Re: Konqueror (Audio CD Browser) causes system freezes

2004-06-14 Thread Elad Lahav
I'm having the same problems. Every once in a while, the system decides to 
insmod several modules, among which are sbpcd, mcd and sjcd. It seems that 
mcd is the one that locks-up the system for several seconds.
I've removed these modules, as a temporary solution. Does anyone know what 
process attempts to load these modules?

Konqueror (Audio CD Browser) causes system freezes

Hello all,

I have done a clean install of unstable using the Debian Installer.
When I opened Konqueror as file browser I got system freezes. It looks
like this was caused by the Audio CD Browser which was causing insmod of
modules that are wrong for my system (drivers for weird CD drives).
It looks like the freeze occurs only during the last probes
(see the syslog below).

I have solved the problem by adding the following lines in /etc/modutils:
alias block-major-15 off
alias block-major-17 off
alias block-major-18 off
alias block-major-23 off
alias block-major-24 off
alias block-major-25 off

But I guess this kind of behaviour would confuse the hell out of a newby.

So, is this a problem in KDE and should a bug be filed?

TIA, Frans


My system is i686 with the standard Debian 2.4.25 kernel image:
Linux sauron 2.4.25-1-686 #1 Tue Feb 24 10:55:59 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

I have 2 CD drives in my system: a regular ide-cdrom and a CD-Writer on 
ide-scsi.
Both are configured normally and working fine.
