update xmms tot 1.2.8
and config it :AudioCD playing etc.
i've finally gotten to the bottom of this and i post hoping to help someone with the same problem. i installed debian using the knoppix v3.3 cd, much easier than uasing the 7 cd set. in the process i was asked to set root and user p/words which, of course were different. now when i log in as root i get the kde desk top and everything works normally eliminating my cdrom problem using multimedia apps. when i log in as regular user i get the knoppix desktop- things including the cdrom didn't work the way they should. so its interesting with the knoppix desktop working as regular user i can do a lot of experimenting without breaking the kde d/top logged in as root.
interesting but that's how it works. now i'll set up a regular user account on kde and have the best of both worlds. if i just want to mess around i'll log into the knoppix desktop.
has anybody out there had similar experiences?
