Kaffeine in Kubuntu 8.04 is no longer borked.

[Rod Lovett]

Oh well changing the xine engine parameter media in Kaffeine settings from dev/cdrom and dev/dvd both to /dev/scdo stops all this sillyness and survives reboot so once again well done Douglas.

P.S.

This "scd0 advice" was certainly somewhat more helpful than the below su(do) advice dictated too often in (K)ubuntu land.

FYI there is no such thing as never in a free world and this was but an experiment ly, and merely exhibited the confusion and false trails this scd0 issue has caused users out there. GUI is the future for most users, and as they say in Debian land
 "if you break it you get to keep both halves" 
ie caveat emptor, a learning experience.
An open mind is like a parachute, it can save one.
A closed mind is like a closed parachute---can be disastrous.
Best
Rod
