Hi all,
I have to "eat a bit of crow" on this one. The relevant portion of this
issue from my previous post as outlined below may not be entirely the
fault of kaudiocreator although, in self defense, this is the only
application that was reacting strangely after the upgrade to kde 3.5 and
as previously stated, under kde 3.4.3, this application worked flawlessly.
Last night, I tried installing grip. Despite my aversion to having a
lot of gnome stuff on my PC, I set out to prove that the problem was
entirely with kaudiocreator. This is where I have to "eat crow" because
grip froze too. So, I'm at a loss. I'm posting the section of
/var/log/messages where the process freezes.
I have to reiterate that the problem is not with the CD drive. The CD's
I am trying to rip *do not* have copy protection. I have intermittently
ripped a CD, or a portion of a CD using kaudiocreator under kde 3.5. I
have successfully burned a data CD with the drive. However,
kaudiocreator is not working as expected. The only thing that I can
think of is that I don't have some setting correct and I'm darned if I
can figure out what it is.
