Acosta, I've tried your suggestion-- I installed and ran canola-cleanup, I disabled the extras-devel repo, I refreshed, and then installed canola beta 9.

I have checked the eye ball that was next to a folder with audio files inside and when I tried to play the, canola reported "items not found."

do you have any other suggestions? could this be a permissions issue?

any guidance from you or other forum users would be great to have.

thank you,
