Are you saying you reformatted all partitions? Did you specifically
reformat the partition /home is on?

Anyway the problem is with playing audio CD's on a CD player using Xine
or Kaffeine. Here's the symptoms.
Under KDE Kaffeine starts up fine, plays a few seconds of the audio CD,
ejects the CD and then says:

"No plugin found to handle the resource [cdda:///dev/hdd/2]"
Looking in the details I see:

"xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [cdda:///dev/hdd/2]" and
"xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [cdda:///dev/hdd/2"


Sounds like messed up user settings (hence my questions above). Try
checking the configuration via Kaffeine.


Joe, thanks for coming back with a suggestion.

Yup,

All partitions were reformatted. I knew Suse had switched from ReiserFS
to Ext3 as its default. I only have two now and the nifty "My Computer"
says that both are ext3.

Kaffeine says my audio CD device is /dev/cdrom. I have one of those, it
is a link that points to hdd. Don't know if this makes a hill of beans
worth of difference, but the implicit_config option us turned off.

Been mucking around uninstalling stuff (Kaffeine, xine, libxine etc) and
reinstalling. Now when I put in an audio CD, the system ejects it after
about 15 seconds or so. When you watch My Computer, you see the system
recognize the CD as an audio CD, then the Audio CD entry disappears from
My Computer and the CD ejects. It recognizes what it has for a few
seconds and then something comes along and says "Oh no you don't".
Regular data CD's are just fine. The system recognizes them, you can
bop around in directories and they don't disappear. When I manually fire
up the Xine UI, it says it is missing MRL's. Running xine-check at the
command line prompt doesn't turn up any errors, just a suggestion to
turn on DMA for the CD Rom.

I really don't want to reinstall again just in case something was munged
on the original install. I went though a couple of those to get this
far (text only install, APIC(? never can remember how to spell that)
Power functions turned off, etc.).

BTW I had a typo before. Both hdd entries were hdd/2 I mistyped one as
being hdd/1

Thanks again.
