Hi , I am trying to execute pacmd commands through from remote pc via ssh. Unfortunately i can ssh with root user only. As pulseaudio is not started in root user i cant issue pacmd/pactl command. I tried to start --system. but same. Is there any way to execute pacmd comamnds from root shell but pa started in non root user. ----- [root at dhcp-10-132-69-38 ~]# ps aux | grep pulse gdm 2935 0.0 0.1 579004 7400 ?

[root at dhcp-xx ~]# su svt -c 'pacmd list' XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/0) is not owned by us (uid 1000), but by uid 0! (This could e g happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon. With Non root user everything works fine. Thanks
