Re: OT, Ubuntu Sound Trouble
Can anyone tell me why I get permission problems on the below command?
I found this command on-line while searching for any sort of solution to get
audio back:
sudo pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle
I made it into a bash script and ran
sudo bash file.sh
Here's a copy of the command and the error:
lenny@lenny-desktop:~$ sudo bash unmutetoggle.sh
graphic 192 Home directory not accessible: Permission denied
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
graphic 545 lenny@lenny-desktop:~$

You wouldn't get the feedback since it's over ssh.
