How to view audio CD in Dolphin/Konqueror?
Since installing wheezy (which replaced Kubuntu) on my main desktop machine, I have been unable to access CDs properly. Whenever I insert an audio CD, I am presented with a list of possible actions. The first of these is "open with file manager". But when I select this option, Dolphin starts with the address "audiocd:/%3Fdevice=/dev/sr0" and the message "Could not read". If I select the other options (which are to do with VLC and k3b) the other programs start and access the CD perfectly. What do I need to do to have dolphin (or konqueror, which I prefer) open the CD correctly? (If I execute the command 'dolphin "audiocd:/%3Fdevice=/dev/sr0"' from the command line, the same thing happens; no error messages appear.)

Do you have kdemultimedia-kio-plugins or in Jessie/Sid kio-audiocd installed? I think there is supposed to be an error message when it is missing, but well… Last time I tried this it worked for me.

Is there somewhere I can look for some kind of error message that might be more informative than the simple "could not read" (which doesn't immediately make a lot of sense to me, since VLC and k3b can read the CD just fine; maybe "audiocd:/%3Fdevice=/dev/sr0" isn't the right pseudo-address for dolphin/konqueror to access the CD, but that's what comes up when I click "open with file manager").

Try kdebugdialog and look on console or in ~/.xsession-errors -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

This was the list: 7117 kio_audiocd 60002 kaudiocreator kio_audiocd Then when I executed 'konqueror "audiocd:/%3Fdevice=/dev/sr0"' from the command line, I saw plenty of errors, but all related to QPainter not being active. Nothing seemed to be related to trying (and failing) to access or read the CD. Perhaps I'm not using kdebugdialog correctly (although I think it's probably close enough); the help manual is not a model of clarity.
