Ok, some more inforamtion that may help illuminate the problem. When I am logged in as a normal user and I insert an Audio CD and icon appears on the desktop and totem plays the CD. When I am root nad I insert an Audio CD an icon appears on the desktop but nothing plays. No errors appear in messages. However if I run totem I get the following errors: (totem:1960): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module `/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libcdda.so' (/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libcdda.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (totem:1960): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module `/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libcdda.so' (/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libcdda.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) This is not surprising since there is no libcdda.so in the installed gnome-vfs2 rpm. So why does totem play the CD as a normal user? Next step is I run gnome-cd and get this error several times: (gnome-cd:1995): WARNING **: ERROR: Could not open CD device for reading. So how come the program can read the CD when I am a normal user? Any ideas? This seems crazy and backwards. ======================================================================= Thyme's Law: Everything goes wrong at once. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210)-999-7484 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
