[newbie] CD playing on Upgraded KDE 3.3.2 broken.
Hello, I wonder if someone could help me with a broken KDE 3.3.2 please. The story is that a working 10.1 Official with KDE 3.2 was upgraded using Konstruct to KDE 3.3.2 which appeared to go ok. Before the upgrade kaudiocreator, Amarok and cd playing worked ok. However after the upgrade these are now broken. In general the sound works ok, startup/shutdown sounds play ok. KAudioCreator fails with could not start process unable to create io-slave: klauncher says unknown protocol audiocd. Amarok gives an error, could not find any sound-engine plugins. Mixer complains that library files for kcm_kmix.la not found in paths. In kde control centre, the menu option Audio CDs crashes with library files for kcm_audio.la not found in paths. I installed KDE 3.3.2 in /opt/kde3.3.2 and have not removed kde 3.2, could this be my problem? I tried adding /usr/lib/kde3 to my paths which is where kcm_kmix.la and kcm_audio.la are, but no joy. Any help appreciated.

Re: [newbie] CD playing? :-\
Yeah. I thought I already had a cable... but I can't find it newhere :-S. It's wierd, under windows I can just plug into the headphone jack on the CD player and it'll go fine, but I still can't get sound to come out of it w/ KsCD. U know where I could download Totem or one of those things? I have 9.1 and don't dare to put anything too much more advanced on this ol' computer, it runs slow enough after choosing 9.1 over 8.2. :-P On Tue, 2004-07-06 at 17:40, Kaj Haulrich wrote: On Tuesday 06 July 2004 22:09, Eric Scott wrote: I recently reinstalled Mandrake Linux 9.1 on my good ol' Pentium 1 @ 233Mhz.

While we're on the subject of CD playing, my sisters motherboard doesn't have connectors for the analog cable (damn Win-centric machines), so I have her using Kaffeine as default for CD and DVD playing (Totem has been removed so I have a consistent KDE-only desktop to support by phone). Of course, putting in a CD causes MagicDev to start up KsCD, which gives no sound. Any quick tips on making MagicDev run Kaffeine instead?

[newbie] CD Playing with home brewed SMP kernel
Hi, Just tried to play an audio CD and I get the following messages in my syslog and dialogue box on screen. Using Konq Services Audio CD Browser - The file or directory / does not exist, and the following message in syslog: Jul 24 23:47:30 faust modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-21 last message displayed N number of times With XMMS the play button opens up a dialouge box for file location etc, I enter /mnt/cdrom but no files or anything are displayed. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong, CD's play fine under Win2K on the same machine. Oh yes I did rebuild my Kernel for SMP and did do some pruning in the config of the kernel, hope I did not remove something vital ;-) The CD is on the onboard IDE channel2, primary, HD is on Promise Ultra66 card. Thanks for any tips. Richard. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
