Re: Audio CD Problems with Potato

Perhaps the problem is that you are trying to access an IDE device (/dev/hdc or whatever your CD-ROM drive is) as a normal user that is not part of the disk group? Try adding yourself to disk, and see if that helps. On Sun, Jul 15, 2001 at 08:47:32PM -0700, Mark Wagnon wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm ha

Audio CD Problems with Potato

Hi all, I'm having some trouble getting audio CDs to play as an unpriviledged user. I am able to do so as root though, so it looks to me like a permission problem. I am able to send various audio files to /dev/dsp and /dev/audio as root. I have sound working in Ximian GNOME as a normal user. I add

installer problems with potato

In case any developers are reading that are interested, I thought I'd mention the problems I had during install of potato from floppies. First, the reason why I chose to install potato, is because I was unable to install debian after buing two different books with slink on them. I downloaded the

I also had this problem. The AT&F didn't work for me. After some digging, it looks like my 16550A was configured as a 16450. I re-ran setserial and forced it to a 16550A, and it was fine after that. -Doug On Thu, 23 Dec 1999, Todd Suess wrote: > I got that recently when I reinstalled potato, I

I got that recently when I reinstalled potato, I cured it by using AT&F as my init string in pppconfig. Once I did that I never got the error again. Regards, Todd At 11:38 AM 12/23/99 -0800, Clyde Wilson wrote: I've just converted to potato. When I try to bring up ppp with pon I get: Dec 2

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Today, i noticed libc6 version 2.1.2-1 on the mirrors. Nothing is mentioned in the changelog, but my initial testing indicates that SO no longer freezes when printing. Presumably, then, other threaded applications which use the system(3) call will also work again
