My CD or USB portable device.
Having had installation problems yesterday, which have been solved by the way, (I'm only 1 day old in Linux) I decided to test a DVD. It wouldn't work so i followed the instructions posted in the 'HOW TO' section of the board and I can now view DVD's through Kaffiene.
Now my first question is this:
After I installed yesterday, I could place my portable USB storage device into a USB port and it would be instantly picked up by Kubuntu. This morning after I updated the system fully it doesn't do that. Any ideas? I know that's a hardware question but the next involves a software question.
My second question is this:
Placing a CD in the drive doesn't get a respeonse either from the desktop. No CD icon appears. I manually open up Amarok and select 'PLAY CD,' but again, no response from Amarok or the system. Any ideas?
I've install the following packages:
alsa-base
alsa-utils
alsa-oss
alsamixergui
alsaplayer-alsa
alsaplayer-common
alsamixergui
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
libxine-extracodecs
I hope to hear from you guys soon. You've all been very helpful to somebody like myself switching over from Windows and I can't thank you enough. There's just a few more things to iron out though.
Edit: Ok after a few tweaks...Amarok finds my CD in the drive and is playing it right now. SUCCESS!
What's still confusing though is why the CD icon isn't appearing on the desktop and why it's not finding my portal storage USB device when it did yesterday before the updates.
