There seems to be a problem with hal detecting the devices. I have also found that if I try the first drive (CDRW, sr0) I get additional error messages as follows:- DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. and Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.UnknownError. Also with this drive I find /media has directories added AUDIO AUDIO_ AUDIO__ and so on, with more added every few seconds or possibly when I click on the OK of the eroor message. These directories are drwx------ root root so presumably that is why I cannot access. However I have no idea of the mechanism behind this activity. All I know is that I cannot use my system for the desired purpose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I only added cdrom group because that was suggested in other threads. Will remove it if you so advise. Here is info from 70-persistent-cd.rules :- # (pci-0000:02:08.0-scsi-0:0:4:0) ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:02:08.0-scsi-0:0:4:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1" ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:02:08.0-scsi-0:0:4:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" # (pci-0000:02:08.0-scsi-0:0:5:0) ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:02:08.0-scsi-0:0:5:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1" I shall need some help with output from other commands as output is large. How do I dump to a file and attach here please?
