bindtextdomain
Sorry guys, didn't notice if this has come up yet... did a big portupgrade (-af) and now I'm having issues with quite a few programs failing to run. In time tracker I always get: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '*bindtextdomain*' A few of the built in games... like chess and sudoku: File /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/glchess/defaults.py, line 46, in module locale.bind_textdomain_codeset(DOMAIN, UTF-8) # See Bug 608425 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '*bind_textdomain_codeset*' === I was also wondering if someone could explain packagekit...

The first error states that packages for these items can not be found, the second error stats that upgrade-packages can not be found (sorry, going from memory), but basically it can't find the actual program or script required to do the upgrade.

Audio
Just wondering what changed with the sound on BSD?

Some time this past week, my audio went from sounding like crap to absolutely phenomenal!!!

anyone suffering with NV / xorg 7.4 issues
I know most of you have already figured this out, and others have gone back to 7.3, but I thought I'd post what worked for me. I saw many people explain bits and pieces of the problem, but none of the bits and pieces helped me the last 3 days, until I put em all together (hard to do when you have to browse with LINKS. First issues first... I upgrade from 7.3 to 7.4 using portmanager -u, seemed to go without a hitch. I read UPDATING and followed all the instructions. Rebooted and everything was broken. I had everything from no screens, to no mouse, no keyboard, no X, no startx, wfb errors, you name it. I messed around with xorg.conf for hours!!! What I had to do was portmanager -u -p -l -y (thanks robert) - This brought all my ports back to a stable state (took ages) I build xorg-server without HAL at first, but this didn't matter, hal or not, it works fine (in the end I selected all 3 choices) I then grabbed the beta nvidia driver 180.22 from the nvidia web site - installed it with make install (couldn't get driver in ports to work) X -configure and nvidia-xconfig would not work for me so I took my old config and used it (will post below) - running X -configure resulted in 32 of everything (no idea why) By now I could get startx and X to launch X just fine, but gnome would not start at all (couldn't move mouse or type ... so it seems) At the top of my xorg.conf I had to add Option AutoAddDevices off (thx again robert)... for the longest time I was being an idiot and adding just AutoAddDevices off (reading man helped... duh) xorg.conf below (really stripped down) after this I did a reboot and everything is working with full 3D... hope this helps anyone still struggling :( Section ServerFlags Option AutoAddDevices off EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier Layout0 Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDevice Keyboard0 CoreKeyboard InputDevice Mouse0 CorePointer EndSection Section Files EndSection Section Module Load freetype # Load xtt Load extmod Load glx Load dbe Load record Load xtrap Load type1 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol Auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout us EndSection Section Monitor ### Comment all HorizSync and VertRefresh values to use DDC: Identifier Monitor0 HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 100.0 EndSection Section Device Identifier Card0 Driver nvidia EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 Monitor Monitor0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Nvidia, GDM, Xorg 7.4
Surprised I don't see more postings, find it hard to believe I'm the only one unable to resolve this issue... Still can't get GDM working (gnome). Machine boots and drops back to console. Have tried playing with every setting in xorg.conf I can think of, have even tried nuking it completely. System will not boot to GUI. I can type startx and X... just fine... screen shows up, everything working (mouse/kb, etc). If I do GDM restart/stop, etc... nothing. I have no idea what the error is in Xorg.0.log that's causing an issue... I doesn't seem to me that there is a serious error. I have tried with x11/nvidia-driver, with driver off nvidia site, with nv, and with vesa. I can't get anything to work. Even more odd, is if I do a X -configure, my xorg.conf file has 32 of everything... 32 monitors, 32 drivers, 32 etc... and it will still not boot FreeBSD 7.1, Xorg 7.4, i386, intel cpu, system running fine before xorg 7.4, hald running, rc.conf should be fine, nvidia driver was working fine with compiz, etc. Have gone through all the steps in UPDATING, have even tried -ignoreABI... nothing working. I should at the very least be able to get Vesa or NV to work shouldn't I? Ports are all up to date with portmanager -u Have tried reinstall everything to do with xorg, etc (let machine run all night rebuilding everything). As I said before, don't care about 3d right now, would just like to see good old gnome once again. ... help :) Sorry for the log... didn't want to leave anything out in case I'm overlooking something.

FreeBSD 7.1, Xorg 7.4, Nvidia
I upgrade to Xorg 7.4 yesterday, and now I can't seem to start gnome. For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on. startx and X both start fine... (that is how I am able to type this email). But when starting the machine, my screen just flashes a few times and returns to the console. Looking at Xorg.0.log I see the same error a few others are getting... dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol miZeroLineScreenIndex (EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/modules//libfw.so (EE) Failed to load module wfb (loader failed 7) (EE) NVIDIA(0): Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found I am also not able to use Vesa or NV (both options that have worked in the past when having issues with the Nvidia driver). I have read updating, and none of the advice has helped. I have even tried the 180.22 driver. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get Gnome/GDM working again? I don't care if I have 3d, as long as I have a usuable system until drivers or issues are resolved. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Nvidia Driver - OpenGL - Compiz
Can anyone tell me why, how to fix, or even what is happening on my machine. I ran the 169.x driver for a long time with no issues at all. I decided to upgrade to 173, and noticed instantly that any time I run an OpenGL application X crashes instantly. The odd thing is that I am not seeing any errors on the screen (maybe going off too fast), and I do not see any errors in any of the log files. X shuts down instantly, my machine goes black, X starts back up, and I sit here staring at the log in screen. If I go back to the 169 driver, the issues does not occur. I'm not positive it's OpenGL applications, but it seems any game or GL application I try crashes it instantly. Not even a second to acknowledge the crash... screen goes black and that's it. I'm running FreeBSD 7.X (RELENG_7), nothing custom in the kernel, Intel 6600, GeForce 8800, compiz, gnome, and nothing really fancy. I've had other tell me to roll back to 169, but no one can tell me why this is happening, if it's a problem for everyone, if there is a fix, etc. Any bits of information would be greatly appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

HAL/FreeBSD Metacity Compositor
Is there any documentation specifically for HAL on FreeBSD? DBUS is working great, hald and policy kit are enabled in rc.conf. I see devices listed under my computer. But I'm not sure how to mount them correctly. I know it's a stupid thing to ask, but do I still need a mount point in fstab? It seems I do. And when mounting a USB key, how come it will mount once, but will not mount a second or third time after it has been unplugged? Also, is there any reason my system would be freezing up hard while it scans the sd slots on my printer? It seems the machine freezes (as in nothing new can happen), but I can still switch from one window to another. If I drop to console CTL-ALT-F1, I can see it scanning the printer sd slots over and over and failing... after a bit the system returns to normal... and everything I've clicked to that point opens or runs. Finally does metacity actually support compositor on FreeBSD? I've tried to add the eye candy, but have had no luck at all compiling metacity with the --enable-compositor flag. I do however see the compositor options in gnome config. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 153, Issue 22
I need to ask a few random questions only because I have not found the information by browsing the net: If anyone is able to answer any of the questions I would appreciate it. 1. I've asked in the past about the usb keyboard driver for BSD. It seems that of the 3 USB keyboards that I have, none of the media keys will work on any of them unless I use the supplied PS/2 adapter and plug the keyboard in using the PS/2 port. I can then use volume up/down/mute on all 3 keyboards. If I take the PS/2 adapter off and use the keyboards in the USB port, only the standard keys are readable... the media keys return nothing to gnome's Keyboard Shortcuts program. I have tried all of the standard key reading programs, and they return nothing as well. Today I ran a live ubuntu cd on my machine and noticed the media keys work fine, they were even predefined and ready to go. Is this a problem with the BSD usb keyboard driver? Is there a patch, fix or anything I can do to add support (documentation on how to do this)? 2. Everyone knows Gnome 2.16 is out, and with it comes metacity 2.16.3. Along with all of the wonderful new features such as HAL, etc, metacity apparently supports aiglx in 2.16.3. Is this only on linux machines? and if not, can someone tell me how to add --*enable*-*compositor*. I have made an attempt, but it seem to complain about missing libcm (compositing?). I see the gnome bsd site says new eye candy. They could be talking about cairo only, but I'm crossing my fingers. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
USB Keyboard (media keys return nothing)
Just a follow up to my USB keyboard issue. I know what programs are available to bind the keys... unfortunately the keys do not return anything. No value returned at all, making it impossible to bind these keys :) I had the same problem with my last keyboard... In USB mode none of the keys returned anything. If I put a PS2 adapter on the keyboard all the media keys worked fine. Unfortunately I do not have a PS2 adapter with this keyboard.

vidcontrol
I've noticed an odd problem when I set allscreens_flags=MODE_282. If I set this in rc.conf, when I reboot my machine, the minute GDM comes up, I can see black on the top half of my screen, overwriting everything else on the screen. As I move the mouse, the black lines overwrite more of the screen. I can also see a very tiny cursor moving in the black. What this looks like to me, is that part of the console screen memory is overwriting the screen. Is there a fix for this or is this a known problem? If I disable the allscreens_flags in rc.conf, boot normally, switch to a console CTLR_ALT-F1from within Gnome then run vidcontrol MODE_282 then switch back everything is fine... no corruption. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
USB Keyboards (media keys)
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'd love to know the answer :) I have a Saitek USB keyboard. It has just 3 additional media keys. I have tried xev, xkeybind, etc and can not get a response from any of the keys. Aside from these three keys returning nothing at all, the keyboard works fine. They keys are volume down, up and mute. All keys I would love to get working in Gnome 2.14.x I know with my old keyboard, when using it in usb mode none of the media keys worked on it either, but if I put the PS2 adapter on, they all worked. Is this a problem with FreeBSD's USB support for keyboards, or am I missing something simple?

Random Pixels At The Top Of The Screen...
I'm not sure if anyone would find this information useful, but I had asked if anyone knew why I was seeing about 10-20 lines of random pixels at the top of my screen any time I enabled cups, or webmin in rc.conf. After months of trying to figure out the problem, I found the cause. In my machine I had an ATI TV Wonder Pro (crap) capture card. After removing this card from my machine, the problem went away. I'm not sure why the card caused this problem, but now that the card is out, everything is fine. Thanks to those of you that emailed in an attempt to help me resolve the issue.

[Fwd: Re: Noise On Screen]
---BeginMessage--- Hi Alex, If this were happening to me, I would first suspect that webmin/cups was just something that triggered the problem but not the root cause. I would find it hard to believe that two ports would have the same issue, so on that I agree with you. What graphics card do you have? Is it seated properly? Graphics card is nvidia 5900fx, and it is seated correctly. If it's an NVidia, are you running the Xorg (nv) driver or the NVidia driver from ports? I am using the nvidia driver w/ linux support and nvidia's agp. In an earlier release of Xorg I was forced to switch to the NVidia driver because the xorg driver didn't work, caused screen corruption and lockups. (Mozilla triggered that, but I don't blame mozilla). I have not had problems until a few months back, unfortunately, I am not able to say if it was an upgrade to xorg, the nvidia driver or some other port that caused the issue. From you PR note I see that your are running an Nvidia card, so 1) try upgrading Xorg as it seems to be out of date - you say you have 6.8 but 6.9 is the latest 2) If that doesn't help then try the nvidia driver. I was incorrect. I am running the following: cups 1.1.23.0_1 gnome2-2.12.3 nvidia-driver-1.0.8178_1 xorg-6.9.0 xorg-clients-6.9.0_2 should be current. --Alex ---End Message--- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Noise On Screen
Hi Colin, I see the same thing when I switch between ttyv0 (text mode) and ttyv8 (X11), but it goes away when the afflicted windows are redrawn. While you're running cups, could you switch through consoles ttyv0 -- ttyv7 and see if there's anything similarly garbaged on them? I do see the flash of scrambled graphics when going to console or shutting down, but this issue is not quite the same. It only affects the top 10-20 lines of the screen, and the line colors changes as I move the mouse. It looks as if random bytes are written to the screen whenever I move the mouse in any direction. These lines will overwrite anything, including the top of windows. The lines will not go away on their own. If I start disable cupsd_enable in rc.conf, boot into gnome, and then start cups manually the line does not appear. It only appears if cups is started before gnome loads... very odd :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Noise On Screen
I hope I'm not driving everyone crazy by posting the same problem over and over, but I have yet to receive a reply, suggestion, thought, etc. I am running RELENG_6. I have been using FreeBSD since 4.x. I have had a lot of weird issues through the years, but this is one I am not able to resolve. If I enable cups or webmin, I get a small line of random graphics across the top of my screen. The line does not affect the system stability, but it's extremely annoying. It takes up anywhere from 10 to 20 lines of my display, and displays random colors from red, green, blue to purples and yellows. I attempted to post a picture with my last post on this issue, but pictures appear to be forbidden in the list. I did however find a page that seems to document the problem, although the way the problem happens is different from how I trigger it on my system. The URL is here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=usb/95348 A quick quote: Unplugging the USB keyboard causes a thin and irregular horizontal stripe appear near the top of the screen (xorg 6.9.0) across almost all its width. Moving the mouse (either USB or PS/2) causes this noise to change shape. The consistency of the system doesn't seem to be affected by this stripe, though. Occasional random characters have been noticed coming from the USB keyboard, like a stuck key, once replugged, but I couldn't repeat it reliably. The noise on the screen is of one uniform colour (red on my desktop, green on my laptop). Looks like someone is spilling data on the frame buffer. This is exactly what I see, but on my system it is not triggered by USB devices. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? I don't mind not having webmin, but cups is fairly important. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
USB Keyboard Video Corruption w/ Cups (again)
I bought an Eclipse keyboard a few weeks ago, and have not had any luck getting the media keys to work on it. Is this a problem with USB keyboard? I noticed on my micro$oft digital media pro keyboard that the media keys would not work in usb mode, but if I put the ps2 adapter on they did work. In short, has anyone gotten the eclipse to work without the adapter. Another problem I have asked about many time in this list is with cups and webmin. If I enable either of these in rc.conf the next time I boot, and they start up, the top of my screen is filled with random graphical garbage. As I move my mouse I see random pixels at the top of the screen. The pixels update randomly depending on where my mouse is. I have tried to describe the problem with text (showing a screen and random characters to illustrate the random pixels), but this time I am going to attempt to include a screenshot (not sure what the policy is on screenshots). If I disable cups or webmin, the problem goes away. This problem did not happen when I initially installed 6.x. Currently I am running latest 6.x, I have an nvidia 5900fx using the nvidia driver. I am running in 1280x1024, although res and bit depth don't seem to matter in regards to the video corruption, all ports were installed via source. I have tried reinstalling ports and os from scratch. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Odd Graphics Issues
I've asked about this before, but received no replies... Thought I would ask again, now that it's happening again, and it's happening with a different port. I'm running the latest FreeBSD 6. I have an Nvidia 5900fx and use the nvidia driver. I had this problem awhile ago with webmin. What happened is as follows: I upgraded webmin, rebooted, and noticed an odd bar of graphics at the top of the screen. Every time I moved the mouse the graphics would flicker and move depending on the mouse position on the screen. It's very hard to explain the problem, but I will try through ascii :) @#(*$!(#$(!)%()!(%(*#(!%)_*()!*#%(!*#^*($^*!(#^$()^!# %$()*)@(*%_$(*%)@*#$)(*!@)#$!(*#$(%_!#*()$*(!#$()*!()# | MENU ENTRY 1 | | MENU ENTRY 2 | Hopefully that comes out lined up. Basically the top half of the screen (about the top 20 lines is random colored pixels). they cover up the gnome panel and anything else at the top of the screen. I ended up removing webmin and the problem went away. Yesterday I upgraded cups (using the new cupsd.sh), and noticed the bar has come back. If I add enable_cupsd=YES to rc.conf or rc.conf.local I see the bar. If I remove it, the bar is not there the next time I reboot. Can anyone tell me how or why this is happening? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gdm, dbus or xscreensaver...?
I've had a serious problem this past week. I did an update last week, and after rebooting, I noticed an odd bar of scrambled graphics at the top of the screen in gdm/gnome. When I moved the mouse the bar would change, my keyboard would lock, etc. I ended up removing everything, and reinstalling clean. For the past 3 nights everything has been fine. Until I updated my ports today. From console I watched the system upgrade GDM, DBUS and XSCREENSAVER. I shutdown, restarted my machine, and as soon as the gdm login screen appears I see this scrambled bar of color at the top of the screen. It looks like the mouse is somehow causing data to write directly to the display. I can still see my mouse pointer, and everything seems to be fine (keyboard works), but this bar of about 20-50 pixels full of random colors wont go away. The minute I move the mouse those lines are filled with colors. I tried disabling dbus. This didn't help. I removed, and reinstalled gdm, nothing. I removed and reinstalled xscreensaver, still nothing. I know those were the only threee ports upgraded. Does anyone know what's going on? releng_6 intel cpu sata drives usb mouse/keyboard gnome2 all ports up to date kernel/world up to date nvidia 5900fx all worked fine a few hours ago :) I can send a screenshot if anyone would like to see the problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
GDM, Xscreensaver, DBus follow up...
Well, it turns out my video related problems are tied to Webmin. If I remove or disable webmin I no longer have colored bars of random data at the top of my screen. I'm not sure if this problem directly relates to one of the above 3 programs, but I can tell you without a doubt that if I enable webmin, the problem appears. Was anything changed in the above programs that may cause this to happen? Also, can anyone tell me where I can read about the new changes to the sound system in FreeBSD 6 stable? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Latest Nvidia Driver...
Has anyone else noticed flickering along the edges of a video when playing high resolution video in mplayer using -vo xv? After upgrading to the latest driver, I have noticed that the edges of any video I play that is higher resolution than my monitor supports waves, flickers, etc. This happens in fullscreen (scaled to fit the monitor) and in windowed mode... ONLY if the video is off the left or top half of the screen. If I move the top left corner of mplayer completely onto the screen, the video is perfect, even though the bottom and right half are off the screen. Playing with -vo x11, gl or gl2 works fine, but is slower. Would love some feedback if anyone knows what the problem is. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 117, Issue 23
Having some serious problems with gnome-theme-manager. Up until last week it was running great. I installed a few icon packs, themes, etc, no problems. 2 days ago I went to install a new theme and notice the the theme manager took a long time to come up, and when it did, none of the themes looked like themes. They were all greyed out with a question mark in the middle. Clicking theme details opened a theme window with nothing in it (partially drawn). I did some quick reading and found that the transparency in X can cause problems. So I disabled it. Rebooted and noted the same problems. I then removed all my themes and reinstalled them, thinking perhaps one was corrupt and it was messing up the rest. Same problem. Yesterday early in the morning I decided to reinstall everything from scratch (drastic, but wanted to be sure it wasn't my set up). Gnome is back up, but theme manager is still screwed up. If I select certain themes not only do they not work, but my machine has a tendancy to crash. Gnome crashes, and I'm back to the login prompt. Is anyone aware of a problem with the gnome-theme-manager or am I the only one having this problem? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Acrobat 7.0
Hello, I know there are many sites that discuss this issue, but they all seem to be outdated, incorrect, or simply do not work. I am running galeon with linux-pluginwrappers. I can open Realaudio, Flash6 and Java, but when I attempt to load a PDF I see nothing. The screen is blank. I do not see any error messages on the console, etc. My libmap is as follows: ### # Acrobat5 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror/Kazehakase [/usr/X11R6/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so # Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror/Kazehakase [/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so # Japanese Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror/Kazehakase [/usr/X11R6/Acrobat7/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so ### Acrobat is installed and runs fine on it's own.

Mounting DVD, Gnome 2.12 Browse CD and play content
Hi All,
===
problem 1
===
I have been using FreeBSD as a desktop system for about 2 years now.
Started on 4.x... as of last night, I'm now running 6 stable #2.
I've noticed over the years, that dvd, has at one point worked, then it
stopped working, then it worked, then it stopped working, etc.
I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong... so I thought I would ask on
this list.
If I play a dvd with mplayer dvd://1 it works fine.
If I play a dvd with totem dvd://1 it worked fine up until tonight
(gstreamer error, not concerned about this right now because I just
upgraded and have not had a chance to see what might be wrong).
However, if I run totem and try to play a dvd using PLAY DVD, it fails
horribly. The error I get is:
Failed to retrieve capabilities of device /dev/cd0: Inappropriate ioctl
for device
I have a sony dvd rw dw-d22a drive.
cam is properly configured.
permissions and mounting if devfs and fstab are set, my account is in
the cdrom group (permission).
k3b will burn, and copy discs just fine.
mplayer will play discs (minus the menu).
I have tried to recompile totem with acd0, dvd, etc... as the DVD
device, but it seems to ignore what I enter as a device to use and
defaults back to cd0 (which should be fine I would think).
Any help would be appreciated.
===
problem 2
===
I attempted to mount a windows game (on dvd) the other day. I wanted to
grab some files from the disc to play with in BSD.
when clicking the dvd icon under computer (name I gave my drive). It
comes back and says it can't mount the disc. I am able to get a
directory of the disc if I mount it with UDF, but I am unable to copy or
look at the files.
Oddly enough, I can mount a dvd movie and see the contents of the drive
just fine.
/dev/cd0 /usr/home/{homedir}/DVD cd9660 ro,noauto 0
I attempted to read a windows data dvd that I had burned a few month
earlier and noticed I was not able to mount this disc anymore. I was
able to mount it in the past (I fairly sure).
===
problem 3
===
this is not really a problem, but more me not understanding what I am
doing. I read on the gnome 2.12 new features list that you can now
double click audio tracks on an audio cd, and have them play:
/
Nautilus is now more tightly integrated with the multimedia tasks you
want to do. In addition to the thumbnailing of video and previewing of
audio in past releases, Nautilus now offers drag and drop capabilities
from audio CDs and the ability to play a track simply by double clicking.
/How do you do this? When I try to mount an audio cd (which is what I
would assume you would have to do to get a list of its tracks), it fails.
Sorry for the long winded post. It's my first post, and would love to
get these problems ironed out.
