hi,

updated yesterday to 12.3 (via zypper) and now each time i reboot /run/users/$ID/pulse is owned by root. therefore pulseaudio won’t start and i’ve got no sound. manually correcting this and manually starting pulse works. anyone got an idea how this happens?

opensuse 12.3
Kernel 3.7.10-1.1-desktop
Nvidia tainted…
enlightenment 0.17.1 (same with Xfce)

so apperently starting pulseaudio via

pulseaudio -D

changes the owner of that folder. do i have to start pulse as root? never did that before…

and running

pulseaudio --check

gives me the error

E: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/1000/pulse): Permission denied

Strange.
I would try removing sound in yast, then activating it again.
Just a wild guess.

I show this is setup as so on my system, user james:

drwx------ (700) 2 james users  60 Apr  2 18:32 dconf
dr-x------ (500) 2 james users   0 Apr  2 18:32 gvfs
drwx------ (700) 2 james users 100 Apr  2 18:32 pulse

I use this bash script: S.A.F.P. - SUSE Automated File Permissions - Version 1.0.4 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

And then this command:

safp /run/user/1000/

You could give us the same output on your PC.

Thank You,
