I had no fstab entry for shm in my debian etch (testing) system. So /dev/shm had wrong permission. I don't now if this is a bug in the jackd pachage. However, if I do one of these three things I get the right permission so jack can start from normal user: 1) Add to fstab: shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 2) manually mont shm with: # mount -t tmpfs shm /dev/shm 3) change the permissions: # chomd a+rwx /dev/shm So use 1) for now (as suggested by Mark previously). Is this the best solution on debian? (Not that I don't trust Mark, but only to ask if debian has a specific behaviour here). [OT] I don't have a devpts entry in fstab, should debian must have one? (infact I currently have to manually mount devpts to open a subshell, for example CRTL+O in mc). [/OT] Thanks again. Best Regards, ~ Antonio
