Recently, my DVD drive has stopped being accessible to programs running under wine. This started when I was running oS 11.2, improved following an upgrade to 11.3, but has now recurred.
My current system is oS 11.3 with KDE 4.5.3, and Wine 1.2.
In Wine configuration, under the Drives tab, D: has no Drive mapping. Autodetect does nothing. If I browse to /dev/ and then complete the Path: to read /dev/sr0, it seems to stick until I click OK, but it has disappeared next time I open wine configuration. In the same tab, if I click the 'Show Advanced' button, there are greyed out entries for
Device: /dev/sr0 Label: Audio CD Serial: IDE02DD
None of my wine apps can see the CD/DVD drive, but it is mountable and usable in the host system.
I am in the group cdrom.
Has anyone else come across this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
- is the the hal daemon running? It is responsible for removable drive detection.
Yes.
- Or workaround:
You can link the drive in ~/.wine/dosdevices
e.g. symlink: ln -s /media/CDROMNAMELINK d:
Ciao, Marcus
Good suggestion. I found two d: symlinks in ~/.wine/dosdevices, both pointing to /dev/sr0. Deleting one made the setting stick in the wine configuration tool, which is a distinct improvement, but the programs running under wine still can't see the drive :( Thanks, Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.3 64-bit, Kernel 2.6.36.90-desktop, KDE 4.5.3 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 8GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9600GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
