Alert! audiocd:/ error ahead!
Ok, small bug I have found in 8.1 and the konqueror audiocd slave. It seems I only get errors when trying to access audio cds to rip some songs. It worked great in 8.0, but seems to be broken in 8.1 now. I found some mails in the archive about the same type of problem and everyone seems to think it was a permissions error. Don't know if that fixed the problem the other gentleman was having, but it doesn't appear to be mine!
My cdrom points to /dev/sr1, while my cdrecorder points to /dev/sr0 and both are owned by me and the group is "disk". Read & Write permissions are set for both the user and group and I have even added myself to the "disk" group to see if that would cure the problem which it didn't.
Any other suggestions here? Anyone else run up against this error? This is what I get:
An error occured while loading audiocd:/:
The file or directory / does not exist.
Patrick ============================
Ok, all, for your reading pleasure, I seem to have found the problem with this audiocd thingy! It would appear that the audiocd slave uses /dev/sg0 or /dev/sg1 to read the audio cds. If you have one drive then do sg0, but if you have two, then do both drives so it can autodetect the drive and use either. Change the permissions these devices to your user and disk with rw permissions on both. There ya go, problem solved. I guess the 8.1 update changed those two files back to root and disk without my permission! ;o) Thanks for any brain power already exerted on this matter. Hope that maybe helps others in running down the same problem. Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206
