Hello All!
I recently upgraded my machine from 5.2 to 6.1 and xplaycd doesn't work
anymore.
I have a pretty standard Pentium system with an ATAPI CD-ROM drive. Xplaycd
worked just fine until the upgrade. Now, when I start xplaycd it comes up
just fine. It reads the resources from my .Xdefaults file, I know, because it
created a new file in my .cddb directory named "00000000". When I hit the
play button, the drive lights go on for a second, but then all activity on the
drive stops. Subsequent hits on the play button will cause just a tiny blip
on the drive light, if anything.
I have checked that /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hdc, and I tried setting a
resource to access /dev/hdc directly -- still didn't work.
I have checked /var/log/messages, but nothing is logged there. I tried
starting xplaycd from the command line (as opposed to starting it from a
window manager menu selection), but no errors came to stderr.
I also tried kscd, but the symptoms were the same. I suspect something has
changed in my system configuration... I am able to mount data CD-ROMs with no
trouble at all. I have rebuilt my own kernel, did I perhaps miss a module
that is required for playing of audio CD's in the CD-ROM drive?
Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone gotten xplaycd to work with an
ATAPI or SCSI drive? I am hesitant to upgrade my work machine (SCSI) for fear
the same thing will happen -- I don't know if I could work without my
Tchaikovsky and Mozart!
Thanks for any and all help/suggestions!
-Michael

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
