Hi Bernd, You had been listing some error messages when trying to mount a CD. if this is an AUDIO cd it is normal that you get errors, Audio CDs are NOT mounted, but played only. (The audio CD browser in Konqueror does however show the content of Audio CDs as if they would be mounted, even as (virtual) MP3 files or OGG files. You can then copy them to another dirve easily.) Your icons are irrelevant. No program cares about them. All they see is what is in your fstab, and what is linked to these devices in /dev. If you use SCSI emulation, (you probably do) make sure the links are set correctly. dvd / cdrecorder / cdrom must link to the device of your choice, sr0 or sr1. set the link accordingly. ONLY this link counts. And not your icon. Example: If your dvd is sr0 (and the cdwriter is sr1), you should set the link (in /dev) from dvd to sr0. If you want this drive to be know as cdrom, you do the same again for the link cdrom: as root: ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder If you want your cdwriter to be cdrom, you use instead ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrom You have to get your fstab correct, you say it is, but you do not list it. In fstab you do usually only link the devices cdrom, dvd, and cdrecorder to their mountpoints: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 You see that this is independent from sr0, sr1, or even hdc, hdd if you do not use scsi-emulation ( I have dvd as ide-cd device, and cdwirter as ide-scsi device, works fine.) Your icon should then only point to /dev/cdrom, or /dev/dvd/, or /devcdrecorder. But again, this affects ONLY what gets mounted when you click the icon. NO software looks for the icon, they go directly to the devices /dev/cdrom etc., and some even to /dev/srx or /dev/hdx. So, - set your links in /dev correctly. - don't mess with fstab - get your cables from dvd and cdwriter to the sound card installed. and it should work. if KsCD looks at /dev/cdrom only (I don't know, never looked at) and you want it to play the other device, set the link /dev/cdrom accordingly (and not your icons). If this is too much mess, just run the k3b setup. Sooner or late you might want to record CDs anyway. The k3b setup set all the rights and links and the fstab for you, I found it to be doing it correct all the time for me. However check afterwards, it might add already existing devices to fstab again. HTH, Matt T. On Wednesday 19 March 2003 09:26, Franklin Maurer wrote:

Unfortunately, they are tied to these two icons.
An example: /dev/dvd > sr0 is my DVD hardware device, /dev/cdrom > sr1 is my CD-RW hardware device. Icon #1 points to /dev/cdrom > sr1. The device files are properly symlinked and fstab is correct. -- If I put in an audioCD in my CD-RW, KsCD (a cd player) is started and plays my audioCD. If I change Icon #1 to point to /dev/dvd > sr0, and put an audioCD in my DVD hardware device,KsCD is started but it doesn't see my audioCD. If I put it in my CD-RW hardware device (even though Icon #1 points to /dev/dvd > sr0) and press Icon #1, KsCD is started and plays my audioCD. The same thing happens with the other icon, just with another application.
How many cd/dvd related icons do you have? Do you have dvd, cdrom, and cdrecorder? Make them point to the appropriate device and leave them be. Also leave your links alone.
I think the confusion is that kscd defaults to /dev/cdrom which is your burner. It doesn't matter if you have the icon point to /dev/dvd or /dev/zip the program wants to look at /dev/cdrom(unless changed). If you open kscd and go to Config(the tools) and change it to /dev/dvd it should then play the cd in your dvd. Try to put one audio cd in each drive, open kscd. Play the one in the cdrw(stop it and) then Switch between the two audio cds(or devices) in the config window. /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom. As long as the audio cable is connected to both devices and the line in mixer / volume control is set properly you should be able to play audio cd's in both drives. When you want to play a cd I'd open the app using the menu rather than the icon, I see how this could have gotten confusing. I'm assuming SuSE detects an audio cd, kscd must be the default audio player it opens checks it's config info and then looks for the cd in /dev/cdrom... just guessing though.
Can you mount a data cd from the command line? Try ... mount /dev/dvd mount /dev/cdrom ls -l /media/cdrom or cdrecorder depending on your fstab ls -l /media/dvd You also should be able to right click on the cd icon > choose mount, and then try the ls -l /media/cdrecorder or cdrom. Also try this by right clicking the dvd icon.
