| |
Every time I use KDE's CD player, my system is constantly giving CDROM errors every time I use the CD for anything else.
Scenario: I run KDE, use the CD player to play an audio CD. If I eject the CD with the program, or with the actual button, I end up getting a stream of errors printed on my console. The only way to stop this is to put an AUDIO CD into the thing. I'm assuming that KDE's CD player is the thing that needs repair here. Nonetheless, it is annoying that a user mode program can dump tonnes of error messages to my console, as WELL as my syslog, which IMHO opens the doors for DoS attacks.
If this is a kernel issue, let me know how to fix it. If it is an application issue, how can I fix it at the kernel or syslog level? I really could not care less if there is no CD in the CDROM and the CDplayer software insists on telling me that there is no CD every 5 seconds or whatever - even though I never told it to look for a CD in the first place...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
