I encountered the same thing last week - the problem is that the cd player tries to open /dev/cdrom to access the cd drive (which is usually a link to the actual device). Create a symlink to your actual cdrom device, "ln -s acd0c cdrom" (presuming your cd drive is acd0c)and the players should work fine. You might also want to play with the permissions on the device if you want it accessible to a normal user. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Tim Solis Sent: 24 October 2001 08:38 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: CD Player bug I've have a problem with the KDE and Gnome CD Players for FreeBSD 4.4/4.3. When I attempt to access the CD player(s) it displays on screen then a window pops up informing me that the program has crashed. However, on FreeBSD 4.1 the CD player works just fine. Do I need to make a custom kernel to fix this problem? Thanks. Sincerely, Tim Solis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
