Version: (using KDE 4.3.3) Compiler: gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages Using KsCD on my Gentoo with recent udev 146-r1 it refuses to even start a track. I found out that it needs a /dev/cdrom that it can play. cd /dev/ && ln -s sr0 cdrom would solve it, but that is a bad hack. My recent kernel 2.6.31 gives my cdrom the blockdevice /dev/sr0 and udev adds /dev/cdrom1. KDE-Systemsettings, kscd or amarok don't let me correct this, but it would be nice if kscd&co would detect the audiocd automatically with it's corresponding blockdevicd or just let it set by the user, not by the admin with a dev-hack. Am I wrong that this was the case in kde3? Interesting is that amarok tells me the numer of tracks (it shows me that it has found the cd) but refuses to start a track.

I ran into the exact same problem. Gentoo kernel 2.6.30-r5. There's no way to configure kscd. The help handbook is for kde-3. Gerard.
Hi: Same problem here on Debian sid(Linux 2.6.32 + kde 4.3.4 + Qt 4.5.3) KsCD is unable to get the configuration of the CD device correctly, it seems that only /dev/cdrom is hardcoded. It should, at least take the one configured in audiocd kioslave or at best make it automatically guess it. There are plenty of bugs filed against detecting the right CD device, for instace: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129361 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115177 or https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56817 For now the only workaround I have is manually linking /dev/cdrom to the right device. Regards,
Same thing here. udev(version 151) puts my drive at /dev/cdrom1 or /dev/dvd1. SystemSettings -> Audio CD's is set to /dev/cdrom1. But I get: $ kscd kscd(30473)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-fallenangel/ksycoca4" Query failed: Cannot open '/dev/cdrom' This CD was not found. $ kscd --version Qt: 4.6.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0) KsCD: 1.5
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
Im sorry, but this bug seems to have survived it's program. Gentoo does not supply kscd, kde4 or even qt4 anymore so I currently can't even test it, not on my productive device. I loved kscd, but now it has been almost 9 years. It seems not to be ported to kf5 completely? https://community.kde.org/Applications/17.12_repo_drop_list_kdelibs4#kmouth_.5BDONE.5D
Thanks for the update!
