rrfish72,

You can also run Xine in a Konsole window, through the Command Line Interface ( CLI ), just type "xine" at the command prompt, and sometimes, you can read the problem in the text window it was started in. Its a great debugging tool, the CLI that is.

As a Side Note: If you are playing a dvd in either Xine, or Kaffeine, they both require a dvd library that doesn't come with the package already - "libdvdcss2" -=- if you don't have that installed, and you try and play a dvd, it can cause errors, or possibly crash of the program.

You can do a Search Knoppix.net for the key word libdvdcss2 to find answers on getting, and installing this library, if you don't have it.

Hope this helps,
Ms. Cuddles
