new SuSe10 installed, cd rom and dvd won't play

Highlight and click add for both of them. See if you can see data for those diesks in the /media directory.

DVD-ROM DVD 16x6s /dev/hdd hit add key, adds /dev/dvd/media/dvd

Memorex DVD16+/-DL4RWID2 /dev/hdc add key adds /dev/ /media

However when I restart computer after hitting "apply" what appeared when I hit the add key disappears again.

It should. But it should also play now even after rebooting. Does it?

richard wayburn sr · 06-23-2006, 09:49 PM

No it still doesn't play.
The first thing that happens when I attempt to play is that I get an erroe, "Nautilus has quit unexpectedly"

nlinecomputers · 06-23-2006, 10:17 PM

What do you mean by PLAY? What kind of cd are you trying to view? Is this a music cd. A movie DVD or a data CD? Can you test all three?

richard wayburn sr · 06-24-2006, 07:26 AM

It's a music cd. My music player will appear, the cd name and list of songs appears, but it wil not play.
When I go to "computer, I have icons showing for both cdrom and dvd.
I'll get a movie cd from one of the boys and see what that does.

Playing around with pc and stumbled onto "internal GStream error: pad problem. File a bug.

When I attempted to file a bug, I got "could not get/set/settings from /on resource"
then I got another error, "couldnot start pipeline playing"

richard wayburn sr · 06-24-2006, 07:50 AM

The moment I hit the play icon on the music player, the "Nautilus has quit unexpectedly " crops up immediately, with a buzz from the pc and I am right back to square one.
I ran my SuSE 10 dvd through the check media and it checks out ok. Could it be it isn't loading everything or not properly loading the OS.

Which music player are you attempting to run this with? Also you are using gnome. Have you tried KDE. Suse is more of a KDE based distro. Also how does it do with other media. Data CDs and DVDs?

richard wayburn sr · 06-25-2006, 12:55 PM

I am running Gnome. I get the same results no matter what type of cd I try to use.
I will do a reboot and load it with KDE ans see what happens.
I use Banshee music player and music box music player, same problem with both of them.

richard wayburn sr · 06-25-2006, 08:30 PM

I also downloaded kline with the same results

Ok I don't think your CD rom is the problem. Do you get sound at all? Does KDE play a wav file when you log on? If you goto Yast/Hardware/Sound what sound system does it say it finds?

richard wayburn sr · 06-26-2006, 07:00 PM

Yast/Hardware/Sound:
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller.
configured as sound card number 0
driver snd-via82xx

I also did the sound test while in Yast/Hardware/Sound and speakers work fine...when I log on and the lizard appears, the pc plays music.

Hmm...
Log into KDE and click on the konsole icon in the panel bar (It looks like a little computer) and open a command prompt konsole. Type the following at the command prompt

Code:

su
tail -f /var/log/messages

Leave that window open

Try to play a cd again in KDE. Let it fail. Go back to the console. Hit Ctrl-C to stop the tail and copy the new lines that appeared (hopefully) and paste it into a post here so that we can see the output. Hopefully we get a more verbose and helpful error message.

richard wayburn sr · 06-29-2006, 09:17 PM

I know this is a really dumb question...how do I log onto KDE? I have Gnome right now .
