What permissions do you have on ~/.mpd/ ?
drwxr-xr-x 2 pat users 4096 2010-11-27 10:11 .mpd
Interestingly, my permissions are more permissive, including write + execute for the group as well. drwxrwxr-x 4 bob users 4096 2010-11-27 15:03 /home/bob/.mpd This is because of advice seen in the various forums I've reviewed. I don't _need_ mpd to work, as mplayer plays my music just fine, but it's extremely frustrating to find that something doesn't work, and not know why. As my son says "Frustrating. You know the computer is right and you're wrong of course (I have this experience everyday)." Anyway, many thanks for your input, Patrick. I shall continue to worry at this problem until it or me gives up :) Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.3 64-bit, Kernel 2.6.36.90-desktop, KDE 4.5.3 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 8GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9600GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
