hi,
Yesterday i rent a DVD i read it with Xine wich freeze after the 9th
chapter
the dvd seems to be bad here is my kernel messages :
Dec 8 00:21:55 localhost kernel: hdb: media error (bad sector):
status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Dec 8 00:21:55 localhost kernel: hdb: media error (bad sector): error=0x34
Dec 8 00:21:55 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40
(hdb), sector 6618332
So ok my DVD was bad (i try to play it with Xine and Gmplayer ) if i
skeep the 5 buggy minutes all is ok but wen this arrived Xine Freeze
and i just can to a CTRL ALT F1 to have a console and kill xine
(note that killall didnt work) this with all debug messages from bad
sector flushing to console (hard way to see what you type) .
Gmplayer crash at the same sector but i cant kill it, a CTRL ALT
BACKSPACE reboot the Xserver and after i cant use normally my computer.
So, ok my DVD was bad but the freezing of my whole PC isnt justified.
Why dont just dispaly kernel messages into ONLY the First virtual console
Why is there so much apps that i cant kill in FC1 (as root with kill
-9 )
Thanks to your anwsers .
I use the KDE System Guard (As I run KDE) to kill the Xine App when it
freezes. As it's much easier doing it this way. No desktop switching/rebooting
X required.
