Are you logged in under KDE or Gnome? FWIW, I've abandoned the BlueCurve desktop for straight KDE 3.1 because I got sick of trying to figure out what was and wasn't going to work right under RH's KDE. I really don't think RH put much effort into getting KDE working right under BlueCurve. If you're gonna run one of the RH stock desktops, use Gnome. It just works better with RH 8. If you like to play, grab the KDE 3.1 source and build it. I sure am glad I did.

Thanks for pointing me to kmix! this is probably an artsd thing.. if it fails again, see if artsd is running. if so kill it and try playing the CD again.. better yet. don't use kde, use some other something! (blackbox, xfce) and it will work all the time. -j ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
