ROOT PRIVILEGE ON MUSE
======================
Due to the security issue, the binary file of muse is installed without
setuid-root privilege.
MusE requires the root privilege for accessing the RTC (real-time clock)
device with higher resolution. Thus, if you start muse as default,
you'll hear only very slow playbacks.
For starting muse, please choose the following way:
1. Start via sudo
At first, you need to configure sudo to accept to start muse.
- Become root user and run visudo
% su
# visudo
- Add the following line:
your-login-name ALL = /usr/bin/muse
where your-login-name is the your login name.
- Exit visudo, and return to the normal user mode.
- Run muse via sudo
% sudo /usr/bin/muse
2. Set uid-root
(Note: this _might_ lead to a security problem, although it's not
known, so far.)
Run the following as root user:
# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/muse
Then muse will run always with root privilege.
REMOVAL OF STK PLUGINS
======================
Due to potential license problems, we removed stk plugins from rpm.
