I am running the gnome 3 desktop under Debian Testing
I am trying to rip some of my cds to mp3 using k3b.
After I have inserted a cd and ask k3b to start ripping it to disk it
tells me that gvf-cdda has control of the device and do I want to stop
it. I have to in order to continue.
However, I am doing all of this in the background, whilst getting on
with other jobs in the foreground. About 1 time in 10, the action of
killing gvf-cdda actually logs me out. This kills my windows virtual
machine running in vbox and all sorts of other havoc. I would rather
this didn't happen as its a pain to get it all working again.
Firstly - can I stop gvf-cdda grabbing this cd and not releasing it?
Secondly, the gnome help (and indeed the gnome website) says to get a
list of applications associated with different device types go to the
Activities Menu and type "Details". I don't have an activities menu
per-se, just a desktop with a search bar to type into after I click on
the activiies button in the top right hand corner. But typing "Details"
brings up nothing.
Is there something I should have installed in my system and haven't?
(there is also a settings looking button on the top right menu (where I
normally log out) - but clicking on it does nothing. I am assuming
this is part of the same problem).
