arts and kdm problems under fedora 7

[Olaf Mueller]

Hello,

under fedora 7 and kde 3.5.6 I could not login with kdm via a remote
connection (xdmcp). This works with gdm and also works under fc6 with
kdm. If I replace the fedora 7 /usr/bin/kdm with this one from fc6,
then the remote login works. Is this a bug in kdm of fedora 7?


Under fc6 several users could login on the same computer via xdmcp and
kdm, and all have sound. I reach this with the following lines:

cd /dev/
chmod 0666 dsp* audio* midi* mixer* sequencer* beep admm* \
adsp* aload* amidi* dmfm* dmmidi* sndstat rtc sequencer*
chown root.532 dsp* audio* midi* mixer* sequencer* beep admm* \
adsp* aload* amidi* dmfm* dmmidi* sndstat rtc sequencer*
chmod 0666 snd/*
chown root.532 snd/*

Under fedora 7 only the user has sound who is local log in (with kdm,
not via remote). All other users log in via remote (xdmcp) get the
folowing error from aRts:

device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

How can I reach that all users log in, remote and local, get sound like
this works under fc6?

Thank you.


regards
Olaf

This was a lucky hack, at best. :)

Instead of hacking permissions, edit/fix /etc/console.perms and/or put
something under /etc/console.perms.d/

In addition, there may be something going on here related to ConsoleKit.
