Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alsa-utils
...While trying to store modified mixer settings on a remote machine
over ssh:
sa...@hotrod:~$ sudo alsactl store
Home directory /home/sauer not ours.
sa...@hotrod:~$ sudo HOME=/root alsactl store
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
XOpenDisplay() failed
sa...@hotrod:~$ sudo -i
r...@hotrod:~# alsactl store
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
XOpenDisplay() failed
It seems like the store command shouldn't need to open an X11
connection. Ultimately, I changed the permissions on
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state to be owned by the audio group and group
writable - which actually seems like a reasonable thing to do outside of
this bug. :)
sa...@hotrod:~$ lsb_release -sd
Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
sa...@hotrod:~$ apt-cache policy alsa-utils
