DVD, And a large bump on my head

[MarioLanning]

The large bump on my head is from banging my head into the monitor..

Ok, I'm a newbie.. I installed RedHat 7.3 with a very nice looking install of KDE 3.0.0 (I want 3.1 but thats a post in another forum)

Problem is I cant get this Ogle thingie to work.. I installed all the stuff from the Ogle site. I try to poen up the DVD and Poof, ogle just closed out with no error what so ever.

I installed Ogle 0.8.5 with all the little RPM packages they had on their site (some installed serval times because of frustration)

I just dont know what to do. Please HELP ME. If I bang my head any more I might need to get x-rays to check for damage.

Have you tried running Ogle through the command line? Try that (ogle), you'll see the messages in the terminal so you can get a better idea of why it's crashing...

I doubt you installed the RPMs more then once, once installed it won't let you do it again :p
Unless you did a lot of removing and putting back on and ect...yuck!

Maybe your missing a library or something silly like that? check the output from the terminal and let us know :D

What do I type in for the command line?

ogle

It appears that it wants to open the DVD from /dev/dvd but my DVD drive is mounted as /mnt/cddrive


How do I change this?

[Icarus]

Don't you hate that error? ;)

easy way around it....make a symlink from dvd to cdrom...

ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd

or you can try editing the config file to point to /dev/cdrom

Yahooo... It worked.. Hmm.. but it seems to be very jiddery. Its a Dell Optiplex GS 240 P4 512 megs of ram and a nVidia Gforce 2 Ultra 64


Is there a buffer thingie that I can fiddle with?

[MarioLanning]

I think I figure out the jidders. I think its my sound.. Ive had nothing but problems with the sound on this machine.

No ideas on how to fix this problem with Ogle?

[Alistair]

How bad is your sound quality?

Personally, it does that for me too and I've had no 'blems with sound totally, and I've been usin' it for a little while. :-?

What's your sound card? Might not be very well supported :(

Try turning DMA on for the driver, should smooth things out
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx

hdx = where your cd-rom is linked to
