So, now that this problem is solved, I still need to deal with the
original issue I posted about, which succinctly put is that I am a
newbie mucking around trying to get all of the multimedia goodies
installed. I have Helix and I have installed the w32codex, gstreamer,
etc. However, Either I haven't installed everything or I have
installed something that I shouldn't have.
I get the following from the gnome-cd player:
Error playing CD.
Reason: Resource busy or not available.
Goobox can't even find the CD (plus sometimes quits as soon as it
starts) and Rythmbox and VLC refuse to play any audio files,
regardless of whether they are .ogg, .mp3, etc.
I thought I was just following the process for get multimedia to work,
but there is definitely something not right here. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian
