Version: 1.4.7 (using KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic When trying to play a CD using Kaffeine or VLC, it plays fine. Using Amarok however has amarok reporting "can not read audio cd". If I run Amarokapp from the cli it returns: amarok: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'cdda'. changing the default device to various permutations such as: /dev/hda media:/hda system:/media/hda cdda:/ seems to have no effect. There seems to be quite a large number of people reporting this on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/121177 My system is a fresh Ubuntu Gutsy Final KDE 3.5.8 Dell Inspiron 1501 CD drive seems to work fine other than this problem (both for data and music)
I can confirm this bug. It seems that xine engine looks for cdda:/ kio-slave, but it doesn't exist (now there's only audiocd:/ kio). Please this very annoying problem. Xine + AudioCD works in kaffeine-xine. In kubuntu we have only xine-engine, so I don't if it works with others (gstreamer, arts). Kubuntu 7.10 gutsy kde 3.5.8 amarok 1.4.7
Please execute the following on a console: grep "media.audio_cd.device:.*" ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config
Here's the output from grep "media.audio_cd.device:.*" ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config media.audio_cd.device:/dev/scd0 As Piers said, changing device doesn't resolve the problem. Bye Domi
Please try sed "s/media.audio_cd.device:.*/media.audio_cd.device:\/dev\/cdrom/" -i ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config Also, maybe rm ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config might help. There is simply no other explaination for this issue than a misconfiguration. Otherwise it would either work for all Ubuntu Gutsy users, or none.
I removed xine-config and now it works perfectly (with cddb too)!!!. I've got the same error in xsession-errors (cdda unknown protocol) but I'm able to listen to audiocd. Really thanks, I'm so sorry to bother you for a so stupid solution... I hope Piers can resolve his problem and close this bug. bye domi
