SUSE 9.1 and Multimedia ( not good?)
Hi All This is my experience with Multimedia on 9.1. Probably a lot is my own fault, but I have to say that all of it worked great on 9.0 and even on an upgraded 9.1. ( but not on a clean 9.1). Real Player Cannot make a connection to the Internet. (worked before) Kscd, no sound ( worked perfect before) The only program which plays cd's is TOTEM and that occupies my whole (1GB) CPU. Xmms, for the love of it cannot play CD'S ( worked before) Burning Cd's (worked perfect before) K3b Xcd Roast Gnome cd master I can copy the cd , but when burning, it eats up all my memory (512) and part of my swap ( 1007). The computer starts spinning like a mad dog and a hard restart is required. Oh yes, that happens after only half of the cd. I haven't changed any HW. Is there anybody who has ( had ) the same sort of problems? -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

Ok Bill, four things jump out right away in your mail. 1. not a clean 9.1 (what's unclean about it?) 2. worked before (before what?) 3. worked before (before what?) 4. worked perfect before (before what?) Since all of these seem to work on my system, I must surmise that these all sound like user induced problems. My suggestion then would be for you to trace back to the point they worked before or reinstall. :o) Regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.82 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 I do everything my Rice Krispies tell me to do!

I had a perfect working system with no problems on 9.0. I upgraded to 9.1 and no changes., no problems. Had a run-in with kernel update and had to ( clean) install 9.1. After that , the problems as I described.
Since all of these seem to work on my system, I must surmise that these all sound like user induced problems.
As i said in my OM , it could well be my doing. If so , I need some help to solve this.

There was a thread on the KDE list not long ago about xmms and playing cd's and IIRC it was not solved. I have uninstalled/reinstalled programs several times but still the same. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

Well. it seems like I'm not the only one with CD burning problems. There is a thread on alt.os.linux.suse about this and it is blamed upon the last online update. So we just wait and see. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."
