Works fine for me. Although on second thought it's with the stuff from 
PLF, not just the stock version from MDK.
I've watched several DVDs and numerous clips from the web with it 
without problems.
Basically if Xine works, Totem should work as well. It's mostly just a 
change of interface.
As for MP3 files, I use Zinf, so I haven't tried Totem. 


There is a bug in libxine and some alsa drivers that has been corrected 
in the CVS. Update to the new libxine1 rpms that are in PLF (add PLF 
medium with http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon), they are the rc2 and include 
the patch.

I just tried to create a new account and I got the mail in about 2
seconds.  Have you tried the "send new password function?  This will
tell you if it thinks you even have an account.

Ok, I just attempted to join anthill, and start writing up some of my own 
bugs. Now that I have joined the system, I can't seem to get a password out 
of it.

Any thoughts?

I don't want to do so, just checked if others do have similar problems. 
I don't want, because of:

I can't reproduce it, since it is not my machine
I can't give more information (not my machine)
I can't find the problem, that caused the issues. 

Maybe we can find the place to make a paralell installation and iron the 
bugs out together with that friend. I'll see.

I have been told that this was a kernel bug,no explanation for the
assigning of mount points the next time I rebooted in spite of hitting
cancel to the config tools,Once I manually editted fstab and deleted
excess mount points it has been ok.

Once I got k3b to point to the first reader and the first burner it
works ok for me with a toshiba reader and a Toshiba DVD/CDRW, even thogh
it shows 6 of each and I can't seem to remove any of the nonexistant
drives.

I have what I believe is a SoundBlaster 128 which works Ok with both OSS

Can't help with the other issues..

Hi !

I have installed 9.2 PP d/L on a friends machine and got some massive 
problems. He is now running 9.1 again, but i thought it might be worth 
to share experiences. 

a) totem crashed immediatly but was standard app for playing mp3's. I 
don't know why it crashed, does it run stable for anyone ?

b) multiple lun: After adding the dvd-reader to ide-scsi, the machine 
got 7 readers and 7 burners = scd0 - scd13. According to him "options 
scsi_mod scsi_man_luns=1" in etc/modules.conf didn't helped. The reader 
is a toshiba, the burner a teac 512eb. 

c) acpi/powersaving: after a while w/o working on that machine suspend 
of the machine kicked in. Moving the mouse or pressing some keys didn't 
get it back, trying to reset didn't work either, trying the 
powerswitch, didn't work, unplug the power cord didn't work. Only 
resetting the board completly brought it back till the next suspend. In 
lilo.conf is acpi=ht (what does this mean ?). Its a MSI kt266 board 
with Athlon TB 1333. 

d) k3b 0.9 crashed immediatly (maybe because of the lot drives ?) 
0.10.99 aka cvs started but hung on burning and took the Xserver with 
it. 

e) sound: He has an soundblaster soundcard. The default OSS driver 
didn't work really good (crappy sound) , switching it to alsa did help 
a lot here

Hmmm i would cover this experiment as failed :(  9.1 works flawless 
for him compared to this. The LG issue i haven't mentiones, we changed 
the drive for testing and later updating.
