<< < (2/2)

EDIT: I managed to fix it here, run the following as root:


--- Code: ---usermod -G audio user
--- End code ---

to add the user 'user' to the audio group.

Thanks, nls, fixed it. =)  Those new to linux -- Be sure to enter the "su" command before this (the password is 'rockbox' and this isnt needed if you are logged in as root), then you may run the usermod command. A restart of the virtual machine is necessary before this takes affect.  Re-login for the changes to take affect.

Where did you find that (entirely wrong) information ? You just need to log in again

How is it entirely wrong? It worked for me.  Just trying to add a little bit more info on the subject for those (like myself) who are unfamiliar with linux.  Logging in would be faster, im sure, but it took me under 30 seconds to restart the VM.

If you had just said "One way to effect the change is to restart the virtual machine" it would have been factual, but you said it "is necessary".
