Hald does not interrupt the write process if this is done in RAW mode. You did not mention the cue sheet or *.inf content and it is well known that some drives do not like all CUE sheets. I've just copied 6 other CDs using these commands and all were fine. I've tried three blank media on this data and they all failed. I've tried re-ripping the original CD but get the same results. Then it may be that the master CD is not Red-Book compliant or the firmware is dumb or the CD-Text is not accepted. In any case, writing in RAW mode will also prevent the firmware from being able to understand what's going on. In RAW mode, the whole data on the CD is created and computed by cdrecord, try it.

My point is of course that in my desktop environment, I do not want an option for either strip club attendance, religious observance, or anything else that someone else might want to do once a week. I would prefer to keep the desktop environment neutral (secular) by default. If there is indeed a need for such an option to make sundays red in the calendar, it would be more proper to call it sometning more neutral, like Weekly holiday, Ceremonial weekday or Special weekday. The user can then let that mean lap dance, prayer, family dinner, hiking, hacking or whatever he may be interested in. The thing is that day of the week for religious observance is intuitive - it should default to Sunday in the west, Saturday in certain regions, and Pastafarians can select the day appropriate to their observance. The meaning of day for religious observance is quite obvious - that it applies to the common case of a recurring weekly all-day event. Consequently the strip club joke is unhelpful because one doesn't usually take the whole day off for this reason. I don't use KDE myself, so I'm left to wonder if it's possible to have multiple dayS of the week for religious observance - I believe Jews observe from Friday evening through the weekend. Can this be marked by the same mechanism? How about the secular? In the west we usually have both Saturday and Sunday off from our office jobs. Are these clearly marked in a similar manner? If I agreed with my boss to work weekend technical support and have Mondays and Tuesdays off, could I change it so these are displayed as my weekend? Stroller.

You haven't made it clear - in any of your subsequent posts, either - if sound is working for other applications. If you get a new email, does your laptop go bing!? Can you play an MP3 by double clicking on it or at the command line? What if you run mplayer at the command line on an AVI video?

For me that is really important because I spent my life working with big heavy stuff for 35 yrs.

I also tried the very brief, five line, xorg.conf file suggested no help, no change. I also note something eerily similar in my netbook which has only a builtin intel vid chip. In this case X starts fine but then, after a period of time, could be as short as 15 mins or as long as 8 hours the desktop goes blank, ususally black but once grey.

First off - do you have PulseAudio running? If so, for HW/ALSA testing purposes, shut it down. Second, check your mixer settings to determine if your volume levels are appropriate. A great quick CLI app for this is alsamixer (media-sound/alsa-utils) - first start the alsasound service (sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound start), then run alsamixer - set your volumes to about 80%, and unmute all channels (use the 'm' key to toggle mute), then restart the alsasound service to save your volume levels (sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart), then add the alsasound service to your boot runlevel (sudo rc-update add alsasound boot). This will set it up to restore these volume levels on every startup (it will also save your *current* volume levels on every shutdown, so don't mute, shutdown, and expect to be unmuted after starting back up). Now, double-check that PulseAudio is not running (ps -elf | grep -i pulse), and kill it if it is. Then run: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav If you hear sound - great, ALSA and your sound HW are working, and Flash audio will almost certainly start magically working.

Re: [gentoo-user] New KDE4 option: night of the week for strip club attendance WTF?
Stroller skrev: The thing is that day of the week for religious observance is intuitive Probably for those who are into that kind of stuff. For others it can be disturbing. Same for strip club night. - it should default to Sunday in the west, Saturday in certain regions, and Pastafarians can select the day appropriate to their observance. The thing with secular societies/desktop environments is that they do not make assumptions about people's beliefs or religious habits. Especially not based on which region they live in. They do not treat religious activities as special compared to other social or recreational activities. The meaning of day for religious observance is quite obvious - that it applies to the common case of a recurring weekly all-day event. Consequently the strip club joke is unhelpful because one doesn't usually take the whole day off for this reason. I have read that many common religious activities also only last one or maybe up to a few hours. The reason that western people get whole Sunday off is not that they are supposed to go to church all day. (Obviously, since we also get Saturdays off.) It is simply that demanding work requires rest and recreation. I don't use KDE myself, so I'm left to wonder if it's possible to have multiple dayS of the week for religious observance No. In the west we usually have both Saturday and Sunday off from our office jobs. Are these clearly marked in a similar manner? Yes (actually it is Monday-Friday that are marked). If I agreed with my boss to work weekend technical support and have Mondays and Tuesdays off, could I change it so these are displayed as my weekend? It appears so. You could set First work day to Wednesday and Last work day to Sunday. If you literally want the 2 free days to be the weekend, you set First day of week to Wednesday. If you want to mark your special activity day, you could set Night of the week for strip club attendance to Tuesday. But if you agree with your boss to work Tuesday-Thurday and Saturaday-Sunday, you are out of luck. KDE is not designed to handle it. To allow that, there should be 2 checkboxes for each weekday; Work and Special activity. That would even work for the jews that you mentioned.
