http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552701 Summary: The device sr0 is not available to VLC or Xine in user account, but is available in root Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hygrocyb@bigpond.net.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102100 SUSE/3.0.15-0.1 Firefox/3.0.15 In openSUSE11, an installation of either VLC or Xine can immediately open a dvd in the optical drive by addressing it as /media/sr0 or /dev/sr0. If you try to use the same software in openSUSE 11.2 with the same general address, you are told that the device does not exist. It is possible to navigate to the actual file on the optical drive and open it that way in VLC or paste in the same location in Xine. The dvd will then run. If however, you close the user account and try the same thing in root, then the dvd is instantly available using either of the above addresses. This suggests that this is a permissions problem It was supposed to be fixed in 11.1. It has NOT BEEN FIXED, even with all patches applied for 11.1, the sr0 device behaves in exactly the same way. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install VLC with libdvdcss2-1 also installed so all dvd's can be played 2.insert dvd and wait for system to detect and then open VLC 3.navigate to open disk and select play Actual Results: a text message appears telling you that device sr0 does not exist Expected Results: the dvd should be playing in VLC.......which it does in openSUSE 11, but not in either 11.1 or 11.2 The -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
