crazypig Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I’m running Gnome 2.10 on Mandriva 2006 and when I insert a CD then Cdplayer automatically detects this and runs and then freezes when it comes to playing the CD. So this is a little annoying but I'd rather use Totem anyway. Cdplayer will open ok from the menu and works fine until I try and play a CD so I've been able to change the preferences to not automatically open (and crash) when a CD is inserted. Basically I've two options I think. 1-fix Cdplayer so it works or 2-associate Totem with CDs this is already the association for DVDs. (preferably both of these) So I suppose I really just need to know how to associate file types with applications. It sounds obvious but .. I know its easier in KDE but this is Gnome. Thanks.

theYinYeti Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 This actually is not due to file association, but to dynamic scripts instead. You only need to edit the /etc/dynamic/user-scripts/* to your liking :) Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Welcome aboard. :) Just for your information: The gnome-cd player in 2006 is broken, but there is an update available that fixes it. Go to the easyurpmi site http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php set up your software mirrors and update the system (if you have broadband, of course, otherwise it will be a long and costly procedure).

crazypig Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Wow. Thanks Guys. I can stop looking for the file associations now then. Interesting to know that the cd player is broken and its not just me, I'll have a look at the fix sometime. This actually is not due to file association, but to dynamic scripts instead. You only need to edit the /etc/dynamic/user-scripts/* to your liking :) right I'll start looking at these user scripts. thanks for the pointer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 If you still want to change the default program for a specific file type, see this topic: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?s=&...st&p=231740 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
