Grip issues with Fedora Core 1
 

Thread number 3! Woo... I'm on a roll. I have grip 3.0.7 installed on FC1, and it's running beautifully for just playing CD's. However, I am having problems with ripping them. Grip doesn't encode the CD's that I ask to rip. It rips about 2 percent of a track then moves onto the next track. And there is no output being made. It's really odd. My friend uses the same distro, and all, and he doesn't have any problems. He's at a loss too.

I tried KAudioCreator, but it appears to be broken in FC1.

Any ideas?

try unchecking poll for a new disk in the config.

Unchecked polling... it's still having the same issue. BTW, I'm using Lame to encode. It's version 3.95.. if that helps with anything.

from a console, run "grip --verbose" and read it! ;)

Apparently Grip is trying to to open /dev/hdd exclusively, and it's retrying, at least 5 times before it fails.

I'm not aware of a /dev/hdd on this system. Interesting.

Any additioonal ideas?

OK, so I noticed one little thing.. KsCD runs by default when a CD is inserted. That's why Grip is having the trouble. So.. how on earth can I kill KsCD, and get rid of it, so I can listen to my music in peace. =0)

Issue has been resolved. updated the Autorun.desktop entry in ~/.kde to be -cdplayer=/usr/bin/grip, instead of /usr/bin/kscd
