Non-admin users can not play music

[Jason]

Ubuntu 8.04
Rhythmbox 0.11.5

Non-admin user logs in, rips a CD track with Brasero, or downloads an MP3. Attempting to play the song yields an error icon (no explanation, Rhythmbox simply refuses to play the song). Switching to an admin user account using fast user switching and running Rhythmbox, then logging out and returning to the original non-admin account resolves the problem until the user logs out.

This happened previously and was resolved and some time over the course of about the last 3 months of patches the problem has returned.

Thank you for reporting a bug.

We would like to know if you are still experiencing this problem.

Hi.

Could you give us the return of the "id" command launched with the user without the admin rights ?

Could you provide us a screenshot with the error.

[Cyril Lavier (davromaniak)]

I've tested with a user called "sauv", which is not admin :

sauv@bendigo:~$ id
uid=1001(sauv) gid=1001(sauv) groupes=20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),29(audio),30(dip),46(plugdev),104(scanner),106(fuse),1001(sauv)

Attached to this bug, this is the return of "rhythmbox -d"

Bug confirmed, but I don't have an error with a window, rhythmbox purely and simply crashed.
