Systemd-206 revives old bug? seq/timer permission

After upgrading to systemd 206 /dev/snd/seq and /dev/snd/timer have permission 0600.
Found this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24362
This was fine in 204.
EDIT: I'm not running a display manager but rather starting XBMC through a service. The user is in the audio group, which no longer can access the sound card because of permissions.

Ok, it seems like systemd is supposed to give access to the logged in user. I have been running xinit through a service and so the user is never actually logged in. Hasn't been a problem before as I just added my user to the groups that had access. I installed slim and made it autologin instead and now it works as it should without being a member of audio group.

  • Systemd 206 systemd --user problem

    Hi!
    I was using xorg-launch-helper and user-session-units previously (systemd 204), and everything worked flawlessly.
    Since i upgraded to systemd 206, those units won't work. So i came back to old .xinitrc, autologin to vt and autostart x. Well...it isn't working.
    In .xinitrc I have "exec /usr/lib/systemd/systemd" so i guess that is the problem.
    In fact, just putting in .xinitrc
    #exec /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
    xfce4-panel &
    xfdesktop &
    exec xfwm4
    works as expected.
    What should i do in order to go on using my systemd --user session? And, if it is possible, how can i go on using xorg-launch-helper and user-session-units too?
    Thanks!
    EDIT: starting /usr/lib/systemd/systemd gives me:
    Failed to create root cgroup hierarchy: Permission denied
    Failed to allocate manager object: Permission denied

    Well, this is the first time that I've run into that rather small note in the wiki about systemd supposedly rendering most group membership redundant. So I've removed myself from those listed there, and now I'm really having issues:
    Previously mpv would simply complain about insufficient rights for playback, now it won't even find the soundcard (neither does alsamixer anymore). Similar for video playback, which (with opengl as vo) is now refused.
    Note that this is a relatively fresh setup (1 month) without any custom configuration for audio nor video.
    edit: Found the reason, methinks. I don't use a login manager and thus, without session management, the permissions granted by logind are apparently not transferred to the tty X actually runs on. Previously the group memberships still gave me all the missing permissions, no the don't anymore (for audio). I don't see anything immediately relevant to fix this in the wiki, but I'll update this post if I find a solution.
    edit2: After some misadventures with user@/slim, which brought me deeper into the troubles talked about in this thread (plus spontaneous xserver combustion, mpd still missing the same rights, zshenv ignored with user@, etc.), I noticed falconindy's fixes in systemd-git. Installed that, and whereas it would somewhat work now with slim (eg. with a session dependent tmux), it's back to the ever-so-outdated but perfectly working, minimal mingetty+groups again.

  • Unable to Open/Import Multiple Files in Audtion 3 - Old Bug?

    As stupid as it might sound I can't seem to open more then single files from the Files Window in Audition 3.0.1. You can select them (shift+click or right click) but they don't open. However if you drop them from explorer or "open file with" they do open but then the next issue emerges.... They are not saved in the session file UNLESS you use them in the Multitrack View!! Now is this me or is it an old bug or something? (I've recently updated from Audition 1.5).
    The files I've tried are mainly wav-files and mp3. Same result though.

    Ooo? So UNSED files are NOT reloaded in the session file! Well, thanks for
    clearing that up (Still, I must say it makes it a bit frustrating though!).
    My impression was that, as I used Audition 1.5 before, I was quit sure it
    was possible there! But then again it's been a while since I used that
    program too in a major scale. (I've been working in much After Effects
    lately, wich of course has another handling of files).
    As for the Files (Edit) View, I still can not open more than ONE file at the
    time from that location - regardles of Multitrack or Edit View, really!
    ShiftClick, CtrlClick, Right Click - you name it. Yes, select them but
    open? No can do!! Now, as I mentioned before there is the workaround when I
    select the files in explorer (Windows) and then drops them in Auditions
    File View - they all then load accordingly (Or you can aslo use "open file
    with" then point to Audition). Otherwise, once the files are imported,
    there's no problem working with them in Multitrack/Edit and do all the rest.
    Yet, it is a bit absured though and hard to tell whether it's a bug or not
    (?). Virus?
    Anyway, thanks a bunch!

    I'm not sure I'm understanding your problem with the Files window.  To try
    this, I opened eight files in the Files window in Edit View.  From there I
    could drag any one of them into the Edit window with no problems.  I also
    was able to drag them into different tracks in Multi Track View.  I also put
    files into the Files window, CTRL+clicked all of them and dragged all of
    them at once into the Multi Track View successfully.  I repeated this doing
    SHIFT+click.  I then put into the Files window tracks that have different
    sample rates.  They all went into the Multi Track without incident (after
    the program resampled the unmatching tracks to conform to the session's
    sample rate).
    >
    Yes, you are correct that the files not used in the session are not
    reloaded into the Files window when the session is reopened.

  • An age old bug - GarageBand not updating

    It is actually both iPhoto & GarageBand that are not being updated. The exact message is this:
    This update is not available.
    You must have previously purchased the item being updated. Tap Buy to purchase it now.
    which doesn't make much sense to me. Does it make sense to anyone else?
    So, I have just one apple ID with which I purchased everything. And iPhoto came with the laptop as a part of the iLife bundle. In other words, it is not a multiple apple IDs issue.
    Also, it's been more than 90 days since I bought my laptop, so no free Apple Care for me and I really don't want to pay them to fix this bug. I feel like that is exactly what it is - a bug.
    Finally, I browsed the forums for weeks now and I see that a lot of people have this exact same problem, but non of the solutions proposed worked for me. I even contacted the Apple support, App Store Support etc. etc., but they were not very helpful, meaning they just want my money and don't want to fix this issue for free, which I kind of naively expected them to do.
    And one more time, as stated in the title, I think it is an age-old bug in the App Store. I'm surprised it is taking Apple several months to fix it.
    Anyways, any help or words of support would be greatly appreciated.

     > Software Update
    does nothing I think.
    Though, GarageBand version is 6.0.4. Is that the latest stable version?

  • I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

    I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done  the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

    Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
    If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

    how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto?  Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
    i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
    Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
    Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
    Your help is appreciated gang.: )

    Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto

  • OS 10.5.8 Leopard. Recovering old data from Time Machine after HD replacement.

    Okay, I have and iMac dual core Model A1224, EMC 2210, 20" screen, 2.66GHz processor, 2GB RAM, came, when I bought it, with a 500 GB drive circa late 2008. The drive started to fail about 2 weeks ago, random shut downs, wouldn't boot up, couldn't find the OS. Could sometime recover booting up from the original OS disk in the C drive, but eventually even that failed. Had run disk first aid and TechTool Pro6 to no avail, they all passed the drive so it was a mechanical failure,not bad sectors.
    REPLACED the drive with a brand new Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive, figured I was all set, Time Machine had backed up the old drive every day since 2009 to an external 1TB drive. I could even see the data there. Now new drive is installed and I need to load the OS to it and retrieve my data from Time Machine. Put in the old disk, Leopard 10.5.1, and walked along and asked it to bring in the data from Time Machine.... except, the data is saved on Time Machine in a new version of Leopard, ver. 10.5.8 and so the 10.5.1 version can't import it, but of course Migration Assistant will allow you to import it later.
    So, I continue to load the OS via the disk, then go to software update after creating a new computer name, which I didn't want to do. Updated the software so I am now running OS 10.5.8, open Migration Assistant and attempt to migrate / recover the old data from Time Machine. I can get some stuff, but it insists on my resetting everything up all over again, all new accounts in Quicken and Thunderbird and Microsoft Office, no recovery of data already there and I can't access the accounts that were set up by others, it indicates I don't have sufficient privileges though I was an Administrator on the old computer and on the current system as well.
    Frankly, I need that old data, so how do I get it? Do I bite the bullet and upgrade the system to Snow Leopard OS10.6.XX, will that allow me access to old data under OS 10.5.8? Will it be backwards compatible? How about moving up to Lion? Would that be a better way to go and will I be able to recover that old data then?
    VERY frustrated here! Thanks for help or direction you all can provide.

  • Imported old computer via time machine into new 2012 macbook pro, but its still running ilife 09 instead of 11?

    imported old computer via time machine into new 2012 macbook pro, but its still running ilife 09 instead of 11?

    I am assuming you had iLife 09 on the old computer - when you moved everything over, that came along with it.
    I also have older versions of iLife (on install disks) and just recently got a new 2012 Macbook Pro. I noticed that iMovie 11, iPhoto and Garageband (I think) are listed in my Mac App Store Purchases with a notation to "accept". So you might want to check MAS to see if the apps are sitting there.
    Now, I have chosen not to accept them for now for two reasons: I have iLife 11 on a disk and prefer that rather than having it tied to MAS/Apple ID and as long as I have my disk version installed, I also still have iDVD which I use a lot. I'm not sure if "accepting" those three from MAS would wipe out my iLife 11 installs including iDVD (which would be unacceptable for me). So, since I already have the latest version, I've opted to ignore the "accept" and, in fact, will leave it like that - if I ever sell this machine, the buyer can then accept them if they want with their own Apple ID. So before accepting the apps (if they are listed in MAS), you might want to check to make sure that your iLife install isn't wiped out - that is, if you have iDVD and want to keep it.

  • Bug in Time Machine 10.6 OS X Server, Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying

    Hello
    It seems there is a bug in Time Machine which never occured in 10.5.8
    We had a Mac OS X Server 10.5, with 2 external RAIDs, one with the SharePoints of Data and one as Time Machine Volume. This solution runs soomthly for 1 1/2 year.
    Now we updated the OS X server from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4 with a clean install.
    Since then it wasn't possible to make a finished BackUp with time machine. It stucks always. In the Console it listed the errors.
    example.
    19.09.10 11:49:41 com.apple.backupd[14514] Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Volumes/RAIDserver HaKa ZH/Server HK/Auftraege in Arbeit/BLESSING/F2010/Lewis_Das_komische_Manifest/Layout_Protokoll/LewisSmilie/alt/K01/alt to /Volumes/HaKa-TM (Drobo)/Backups.backupdb/raidserver/2010-09-18-022427.inProgress/8F2F98D2-2F5E- 4BE0-BD20-971BC9E4E39C/RAIDserver HaKa ZH/Server HK/Auftraege in Arbeit/BLESSING/F2010/Lewis_Das_komische_Manifest/Layout_Protokoll/LewisSmilie/alt/K01
    I can manualy delete this file or folder. Then the backup runs till the next error. very often the file involved is the ".DS_Store"
    First I deleted my Time Machine Volume and also delete die com.apple.timemachine.plist and make a complete new backup. This also stucks.
    Then I exclude the Data Volume and the BackUp of the bootVolume (server) runs fine. On the Data Volume are 4 Sharepoints. Owner is the administror and all the ACL and access-right are the same for the subfolders.
    Of these 4 SharePounts, I individually exclude them. 1 runs smoothly with 3 I have problems.
    I repaired the drives with DiskUtiliy and DiskWarrior. All errors are repaired but still the backup can't finished
    I also tried different issues mentioned in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2057525
    I suggest that Time Machine change the way it verify it file to backup. The Backup Volume hasn't change since the update to 10.6 (only some new files)
    I am very ****** off that Time Machine does'nt finished the backup and give me a list with all the errors.
    Is there a Program that is able to list file with error in the same way Time Machine verify it file.
    The last option I have it that is change back from 10.6 to 10.5.
    Is there a list with new features and bugs within 10.6.4?
    Is their a solution?

    Ah, I'd not seen that. ClamXav is free, and about the only one recommended here to find PC viruses so you don't pass them between Windoze machines, as it's not intrusive or damaging to the OS as most other anti-virus products are.
    What i hate is that i need to exclude everything which has error. On the Data Volume are hunderd tousands of File (1.8 Tb), it would take me months to sort it out which files/folders occured the errors. I repaired the drives whit different tools and now their are no errors on all drives.
    Agreed, there's no point to that. It's doubtful there's really anything wrong with the files. There does appear to be something wrong with the drive or file system, though.
    Are you sure the drive is compatible with Snow Leopard? A number of drives that worked fine with Leopard needed new firmware or drivers to work well with Snow Leopard. Check with the maker.
    If Apple has no fix in the next 10 days I will switch back to 10.5.8 server (and leave all that buggy new features for other people wo want to be experimental users for the staff of Apple)

  • Funny bugs with Time Machine connecting to MacBook when reboot

    Found a bug for Time Machine.
    Reboot with TM disk connect to the MacBook. Most of the time, there will be no show of TM Disk on the desktop and connect thumb drives will not detect too. And do a normal shutdown, I can still feel the warm air venting out from the MacBook.
    Have to remove the battery for a few seconds, replace it back and power up. Then everything will back to normal. If reboot with thumb drive connect, such symptoms will not appear.

    Yes, that message is not some of Apple's best work.
    Most likely, there's a damaged/corrupted file that Time Machine is choking on. See #C3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

  • OLD BUG is back: Heavy JClient Bug regarding to scrolling within a JTable.....

    Hi,
    I'm just evaluating the new features of JDev 9.0.3.988 (preview) and found an old bug back again!
    see: Re: Fetching data from database for login
    The current behaviour is slightly different:
    You have a generated JClient form displaying a table. There are more rows than the table can show at once. You scroll down with the cursor keys until some new rows are fetched. Now scroll up again. Make sure you only use cursor keys. If you reach the upper area of the table you can see that the StatusBar isn't refreshing it's current row counter and all possibly connected fields to the same binding don't update themself either.
    You can see this behavior by using only wizard generated source code based on the SCOTT/TIGER schema.
    This bug should have been definitively fixed in a previous beta version...
    Can anyone give a comment on this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Torsten.

    This bugfix doesn't work!!!!!!
    It makes the table scrollable via cursor keys, but now scrolling with the mouse isn't possible anymore!!!!I see the bug when you apply the above mentioned workaround that leads to scrolling due to double handlers for valueChanged event
    Lets try to fix this in the JUTableBinding source. From my test runs on the when the same fix is applied on JUTableBinding source, the scroll works fine in both key/mouse modes.
    Let us know if you find otherwise.
    The fix in JUTableBinding is:
    Look up source for JUTableBinding in your setup. (It'd be in (JDEVHOME)\bc4j\src\bc4juisrc.zip
    Save a copy in your current project in the project's source path maintaining the class's package structure - save the file into sourcepath\oracle\jbo\uicli\jui\JUTableBinding.java
    Replace the existing valueChanged method with the following:
          public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent event)
             try
                ListSelectionModel listSelModel = (ListSelectionModel) event.getSource();
                if (mSelRowInProg || listSelModel.getValueIsAdjusting())
                   return;
                RowIterator iter = getRowIterator();
                if (!listSelModel.isSelectionEmpty())
                   if (iter == null)
                      return;
                   int selectTabRowIndex = listSelModel.getMinSelectionIndex();
                   if (getFormBinding() != null)
                      ((JUPanelBinding)getFormBinding()).callBeforeRowNavigated(getIteratorBinding());
                   int idx = selectTabRowIndex - iter.getRangeStart();
                   if (idx >= iter.getRangeSize())
                      idx = idx - iter.getRangeSize() + 1;
                      iter.scrollRange(idx);
                      idx = selectTabRowIndex - iter.getRangeStart();
                   else if (idx < 0)
                      iter.scrollRange(idx);
                      idx = 0;
                   iter.setCurrentRowAtRangeIndex(idx);
             catch(Exception ex)
                reportException(ex);
                refresh(true /*selectRow*/);
    This is a really heavy bug making the whole JUTableBinding useless... any comments on this? :((

    You might consider restoring to factory specs, as detailed in the booklet that shipped witht the machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot, and then reinstalling those new programs. i've not moved pictures, so you could always give that a shot.
