[expert] Are there any Audio CD Player using digital Extraction
Hello All, Recently, I asked why can't I get audio when I play an audio CD on a Compaq Presario 5000, and it was answered by Tim Dreessen when he suggested that the audio is not connected to the CDROM. I contacted Compaq to ask where the adio pins on the motherboard are (built in audio), and their reply was that there are none! They said I should be using Windows because it uses digital audio extraction. Sorry for the long intro, but does anyone know of a Linux CD player that uses digital Audio extraction. I am not looking for a CD ripping app. I just want to listen to CD when I'm working. Thanks George
Re: [expert] icons disappered
You can try to rebuild the kde desktop. If I suppose the problem appears with a user named user1 do that: open a terminal as user su - Password: (root password here) rm -r /home/user1/.kde -f exit Then login as user1 and let kde rebuild. This was a help for Civileme to me, because after runing gnomba in a kde desktop there were some icons absent and other doubles. That worked for me fine.

It fixed a similar problem for me, once after installing a new version of KDE, and again after installing some software. This was back when I was still running 7.2 though.

Re: [expert] Use Java in Konqueror problem

[expert] xinted make dependency problem?
I'm trying to compile xinetd without tcp-wrapper support. But I made the mistake of compiling it the first time with libwrap support. After that, make doesn't seem to do anything productive. running: # ./configure --with-libwrap produces the following output: [lots of discarded lines] checking whether to use libwrap... no [lots of discarded lines] # ./configure --without-libwrap produces the following output: [lots of discarded lines] checking whether to use libwrap... yes [lots of discarded lines] So it appears configure knows what I want. But when I run make, it doesn't recompile any sources or relink. The object files and executable are not rebuilt. If I remove all the object files to force it to recompile and link, all is ok. I'm new to this. Am I missing something? Thanks Karl Cunningham

Re: [expert] compiling mandrake8 kernel
sets up /etc/modules.conf which is used to make an initial ram disk that loads the modules it needs.

Re: [expert] bash_profile and /etc/profile don't work?
Hello. Yes I did do an export. It is prepended to the path statement in my own .bash_profile AND it is in the path statement in /etc/profile. My .bash_profile statement starts: export PATH=PATH:/usr/local/BMRT/bin:... etc. If I do this same thing from the commandline, it works and for that session my BMRT directory is known. Reboot and it is lost. I also tried the path.sh trick as described. Didn't work. I created the file, made it executable, placed it in /etc/profile.d and rebooted. So...with all the following I am still missing my desired additions to my path when I run env: PATH in /etc/profile contains /usr/local/BMRT/bin and it starts with export. My personal .bash_profile contains the same path statement addtion. And finally, an executable placed in /etc/profile.d named path.sh with the same path export statement all still fail to change my environment. I DON'T UNDERSTAND! Somewhere on this infernal box is a path statement which is setting it up for me and all users. I cannot find it - I would like to change it so a few new directories are in the path for all users. It used to be /etc/profile which contained the penultimate path statement - but no more. Apparently, .bash_profile doesn't serve any purpose (on my box at least). I have to manually do an export desired path from a CLI to get it to change but then, it is ONLY for that session.
