ripperX for Debian ------------------ ripperX got a much-needed shot in the arm from Dave Cinege, who picked up the Debian source and fixed a great number of bugs. Check the debian/changelog for details, but in brief: * generated filenames should be safe now * no more empty tmp directories left around * the progress bar works with cdparanoia 9.8 * using openpty() now, which should be devfs safe There is an outstanding bug that occurs when the CDDB artist name contains the string ' / '. ############################ # FINDING YOUR CDROM DRIVE ############################ All access to the CD-ROM in ripperx is done via cdparanoia. By default, cdparanoia will look at /dev/cdrom (which you could symlink to /dev/scd0, for example), or you can specify the correct device directly via ripperX. To do this: * click on Config * click on the Wav tab in the Config dialog * type "-d /dev/scd0" into the Extra Options field If you continue to have problems accessing your CD-ROM device, you can try using "cdparanoia -v -Q" to access the device to look for meaningful error messages. Oftentimes the problem is related to permissions - either the userid running ripperx is not a member of the "cdrom" group, or the device permissions on your CD-ROM device themselves are not correct. -- tony mancill Sun, 09 Jul 2006 21:12:35 -0700
