'Twas brillig, and Lennart Poettering at 13/05/09 19:10 did gyre and gimble: >> That leaves the issue of pulseaudio not working and saying ""failed to >> create secure directory: permission denied" when ~/.pulse is a symlink >> to somewhere on the local harddisk.

If you really want to make ~/.pulse a local filesystem, you could bind mount it before starting pulse but after mounting NFS e.g. Run once: sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/home/$USER/.pulse sudo chown -R $USER.$USER /usr/local/home/$USER Run at every boot: sudo mount -o bind /usr/local/home/$USER/.pulse $HOME/.pulse (make sure the perms are correct on both the mountpoint and the real directory!) That should work, but is a bit of a hick work around. Hopefully the newly available tdm support will make this unnecessary. (FWIW, *my* NFS based gdbm files are about 24k so :p to you!) -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
