Ripping with grip locks the system hard

[jewellgm]

Hi All,

I have been using grip to rip cd's for the past few months without problem. Since last night, however, every time I attempt to rip a CD the system locks up hard. This always happens right at the beginning of the ripping process.

Since the last time I've attempted to rip a CD, I've upgraded KDE from 3.4 to 3.5.2. I also updated device-mapper last night before I tried the rip.

Does anybody have an idea what this could be? I know I haven't provided a lot of information, but I'm hoping somebody might have a clue as to what could cause this.


Thanks!

Hi,

Can you tell me what cdrom device file you're using (Config tab in grip), and then do an "ls -l /dev/that_device_file".

What ripping method are you using (Built-in cdparanoia libs, external cdparanoia....)?

Thanks for the response. grip is attempting to rip from /dev/cdrom. An ls -l shows that it's a link to /dev/hda, owner and group is root, permissions are 777, and device number 3.

According to the config tab of grip, the ripper is grip (cdparanoia).


Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I've got the same problem (+ same configuration). Did you find a solution?
