 |
|
Hi,
I can not find a sufficient answer in the forums, so I would like someone to help please:
I have done an emerge -uavD recently and since then
1. The system do not detect my souncard
2. I do not have access to removeable media (Both USB and CDROM) - No automounting nothing
3. The plasma battery monitor believes that there is no batery present in my notebook (Odd  )
When I start KDE as root however, everything is working the way it should.
Maybe I need to add my username to a specific group? I belong to the following groups:
| Code: |
knapie@knapie ~ $ groups
wheel audio cdrom games cdrw users portage knapie kvm vboxusers vnstat
|
Any Ideas?

1. How does it happen ? As for permissions normally it's enough to be in 'audio' group, are you using pulseaudio or such ? it has it's own groups

2. You need to be a member of 'plugdev' group, also 'usb'.. |

| Try adding yourself to plugdev and usb. Also, probably not related but you might also want to add yourself to video group too |

Thank you for the help. Seems like the plugdev group was the culprit.
I just do not understand why that group disappeared. (Assuming that I did belong to plugdev as the system used to work previously!) |
