It was far enough in the past that I can't remember where I received it | during an install. If you have some old kscd configs around, you may also | have to configure the cddb data entry. | | I don't have any idea where this ancient stuff is coming from. You may have | also some old crufty stuff in your .kde user files because I expected it to | complain about /dev/cdrom. I looked on the machine I am running behind this | one and I noticed I had kscd configured to use /dev/acd0c. It has a problem | with the cddb database. At least, I had the link right. | | I happen to like xmcd better than kscd. It also didn't have a problem | getting cddb entries for the CDs I tested. Each of the cd players has a set | of brain-dead points. The best one will be which dumb features hit you the | least. | | Kent The _sad_ thing is that when you run as root all these things work perfectly. Now who is that 'danda-' who wants to run X as root when they are on a public network? Isn't there a case for the maintainer to get these things right (yes, I know it's his personal time he invests on this and gets nothing in return from us) for us the first time, please? Thank you all for those who responded. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd., wash@wananchi.com 1st Flr Loita Hse.
