Hmm, I'm not getting something.
me at machine:/usr/local/bin$ ls -l dvdplayer-launcher.sh
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 1578 2007-08-19 21:02 dvdplayer-launcher.sh
The group and owner are both root and I did a chmod +s on the script.
Still xine refuses to launch from the myth ui. Am I misunderstanding
something fundamental?
Thanks,
Jon
