[opensuse] 10.2 Xine problem
Hi folks, I have just performed a fresh/new install of SUSE 10.2 on an older machine completely overwriting a previous 10.0 install. I'm giving the computer to someone else and wanted everything to be the newest and figured there'd be less problems with a completely new install than with an upgrade. Anyway the problem is with playing audio CD's on a CD player using Xine or Kaffeine. Here's the symptoms. Under KDE Kaffeine starts up fine, plays a few seconds of the audio CD, ejects the CD and then says: "No plugin found to handle the resource [cdda:///dev/hdd/2]" Looking in the details I see: "xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [cdda:///dev/hdd/1]" and "xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [cdda:///dev/hdd/2" it did find plugins for CDDA hdd is linked to the CD player as far as I can tell. I have updated all my multimedia stuff via Packman. Stuff I have seen on the web relates to DVD players and didn't seem to apply. There was one suggestion about rug for Suse 10.1 that didn't seem to help. Using the mass update newer packages trick in Yast doesn't seem to help. Yast says all is hunky dory. I'm at a loss Here's a few particulars on the system: packman source http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.2 from an rpm -qa *xine* libxine1-1.1.3-0.pm.0 libxine1-arts-1.1.3-0.pm.0 amarok-xine-1.4.4-28 xine-ui-0.99.4cvs-20061123.pm.0 CPU Intel Celeron (Coppermine) 800 Mhz Sound Card: Intel 82801AA-ICH CD Reader: FX4831T Using driver PIIX_IDE (/dev/hdd /dev/cdrom) CD Writer: DX-CDRW using driver PIIX_IDE (/dev/hdc /dev/cdrecorder) Vendor IN-CDRW Memory (RAM): 383 Megabytes Kaffeine identifies itself as .0.8.3 Everything worked perfectly on 10.0, same hardware, updated from Packman. BTW I figured that since the packages were Packman packages, normal Suse install support would not be available.

Did you specifically reformat the partition /home is on? Anyway the problem is with playing audio CD's on a CD player using Xine or Kaffeine. Here's the symptoms.

Sounds like messed up user settings (hence my questions above). Try checking the configuration via Kaffeine. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Joe, thanks for coming back with a suggestion. Yup, All partitions were reformatted. I knew Suse had switched from ReiserFS to Ext3 as its default. I only have two now and the nifty "My Computer" says that both are ext3. Kaffeine says my audio CD device is /dev/cdrom. I have one of those, it is a link that points to hdd. Don't know if this makes a hill of beans worth of difference, but the implicit_config option us turned off. Been mucking around uninstalling stuff (Kaffeine, xine, libxine etc) and reinstalling. Now when I put in an audio CD, the system ejects it after about 15 seconds or so. When you watch My Computer, you see the system recognize the CD as an audio CD, then the Audio CD entry disappears from My Computer and the CD ejects. It recognizes what it has for a few seconds and then something comes along and says "Oh no you don't". Regular data CD's are just fine. The system recognizes them, you can bop around in directories and they don't disappear. When I manually fire up the Xine UI, it says it is missing MRL's. Running xine-check at the command line prompt doesn't turn up any errors, just a suggestion to turn on DMA for the CD Rom. I really don't want to reinstall again just in case something was munged on the original install. I went though a couple of those to get this far (text only install, APIC(? never can remember how to spell that) Power functions turned off, etc.). BTW I had a typo before. Both hdd entries were hdd/2 I mistyped one as being hdd/1 Thanks again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Mine is the same, and this all sounds correct.
Been mucking around uninstalling stuff (Kaffeine, xine, libxine etc) and reinstalling. Now when I put in an audio CD, the system ejects it after about 15 seconds or so. You can run an rpm -V on those packages to see if they have changed since install. With Linux, it is usually the user config files that get messed up and not the files only root can write to mess up. When you watch My Computer, you see the system recognize the CD as an audio CD, then the Audio CD entry disappears from My Computer and the CD ejects. Since an audiocd is not mountable, it may disappear (have never watched it), but it shouldn't eject. Are there any pertinent messages in /var/log/messages? It recognizes what it has for a few seconds and then something comes along and says "Oh no you don't".
Perhaps the automounter, which realizes it cannot automount but instead runs a program. Have you checked your automounter settings (assuming KDE) at Configure Desktop (Personal Settings), Peripherals, Storage Media, under Medium Types, choose Audio CD. What are the choices there? It hasn't by any chance somehow got eject there does it?
Regular data CD's are just fine. The system recognizes them, you can bop around in directories and they don't disappear. But they ARE mountable, unlike audio cds. When I manually fire up the Xine UI, it says it is missing MRL's. Running xine-check at the command line prompt doesn't turn up any errors, just a suggestion to turn on DMA for the CD Rom.
I really don't want to reinstall again just in case something was munged on the original install. No need to reinstall. It is much better to learn and grow by actually fixing the problem. It gives you a lifetime warranty- if it breaks again, you will be able to fix it again. I went though a couple of those to get this far (text only install, APIC(? never can remember how to spell that) Power functions turned off, etc.).
Is it a possible hardware problem. It doesn't sound like it, but if acpi or apic were a problem, then anything is possible I guess. It definitely makes things more interesting to troubleshoot. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the reply. Well for the rpm -V all I got is on libxine1 S.5....T d /usr/share/man5/xine.5.gz I assume that is adding or deleting some man pages. All the others I know about came back with no messages. Didn't see a darn thing in /var/log/messages that looked like CDROM problems Took a peek in the KDE personal settings. Audio CD had a list of applications/options: open in a new window. extract and encode audio tracks, Extract digital audio with K3b, Copy CD with K3b, Play audio CD with Kaffeine and do nothing. None of them were checked as default. The properties button was greyed out no matter what I clicked on. That seems kind of strange. The advanced tab had enable HAL backend and enable CD polling checked and greyed out. It had enable media autostart checked. For grins back in the Notification tab, I checked the do nothing option as default and tried again. It didn't bring up an options window. It didn't start any applications. So far so good. Then the CD ejects. I also played with the enable media autostart checkbox. Same thing. This time just in case it was APIC, I had booted with the NOAPIC option. Now here's something really bizarre, if I put an audio CD in the CD recorder, everything works hunky dory. Kaffeine has no problem with it. Moving and grooving as I type. Same blankety blank blank CD. Go figure. It is beginning to look like a problem with the CDROM.
