.
Does anyone know why that is listed as on option in smb.conf here:
# A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
# the "staff" group
;[public]
; comment = Public Stuff
; path = /home/samba
; public = yes
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @staff
As well as in a few other examples if it doesn't work? I seen the example and assumed that option was needed to print from those shared directories.
Also, it seems that the comma is not needed between the 'valid users' names.
Also, I guess it wasn't Windows XP's fault either but rather my own ignorance. I like the idea of blaming Windows better though.....
I hope this servers to help others to aviod my mistakes.

Report Manager problem: The user or group name 'BUILTIN\Administrators' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)

Hello,
I have a big problem with Reporting Services 2005 working on Windows 2003 Server.
RS work as Network service, on subdomain reporting.mydomain with SSL wildcard certificate *.mydomain,
Anonymous access: disabled and basic authentication: enabled
ReportManager and reportServer has defualt virtual folders (/reporting, /reportserver)
My problem is:
1) I can't manage security roles and site settings with report maanger. when I try assign roles to new user or group I get followng error:
"The user or group name 'BUILTIN\Administrators' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName) Get Online Help"
when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see:
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady)
and I can't see my report in browser (IE 6.0) but only export to PDF, Excel...
other functionality are working fine i.e upload new files, creatign folders....
2) Also my reportserver virtual folder does not work correctly.
When I navigate to mydomain/reportserver I can see content of this virtual folder, than when I navigate to ReportService.soap i can see normal ReportServer view

Hi Wojtek
I just wanted to know if you found a solution for part (1). I just recently encountered the problem where:
"when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see:
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady) "
However all my reports are run from the most recent data. The rsReportNotReady message appears in Report Manager but not the Report Server interface; the latter is able to render the reports.   But both have incorrectly displayed textbox inputs.
Thanks

Sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users

Greetings,
I have been troubleshooting a problem sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users that cropped up a few weeks ago and have not had very good luck.
Several months ago I successfully set up my wife’s G4 Laptop (PowerPC processor) so that we could share iTunes on that computer. I had just gotten her an “My Book” external hard drive (Western Digital). The iTunes Library will go on this new unit because the internal drive was running out of room. I successfully set the privileges, moved the entire library onto a “Share” directory and everything worked fine.
In this way, when I got a new CD I could add it to iTunes (under my login, administrator privileges) and she could access it (under her login) to listen to while working on the computer or using her iPod. This arrangement went well for quite awhile.
About a month and a half ago, when I tried to launch iTunes from my login I received this message:
“The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.”
I think the permissions must have changed when there was an update because my wife is pretty careful about what she does on her computer. Updates were the only thing I could think of that had changed since I had set her computer up. I also noticed that some of the iTunes defaults were different from the last time I had used it to add a CD.
So, I did some reading and went back through the motions of trying to set it up again. I re-formatted the My Book hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) added the files back to the external, reset permissions on the external hard drive. (Owners: System, Access: read and write - Group: wheel, Access: read and write – Others: read and write).
When I now launch iTunes under my login I get this message:
“The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.”
What gives? I am the original owner and have always had top-level privileges.
Can someone point me to any articles or clues as to how I need to set-up iTunes on a single computer to be shared by more than one user? Also, I am considering upgrading to the newer system in a few weeks, so if a solution for OS X 10.5 is available, that would work too.
Tim

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

[solved] Pulseaudio, multiple users, audio group?
