Playing CDs, and being able to view the virtual file system on an audio CD in Dolphin, are two distinctly different things. To view the virtual filesystem in Dolphin you *need* kdemultimedia-kio-plugins installed. >> It seems not to have worked.

You /could/ force the over-riding of the authenticity check but it's strongly recommended *not* to. You likely debian-archive-keyring package installed. You can check with:- dpkg --get-selections | grep debian-archive-keyring If you get nothing from the above command you'll need to install it or you will *not* be able to *securely* install *any* debian packages. There are two ways of doing that:- Easiest, least secure (as root):- apt-get --force-yes install debian-archive-keyring Better:- 1. Open the following link in your web browser:- https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=debian-keyring&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all§ion=main 2. Follow the link matching the Debian release you have installed[*1] (you don't tell us) and download that package:- e.g. if you run wheezy, follow that link:- https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/debian-keyring/download to the mirrors page for that packages:- https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/debian-keyring/download and choose the nearest mirror nearest your location. 3. Download the appropriate package for your Debian release 4. Install the debian-archive-keyring. As root:- dpkg -i debian-keyring_*_all.deb Regardless of which method you use, you should now be able to install kdemultimedia-kio-plugins without a security warning. You'll then be able to view the virtual CD audio filesystem. *Important* Not having the keyring installed may have caused you to miss updates. After installing the keyring as root:- 1. Update the package database:- apt-get update 2. Check for updates (but don't install them - yet[*2]):- apt-get -s upgrade | more 3. Page through (by pressing the space bar) what will happen if you upgrade your packages. If nothing you care about is going to be removed - proceed with the upgrade:- apt-get -y upgrade [*1] If you don't know what release you have installed, run the following as a normal user:- lsb_release -sc [*2] As you didn't have debian-keyring installed it's possible you have other problems. If you'd like help checking your sources.list run the following as a normal user and post the output:- cat /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}|grep '^[^$\|^#\|^\s*\#]' >> E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes >> root@debian:/home/steve#t would be nice to have a list of tracks on >> the cd but maybe not essential.

Agreed on both points. <snipped> How audio CDs display in Dolphin:- http://ge.tt/7X7t4v22/v/0 KDE ref:- https://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin/File_Management#Encode_and_copy_audio_CD_tracks Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
