GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 304754
Say what devices couldn't be opened when cdparanoia throws errors
Last modified: 2005-06-09 21:12:16 UTC
When the cdparanoia element can't open a device it just says "cannot open device", but doesn't say what device it can't open. Attaching a patch to fix this, and to remove a g_warning() which is useless as an error signal is being throw.

I'm not too fond of showing /dev/ node names to users, but ohwell. Better than nothing. Applied, thanks.
this is balancing between being able to fix the problem by provide some "geek-friendly" information and being user friendly.
I agree. It's very much border-line. I'm hoping Ross will somehow sed the /dev node away from the actual user dialogue (wishful thinking :) ).
