Ruby ripper gui hangs while scanning for disk

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Please describe the steps to reproduce the situation:
a. Begin rubyripper_gtk2.rb

2) What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to press the buttons, at least. I only see a window that 
says 'Scanning /dev/cdrom/ for audio cd.' The cd player starts to spin, and it 
continues like that forever.

3) What version of rubyripper are you using? On what operating system? The
gtk2 of commandline interface?

Fedora 12, RubyRipper 0.6.0, gtk2

4) Is this not already fixed with the latest & greatest code? See for
instructions the Source tab above.

No. This is the latest and greatest.

5) Does the problem happen with all discs? If not, please attach
the output of cdparanoia -Q with a disc that gives trouble.

Yes.

6) Please explain why this change is important for you. Also, how many
users would benefit from this change?

I would like to be able to use RubyRipper

Please provide any additional information below. The more usefull
information provided, the sooner the issue will be fixed.

Same here.  0.6.0 from from the download or from git.  CLI works fine, 
graphical interface hangs.

Is there any error related info visible when launched from a terminal?

You might wanna set the value of create_cue to false and see if it helps. See 
the settings file $HOME/.config/rubyripper/settings.

Otherwise uprading to ruby-1.9 will probably solve your problems.

Hello, I am a long time user of ruby ripper and it worked always great for me. 
This weekend I upgraded from opensuse 11.2 to 11.3 and now rubyripper fails 
with exactly the same error as described above.

I digged a little in the code and what fails is the initial call to 
scan_drive(). In scan_drive it is the Disc.new command which fails. As a test I 
commented out the Thread.new (and the corresponding end). Now things work 
better. I have not yet checked if everything works. But I guess there is a 
problem with the multithreading. If you want me to provide more info, please 
tell me what.

Cheers
Frank

#5 - do you mean if you do cdparanoia it does keep spinning or it just displays 
the toc like normal and spins down?  I'm unclear about that.

I can confirm that the hack mentioned in #7 works for me on Fedora 12.

This is in no way reproducable. I guess the right way to solve this is to file 
a bug at your distribution to upgrade to a Ruby 1.9 version. It's out there for 
almost four years, so one can hardly call it bleeding edge, right?
