On my Hardy upgrade I also got the 'Kaffiene installer loop'. But I also got another dialogue:
"xine Message - Kaffiene Player The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)" I found that the link for /dev/dvd did not exist, but the 'xine Engine Parameters' pointed to it. A link '/dev/dvd1' did exist, and pointing the 'xine Engine Parameters->media->Beginner Options->dvd.device' at it fixed both symptoms - 'the codec install loop' & 'the can't be read'. Beware, you seem to need to click 'Apply' before leaving the xine Engine dialogue, otherwise the changes made are lost. -- [hardy] kaffeine loops on "Codec package is already installed" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to kaffeine in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
