Kaffeine Won't Open!?!

[basilray]

I REALLY like Kaffeine...

But suddenly it will not launch. I try to open it or to launch a video and I can see the program loading in the panel, but then it disappears and never opens.

I uninstalled and reinstalled from the 7.1 CD-ROM, but it didn't seem to change anything.

Any suggestions?

Oddly...

It will open if I run: kdesu kaffeine

But to do that everytime I want to play a vid is aggravating.

At the CLI (Command Line Interface),

try typing this:

groups

I don't know if it will help you out.....but it's worth giving it a shot.

Are you a member of the group "video", in other words, is "video" inthere ?

When it happens, try restarting X (Control+Alt+Backspace); or it'll work when you re-start the PC. Once you get it open, try not to keep clicking it open-closed-open-closed , just keep it open, or minimized.

To get error messages:

Testing Kaffeine (xine)

Start kaffeine in the konsole

kaffeine --verbose

--verbose Output xine debug messages

and kaffeine installation check

kaffeine -w

-w, --wizard Run installation wizard

Here it tells:
