Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I don't know if anyone might have some more insight into this, but I'm |
| 4 |
going to try anyway. |
| 5 |
|

At the first of June, I posted saying that kaudiocreator kept freezing |
| 7 |
during the ripping process. When it froze, ps -ax revealed that the |
| 8 |
process of kaudiocreator and kscd both were in "uninterruptible sleep" |
| 9 |
(i.e. they had a D beside them). When this happens, my system locks up |
| 10 |
and I can't even open the CD tray. I have to push the reset button to |
| 11 |
restart my system. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
There is no consistency in what is going on. I have ripped 1 CD in |
| 14 |
entirety, another kept freezing, but when I started kaudiocreator again, |
| 15 |
I was able to rip the tracks a couple at a time. Sometimes it will rip |
| 16 |
a track, start to encode (ogg vorbis) and then freeze. The only |
| 17 |
commonality that the CD's have is the artist. They are all new (meaning |
| 18 |
not used) and range from a release date of 1994 to 2006. The 2006 |
| 19 |
release ripped fine in kaudiocreator under kde 3.4.3, but won't rip |
| 20 |
under kde 3.5.2. And it's not likely that it's a copy protection issue |
| 21 |
since the 2006 release ripped fine under kde 3.4.3. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I try to keep my system up to date and use relatively few testing |
| 24 |
releases. I deliberately waited for kde 3.5 to become stable by Gentoo |
| 25 |
standards before upgrading. Since the initial upgrade of KDE 3.5 (meta) |
| 26 |
(installed to a new slot), I've removed both KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5.2 and |
| 27 |
reinstalled. I've wiped my .kde/share/config directory and started |
| 28 |
fresh. Nothing seems to help. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
As previously stated, kaudiocreator worked fine under kde 3.4.3. Also, |
| 31 |
I've been able to burn a data CD in kde 3.5.2, so I know that it's not |
| 32 |
the CD drive. /var/log/messages keeps telling me that the drive isn't |
| 33 |
ready, but I can hear it spinning up. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'd like to get this thing working. It's not that I'm so enamoured with |
| 36 |
kaudiocreator. When I was a Fedora Core user, I used sound-juicer. |
| 37 |
However, I *am* enamoured with Gentoo because I don't have to install |
| 38 |
all the bloat of things that I don't want. sound-juicer requires the |
| 39 |
Gnome Desktop and I refuse to have that on my system. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Any ideas would be appreciated. |

Regards, |
