Hi guys. How, if possible at all, to get audio/sound work when you switched to a different user? I'm thinking here of 'sudo' & 'su' but would be happy of any other way to run GUI apps with user ID different from currently "normally" logged in. many thanks, L.

Hi guy If I understand correctly, you are wanting to achieve something similar to what I achived with the following service file. My problem was: run Thunderbird under a different user from the one logged in: in /etc/systemd/system/thunderbird.service <snip> [Unit] Description=thunderbird [Service] Environment=DISPLAY=:0.0 Environment=LC_TIME=en_DK.utf-8 ExecStart=/usr/bin/thunderbird User=cvs [Install] WantedBy=graphical.target </snip>> Run this service with the command: systemctl start thunderbird which you might place into a launcher on your desktop. Because you change users, you will have to give your password, when you start the service. suomi

If you actually do a graphical switch user from the login screen, then audio will work. Doing it with sudo or su is more difficult, but might work. You have to set the environment variables so that the audio server can be found and you might have to also set permissions on the pipes.
