Re: What's the fix if an app will only run in root?

I run a program called ifpgui. Its a graphical interface to control an iRiver MP3 player. Was no problem in suse 10.2. Under 10.3, it runs but cannot communicate with the USB player. It runs perfect in root or when launched from a superuser terminal. Whats the fix for something that only wants to run in root?
Maybe: If you use KDE, go root, right click on ifpgui icon, select properties, select permissions. You should now be able to change the user name from root to your name. make sure that the permissions say Read and Write. Turn on execute if necessary. Save.
Don.
Keep smiling.
