It should show you something like: 14:16 $sudo setupenv.sh This script checks the environment on your system so that PBButtons would work with all features also if it was launched as normal user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You started this script as superuser root. That means that all nessecary changes could be done automatically by this script. -> Do you want to continue? (y/N): y checking new input layer: active [ ok ] checking /dev/input: exists, user readable [ ok ] checking /dev/input/event0: exists, root access only [ ok ] adjust permissions to 'user readable' ... done checking /dev/input/event1: exists, root access only [ ok ] adjust permissions to 'user readable' ... done checking /dev/input/event2: exists, root access only [ ok ] adjust permissions to 'user readable' ... done checking /dev/input/event3: exists, root access only [ ok ] adjust permissions to 'user readable' ... done checking /dev/pmu: exists, root access only [ ok ] adjust permissions to 'user writable' ... done checking /dev/mixer: exists, group writable [ ok ] adjust permissions to 'user writable' ... done The 'problematic' and 'failed' issues have been tried to set correctly. Start this script again to check if it was completely successfull. Check this out and please mail the output! HTH Jan -- .''`.
