Hi, Some more info on the broken AUDIOCD support in KDE 3.4 in SUSE 9.3. I have now done 5 SUSE 9.3 installs and have observed that in each install on an SMP (Dual P-III 1.0GHz and 1.266GHz) system yields a sys that cannot do AUDIOCD. But each Uni-processor install yields a working AUDIOCD sub-sys. Further I have found that on the non-working systems that if one runs the install DVD and selects "Repair..." the automatic repair option notes that "DBUS-1 & HAL & POSTFIX" have problems that need repair. If you select "REPAIR These Selections" the process runs to completion and there are no indications that the repairs have not been sucessful. But if you run DVD1> Repair> Automatic Repair again it will again tell you that "DBUS-1 & HAL & POSTFIX" have problems. The same problems. I have submitted this to SUSE via "Feedback" and YASTs "Post a support query" Process. SUSE has replied that they don't accept installation support via YAST even if YAST has that process, and they have replied that they do not consider this problem covered under the "Installation Support" sys. Go Figure! I have systems that the installation process has given me broken systems that cannot do what my 9.2 systems do, but this "is not an install issue". Has anyone else seen this broken AUDIOCD issue or seen YAST> Repair> process indicate problems in DBUS, HAL or POSTFIX? On Uni as well as SMP systems? PeterB

Not sure what you mean by broken. Can't play them? Can't rip them. Can't see them in Konq? My dual AMD system fires them up just fine with kscd.

This is my third install on a dual system all with smp kernels, and all work just fine. As for the DBUS thing, I've not seen that. Course I haven't looked as I've not needed to try the repair.

When you put an audio CD into the drive and you open Konqi, hit F9 for File Mgr mode, then click the 'Services" icon (on the leftmost vert bar, bottom icon [red]) then click AUDIOCD. I see mgs saying "An error occurred while loading AUDIOCD:/" On a working 9.3 install the sys retrieves the CDDB info for the audio CD, displayes it, shows folders for OGG FLAC CDA and information. If you want to encode the tracks just drag them to the dir where you want them saved. This is the heart of my music collection and it hurts to not have it avail.

Hi Mike, Just for laughs why not try booting from DVD1 and selecting REPAIR and see what happens? Also put in an audio CD and see if Konqi can present it to the user? Thanks for your interest! ..................... PeterB

When I brought up Konq, I hit the button for services down the side. It brought up a bunch of things including audiocd:/ And when selected, it showed the cd and all it's data/files. Don't know what to say.

It did. At least from the way I went about it. I didn't use the F9 thing that you suggested. It was actually mounted at /media/dvd, when I selected it.

See above. And I don't think I'll try the repair thing.. ;-) Mike -- Powered by SuSE 9.3 Kernel 2.6.11 KDE 3.4.0 Kmail 1.8 For Mondo/Mindi backup support go to http://www.mikenjane.net/~mike 4:03pm up 1 day 19:58, 4 users, load average: 2.46, 3.14, 3.73
