Hi,
I am having some issues with CentOS 5.
-XMMS stops playing MP3s without apparent reason. I leave it playing some album and it will just stop whenever it feels like it. It will go into "pause" and just stay there. Pressing on the pause button to resume does nothing at all. I thought it could be some newly encoded songs, but it does the same for a song that I have played 100% times.
-K3B takes 1:40 to create a DVD. Initially I thought it could be because I was writing a DVD with 2GB files on and UDF extensions, but creating the image first and then burning that takes exactly as long.
I am running a clean install of CentOS 5 i386 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (Core Due, 1GB RAM) with SELinux on "enforcing". None of these issues happen on the same machine running kubuntu 6.10.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Gabriel

you cant really be running a clean centos-5... there is no xmms there :)

Sorry, I meant an install from scratch, not upgraded from Beta or Centos 4. Of course I did add rpmforge to get XMMS, can't live without it :)

AFAIK XMMS is not actively developed. Myself currently am using VLC (from rpmforge) and RealPlayer for playing DVDs and various media files and had no problems so far. However I am still checking CentOS 5. Also Noatun (http://noatun.kde.org) that comes with CentOS 5.0 KDE may also be a viable option.
-K3B takes 1:40 to create a DVD. Initially I thought it could be because I was writing a DVD with 2GB files on and UDF extensions, but creating the image first and then burning that takes exactly as long.
It must be a K3B thing, myself am using nerolinux and have no probs with it. In fact it goes faster than in my previous SL 4.x installation.

Could this be a drive issue instead of a k3b issue? Does it play dvd's back at regular/expected speed or are they choppy. It could very well be that if you're using the ata_piix module for the drive, that you have to add some options to get it to perform properly. I had to do this on my dell 9300 laptop under c5, but afterwards things move pretty smoothly. Burning the c5 dvd takes about 2 minutes.

It is not a drive issue. The same drive in the same machine works perfectly on Ubuntu 6.10 with K3B. It does not seem to have any problems reading disks either.
I guess I am gonna spend a whole evening doing tests and recording the results (CPU, throughtput, etc).

Also make some tests using nerolinux demo, it works fully until it expires. If it crawls under nerolinux, then it is definitely a driver issue.

Well, it seems that the issue is that DMA is not enabled for /dev/hdc (the CDROM). Trying to enable it fails. Nero Linux discovered it on the first run and gave me an error message. This drive definitely works with DMA, as on Ubuntu writing a DVD is done at 6x (average), not 0.5x.
In this same PC, I couldn't install CentOS 4.5 because of DMA not enabled for the HD (/dev/sda).
Now that I have tested it, DMA does not seem to be enabled on /dev/sda either. It would explain why the system would crawl while moving stuff around the disks. (8m11.135s for 4.4G (copied from a to the same disk, different partition, considering this is a laptop), comes to 8MB/s, which I think it is slow).
Any ideas?
Thanks

On a Core Duo, shouldn't you be running the x86_64 kernel? Have you tried xine or mplayer for your player?
Just a couple of thoughts.

That really doesn't matter. If it is a desktop I'd probably also be using i386, as flash and a java plugin aren't available for 64 bit.

Which both aren't really great mp3 players. rhythmbox with the correct gstreamer plugins comes to mind.
Just a couple of thoughts.
Just thinking back.

I am afraid that no, I can't do that. Core Duos are 32Bit, while Core 2 Duos are 64Bit enabled (yeah, it is confusing). I would be using 64bit otherwise.

The problem appears when I am trying to record a DVD. VLC seems to play fine from the disc (not that I use any DVDs on the computer, everything is ripped to something smaller).
