[Bug 121177] Re: Cannot play audio CD in amarok (related to audiocd:/)

2008-04-06 Thread Rob Watson
Changing the path in 'Configure Amarok... did the trick for me too. It was /dev/cdrom but should have been /dev/scd1 (which I found by right- clicking on the CD's desktop icon then selecting 'properties'). Never had to do this for kaffeine or for the Ubuntu player (whatever it is - Gnome Player?).

I can confirm this. X hangs as soon as the opening level starts. I can switch to a text console and 'kill -9 prboom PID', but switching back, X is in 640x480 resolution (if I'm lucky?). Didn't run it with '-nofullscreen' (shouldn't have to). This might be a dupe of Bug #101936, but without the
