I discovered that Paranoia uses _two_ devices to work its magic. So, if your CD-ROM is on /dev/scd0, Paranoia will want to use /dev/sg0 also. Permissions for both must, of course, allow you read/write access. On my system, it was the sg device that I couldn't get to; I changed its group to cdrom, which is probably not completely kosher, but it works :) I also tried telling audiocd to use /dev/sg0, but it didn't like that. It worked when I put in /dev/scd0. It also worked for me with auto-detection, and I have two CD-ROMs (one is a CD burner). -- Michael Ashton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom.

audiocd protocol yet again
Hello, I've seen that it has been asked before, but still I don't get the "audiocd:/" protocol to work. I get the error message "The file of directory / does not exist." I'm using ide-scsi and the sg module is loaded. It doesn't make a difference for this error message, whether /dev/sg0 is readable or not. Also, XMMS does work. I'm using an automounter for /cdrom (symlinked to /var/autofs/cdrom/cdrom), but this should not interfere. Any hints where I may look for causes?

I can't see why you would want to not include a user into one of these groups. Could it not be part of the installation to ask if all users should be included in groups like audio and such?

Re: Shockwave flash in Konqueror
You wrote: > My main concern actually is that without it a visit to a flash > site causes Konqueror spawn a number of windows going to the > flash download page.. What qt package are you using? I used to have a similar problem, and eventually tracked it down to the fact that I was using the libqt2-gl (which has support for the Qt OpenGL extension, but which is unnecessary for 99% of OpenGL apps to work, including all the KDE OpenGL screensavers) package rather than straight libqt2. According to discussions on the main KDE lists, there seems to be some kind of namespace conflict between the flash plugin and qt-gl, which causes the flash plugin to try and call an OpenGL function rather than its own internal function, which happens to share the same name. As these functions are for quite different purposes, the function fails, and this causes nspluginviewer (the process which runs the flash plugin and is then embedded in Konqueror) to crash. This then triggers the 'missing plugin' procedure in the netscape plugin interface, which pops up a Konqui window (or several) pointing at the Macromedia download page. Qt 2.3.1 also apparently contains a number of fixups regarding handling of netscape plugins in Konqueror, however the conflict between qt-gl and the flash plugin still remains. Hopefully we'll see a proper resolution of this problem eventually, but it won't come without a bit of restructuring of the netscape plugin handling in Konqui. -- marm

Eh? I don't understand - why does this make a difference? Embedded will usually be used for cross-compiling, not for the main system. It has nothing to do with FHS. You'd want Embedded to live in its own tree if you're doing development with it. I think the embedded packages are of very little use if they exclude all the other Qt devel packages - unless you never do development with desktop Qt and embedded Qt on the same machine. -- Michael Ashton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom.

I have it working here. The "trick" was to install the FLASH files to one of the directories scanned by Konqueror for plugins and have it re-scan for plugins. The appropriate menu in Konqueror to do this is in "Settings > Configure Konqueror > [Netscape Icon] > Scan Tab". Mine already had a list of directories to scan, including my Mozilla directory (/usr/lib/mozilla-9.1/plugins) and Netscape. You probably have to "enable plugins globally" under the same menu > Konqueeror Browser Icon > Plugins TAb if you want it available to all usersdunno, but I did it here & it "works".
