That's A LOT of stuff to install/uninstall, is this normal?

That doesn't seem normal to me. Could aptitude just be taking care of dependencies for other programs?

[rainwalker]

I guess so...I'll go ahead and try it tomorrow and let you know what happens

Definitely. Let me know how it goes and I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help

awsome tutorial, but i've got one problem.

everything installed okay. but when i start rubyripper, in the main window it sais "Cdrom drive scd0 does not exist on your system! Please first configure your cdrom drive first."

strange thing is that the cdrom works fine in everything else. it picks up in gnome in general, sound juicer and rhythmbox both pick em up. and when i tell rubyripper to open the cd drive, it does. but when i close the cd drive, rubyripper wont read the cd, just gives me back the same message.

any ideas?

okay, found this solution in another thread.
i ran the command: ls -l /dev/cdrom*
which gave me the following results:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-08-05 19:23 /dev/cdrom -> scd0

with this, a user suggested that i go into rubyripper preferences, and change the cdrom field from /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0

it worked for me, so just thought i would post it here in case someone runs into the same problem.

Wish I had your luck. That's the first thing I tried...no go. And I already have the symlinks in /dev pointing to scd0

This problem has plagued me since I first tried to run Ruburipper a long time ago. Nothing seems to change. I get that 'does not exist!' runaround no matter if I set it to cdrom, scd0, hdc or whatnot--and this despite the fact that the 'open/close tray' button works! Go figure...

[rainwalker]

Awesome, everything worked for me
Had to change the path to my CD drive to /dev/scd0 but that's it, thanks!

I was having that problem as well, and your solution worked for me! Thanks I'll edit the OP in case anybody else is having difficulties, and maybe file a bug report.
