Greetings, |

|
3 |
still hunting down the reasons for my laptop not producing any sound, I |
4 |
have meanwhile found reports on the web "no sound even though root is in |
5 |
group audio" or "Dbus doesn't "care" who root is -- it checks the ident- |
6 |
ity of the account that requested an action, and if that account isn't |
7 |
allowed to perform that action, the request is denied" [1]. |

|

I can't remember ever having manually added user "root" to any groups |
10 |
since I installed Gentoo on my laptop (as opposed to adding my own user- |
11 |
id to quite some groups)m and these are the few groups "root" is into: |
12 |
|
13 |
$ id root |
14 |
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),11(floppy),26(tape),27(video) |
15 |
$ |
16 |
|
17 |
Should there be more? In particular, should "root" be in group "audio"? |
18 |
|

Sincerely, |
