Sound system problems, need help with change permissions (fixed, thanks)

[AljoshaNL]

Hello,

When I first logged in as a non-root user (it taked very long, I like to be root ), I got a sound error, when i tried to test my sound in the Control Panel the system reported the error again. I'm using SuSE 9.1, this is the error: (alexei is the name of my user account)
/tmp/mcop-alexei is not owned by user
Seems i need to change permission,
I just don't know how to do this...
Thanks in appreciation,

From a command prompt, do:

su -c "rm -rf /tmp/mcop-alexei"

That should remove the file and allow it to be recreated with the right permissions.

Alternatively, you can just take ownership of the file:

su -c "chown alexei /tmp/mcop-alexei"

It works
Problem solved...
I think I'm going to take a book to look up what the commands mean

Very much thanks
