kaffeine hangs with "waiting for disk"
I have a Hauppauge Card for DVB-S. When I watched before kaffeine no problem, I changed the mainboard, the application works but, if I change channel it does not work. Further strangeness, on channel sound works, another channel perfect picture, no sound. When trying to switch channel the app hangs. Now that goes on: trying to kill the PID in question gives nothing. Within the ksysguard you get feedback "waiting for disk". How can I discern if this is a) firmware, b) software or c) hardware related. How could I kill that process? It goes away if I reboot, but I cannot kill it apparently. What is also puzzling: nothing apparent or related to kaffeine in the logs. Any clue were I should begin to search? Thank you.

You could try starting it from inside a terminal instead. It could print error messages to the terminal. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
