If you don't have one it core dumps. You can override this, but it's a catch 22. You need an entry in ksdrc, but that is empty until you run kscd for the first time. The file is ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc and the entry you need is: [General] CDDevice=/dev/cd0c Note that you need the section heading ([General]). If this doesn't work (it did with KDE 1.0) then just ``rm /dev/matcd0'' and make it a symlink to your real CD device. Someone mentioned a while ago that they needed to use the raw device (rmatcd0 and rcd0 or whatever is correct for your CD). Maybe this is a difference between v1.0 and v1.1? In 1.0 there was also a problem with CDDB (the track list database). This is an email I found in one of the KDE mailing lists detailing it, maybe it's fixed in 1.1 though: List: kde Subject: Re: What's up w/ CDDB? From: Bruce Tenison Date: 1998-09-09 0:48:24 [Download message body RAW] Check out the patches in the bug list area. I've posted a couple of patches in the descriptions to the source to fix the problems I was having. The first one changes a string in cddb.cpp (around line 276 and another around line 519) from Kscd to kscd (change in capitalization). For some reason, the CDDB servers do not like the string with a capital letter?!?!? Hope this helps everyone!
