K9Copy Crashing When using k9copy assistant

[Rob Larson]

Hello,

When I attempt to use the k9copy assistant it seems to crash.

Here are the steps that I have done when the application crashes.

Launch k9copy assistant
The program defaults to the correct dvd drive
I select next and thats when it crashes with the following

Application: k9copy (k9copy), signal: Segmentation fault
[KCrash Handler]
#6 Solid::StorageAccess::filePath (this=0x0) at ../../../solid/solid/storageaccess.cpp:62
#7 0x0806d36b in _start ()

I tried to create a crash report but i needed to use gdb in order to see what was happining.

This is occurring on Ubuntu 9.10, 2.6.31-17-generic

From a suggestion on the Ubuntu Fourms, i inserted a dvd that was not encrypted and it got past the section of where it crashed.

I then un-installed libdvdcss along with k9copy. Reinstalled libdvdcss and then ran:
 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

re-installed K9copy and inserted a encrypted dvd and it seems to work without crashing. However, in the past the assistant would work. It would work once and then not seem to work again. Maybe something with the dvd-reader it self....Not sure if something gets loaded into the dvd player that makes it act strange.

The problem has came back even after removingeverything and re-running the install-css.sh. It seemed to work for 2-3 times and then has stopped working.
