Description Eric McRae 2001-01-04 15:56:52 UTC
Even though Gnome has been configured to no automatic actions on insertion
of a CD and even if magicdev has been uninstalled, Gtcd seems unable to
play more than a fraction of a second of a CD.  Tcd can play CDs easily if
magicdev is not running, even when Gtcd can't.

Gtcd can display the disk/track titles so it manages to read some info from
the CDs.

The general behavior is that when you hit play, the button switches to a
pause button - indicating play mode.  Then it will revert back to being a
play button within a fraction of a second.  Repeated clicking of this
button sometimes produces a tiny bit of audio from the start of the track.

The system is up2date - running on a Dell Precision 410.

Has this been resolved in later releases?

Comment 2 Eric McRae 2001-06-11 02:13:15 UTC
I'm still running 7.0 but have all the updates as of today 10 June 01.  The
problem is still there.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2001-07-24 04:19:43 UTC
Should have asked the obvious question before now - what model CD drive?
(What's in /proc/ide/hdX/model?)



Comment 4 Eric McRae 2001-07-24 13:46:02 UTC
The CD-ROM drive is SCSI based.  Here's what's in /proc/scsi/scsi:
Attached devices:

  Vendor: QUANTUM  Model: ATLAS 10K 9WLS   Rev: UCH0

Comment 5 Havoc Pennington 2002-02-26 19:59:05 UTC
Currently deferring all noncritical GNOME 1.x bugs, new development is 
taking place based on the GNOME 2 codebase.

If the CD problem happens with multiple CD apps and not just gtcd, it might make
sense to reopen this bug and assign it to the kernel component.
