[Bug 1926641] Re: FFADO 2.4.4 only runs properly with sudo

 

No refusal, just that I got this information meanwhile from FFADO
maintainer (before I got around reporting it at Debian) and it solved it
for me. So I shared that it here because perhaps it is not a bug at all.

I have also been relaying feedback from the FFADO maintainer on issues
reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffado as he
doesn't have an account at Launchpad. This might close a lot of those
bugs.

Title:
  FFADO 2.4.4 only runs properly with sudo

Status in libffado package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Starting FFADO 2.4.4 from the menu does not list a device and reports
  in the GUI the following error:

  Somehow the connection to the dbus-service of FFADE couldn't be
  established.

  and had the log message:

  logginghandler: Could not communicate with the FFADO DBus service...

  When starting FFADO from the command line with

  sudo ffado-mixer-qt4

  no error is reported and the sound device is listed and usable.

  Please, fix that the default/normal user that can change sound
  settings can also use FFADO directly when launching it from the menu.
