I had UT2004 installed before, and did not have to do this, but now this install of the game requires I play audio with some other app; I wish I could solve that mystery and find a way around it.

Hmm... Looks like Mandriva are doing some strange things in regards to device permissions... My laptop still has MDK 8.2 on it. You would expect that they'd have fixed that bug by now... -- With kind regards, *Aragorn* (Registered Gnu/Linux user #223157)

Close Kaffeine. Hit Cltl + Esc, to bring up the Process Table window. Is Kaffeine still listed? It is in mine. Select Kaffeine, and click the kill button, and then click the second kill button. When Kaffeine is removed, start xine or totem and select Play DVD. Works for me. Kaffeine, for me, always stutters, and skips. Not much, but enough to be annoying. Xine or totem play smoothly, as does mplayer. I'd also like to know which file to edit to change the default DVD player to something other than Kaffeine. -- imotgm

Seems to work much better. Can't say why I am having the problem with Xine, but I can live with just Totem just fine. Thanks for all the input guys! ;) |
