@fanthom
I am able to login using Always Fresh mode. But when I use my boot line with toroot then it is not working.
I see that the .asoundrc file is not copied to the /home/guest folder.

so maybe it's a matter of replacing /home/guest with /root?
will update the skype module this evening and make it work for root also.

could you point me to where should i look for the lines to change?

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# skype 
Configuring audio...
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory

@cttan
this bug is fixed now - only KDE4 and Razor were affected, weird that you were the only one who reported it.

please download updated module from here:
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/current/mo ... -skype.xzm

btw: compat32lib module is not needed to run this version of skype

thanks

Hi fanthom,

I'm from the slax background so I like toroot very much. I guess I'm the only one around and use KDE. Most would have chosen other DE. Most of the people would be on guest account.

Bad news is the updated module still having error:-

Code: Select all

oot@porteus:~# skype
Configuring audio...
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory
W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/root/.config/pulse/cookie': No such file or directory
W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/root/.pulse-cookie': No such file or directory
W: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/root/.pulse-cookie': No such file or directory
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.
WARNING!! You audio is not properly configured!! Edit ~/.asoundrc and fix it

root@porteus:~# ps aux | grep pulseaudio

checked once again on KDE4 with being logged in as root: everything works.

do you have a sound in your KDE4? can you watch YT videos with sound?
please run in 'Always Fresh' mode -> download and activate 08-skype.xzm then check again.

thanks

Hi fanthom,
FInally I got the Skype 4.3 successfully started when using login=root once. :Yahoo!:
But most of the time when I boot up I'm getting /usr/bin/skype: line 26: 15316 Segmentation fault

At least we can confirm the module is working.

Thank you for your time.

Hi fanthom,

FYI I found out that when I enable compat32, the Skype able to start up and I'm able to see the PulseAudio Server in the Sound Menu.

I'm using copy2ram login=root and no changes.
