IIRC, this has already been discussed here, but somehow I failed to find the right threads in the archives. :-( So, on a new freshly installed&updated F8 system working in runlevel 3, two problems struck me. 1) Sound does not work: alsamixer, aplay, mplayer, xmms, kmix, whatever..., say that they don't have permissions (I am not at the machine atm, sorry for missing exact error report). If i start KDE/Gnome, everything just works like magic. I did try naively to fiddle with perms of /dev/dsp, but that doesn't work. 2) Automounting doesn't work: if I put a cd in the drive, flash mem in usb port, or similar, a mount point is not created in /media and the media is not mounted. Again, if I work inside KDE/Gnome, this does work. I know that KDE and Gnome have their own facilities for this, but I need it working in rl3. What am I supposed to configure, and what is the Right Way to configure it? Thanks! Best, :-) Marko
