installed moonlight to watch a stream and it just was buffering and then eventually just closed. Primary error I saw was
"
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
"
Any ideas? I saw some stuff from Google, but the files they are talking about i cant seem to see on my system. So I thought Id ask you guys
64bit 12.3 suse hurr.
The permissions for that file are
martinh@sirius:~> ll /dev/nvidiactl
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 26. Apr 12:38 /dev/nvidiactl
martinh@sirius:~>
confirm that it is the same on your system and if it is your user is
most likely member of the video group. Add it to the video group, logout
from your graphical session log in again and try it again.

So what does it look like?
In Firefox. It will play for a little bit (but with no border or anything around the video with the options to fullscreen, change volume etc.) eventually stalling then closing.
in chromium it wont even load up just buffers.
