Description of problem: I'm behind a corporate firewall which has an http proxy. The http proxy is set up (other gnome applications, such as the stock ticker, use it fine). I have an audio CD ("Nockturnel Mix Sessions feat. Robert Oleysyck", but this is true for every audio CD I try) that I insert into the cdrom. gnome-cd is not able to download the cddb settings for the disc. I've tried both using the default "freedb round-robin" as well as manually selecting "freedb.freedb.org:888" via the "CD Database" capplet, to no avail. When I open grip, however, grip is able to download the cddb info; and amazingly I didn't have to turn on any http proxy settings within grip. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.6.0-1 How reproducible: Always (while behind firewall with http proxy, at least) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure gnome http proxy settings are correct. 2. Make sure gnome CD Database settings are correct. 3. Insert audio CD into drive. 4. Open gnome cd player. Actual results: gnome-cd has no disc or track info available. Expected results: gnome-cd is able to get CD info from freedb.org just as grip is able to do. Additional info:
Is grip using freedb.freedb.org?
Here is my grip config: DB server: freedb.freedb.org CGI path: ~cddb/cddb.cgi DB Submit email: freedb-submit No secondary server set. Use freedb extensions: Yes Perform disc lookups automatically: Yes
Well, if gnome-cd is using your proxy, and freedb isn't, could it actually be your proxy is blocking gnome-cd? What if you unset it?
Both gnome-cd and grip must be using my proxy because I'm behind a firewall and it wouldn't get any data otherwise. It must be using my http_proxy environment variable, since I did not set up the proxy within grip.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
This still happens in FC3. From browsing the source code for cddb-slave2, it looks like cddb-slave2 is using parts of the gnet library, so I doubt that it will even try to use the http proxy.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
