[Bug 707534] New: openSuSE 12.1 as a user - flash fails as root it works
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707534 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707534#c0 Summary: openSuSE 12.1 as a user - flash fails as root it works Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Milestone 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: n5xwb@comcast.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110708 Firefox/8.0a1 Flash will not work as a user but does as root. The same site projects the image correctly as root but not as a user. It appears to be a permission headache. I remeber a time when using root was considered a bad idea and stay as a user when on the net. This is a x86-64 machine and I run in runlevel 3 not 5. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.call up thunderbird and get your mail 2.Click on a site that has a flash video 3.Note as it comes up the lack of some of the thing. Actual Results: it comes up the lack of flash video things. Like weather maps and news site video. Expected Results: I would expect flash to work as a user and not need to login as root It seems this is another user permission or security problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Many headaches are coming from not running runlevel 5. I only work in runlevel 3 and I see this kind of problem all the time. As a matter of fact try runlevel 3 and see if KDE4 sound works as a user. It has been fixed here with 11.4 last issue and 12.1 but failed before those. But dev/sr0 the last time I checked it with k3b and xine failed based on the 660 for /dev/sr0 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To let everyone know it turned out to be a bad shutdown that caused my flash problem. I was in /home/me/.mozilla/firefox in a file which I am going to track down. However, my openSuSE permission guess was incorrect.
Does this mean this bug is solved? If yes, please close it ;-) (or upload the file causing the problem) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It was loaded with garbage text. So I removed it and it is now working -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
