problems with KDE CD-R(W) Watcher Monitors CD-R(W) Drives Media
Hi everyone, this is just in case someone has the same problem I had. I am not sure if something needs to be done about it or not, ie. if it's a bug or not. I have a problem with the KDE start-up service KDE CD-R(W) Watcher Monitors CD-R(W) Drives Media I am using Ralf's latest .deb packages. This service is running by default, and if it does, it causes the kernel to print the following message into the syslog and the kernel ring buffer, at a speed of around 100 lines per minute. kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! I have an scsi DVD drive and an scsi cd writer which never caused problems before. I am not sure which of the discs the message refers to. Whatever is causing these messages to be printed also seems to interfere adversely with cd-burning: sometimes the CD can't be fixated and cdrecord just loops (using X-CD Roast), something which I have never observed before upgrading to KDE 3.1. I can kill cdrecord then, but the scsi cd writer just disappeares from the scsi bus then and I have to restart my computer to get it to be recognised again (also something which I never had to do before, and I had it for more than 2 years now). Stopping the service in Settings - Control Center - KDE Components - Service Manager - Startup Services seems to get rid of the problem. Cheers -Tim
