No access to CD-ROM after upgrade to KDE 3.1 with SuSE 8.0
So what could be wrong? * The CD-ROM drive shows up when probing the HW * It shows up in boot.msg (<4>hdb: SONY CD-RW CRX160E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive) * As root I can access it, but not as an ordinary user * It all worked perfectly well before I upgraded to KDE 3.1 Can anybody help? -- ||||||| \\ - - // ( @ @ ) +--------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo--------------+ Kjell-Einar Ofstad Mobile : +47 900 86 827 E-mail : Kjell-Einar.Ofstad@keo.no +------------------Oooo-------------------+ oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_)

What do you get when you run the command: la /dev/cdrom la /dev/cdrecorer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2003-05-10 06:07 /dev/cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2003-05-10 06:07 /dev/cdrecorder ->sr0 brw------- 1 crrey disk 22, 0 2003-03-14 05:07 /dev/hdc brw------- 1 crrey disk 11, 0 2003-03-14 05:07 /dev/sr0 ? Are you permissions set and does the user account belong to the right groups, e.g. users, audio, disk (or in some cases - due ot certain software configs... cdrecord)? Cheers, Curtis. ;)

Kjell-Einar, If all things work as root but not as user, then it should be a simple matter of permissions. Your root has permissions, your user does not. I left the output to your cdrom above to make my point. Notice the root root owner & group?

I think so, too.

This is not the problem, because this is a symlink and the permissions are 777 and the real permissions are gathered from the destination /dev/hdc. But /dev/hdc has correct permissions. My thought is, that /dev/hdc is not the correct device. The whole output mailed by Kjell-Einar shows the cdrecorder to be a scsi device /dev/sr0 if I remember correctly. So it is possible that he is running ide-scsi kernel module and the cdrom device should be symlinked to /dev/sr1. Daniel
Sorry people, my fault!!! :-( Forgot that I had removed a hard-disk. So my CD-ROM just moved from /dev/hdc to /dev/hdb. How could anybody know ? :-) mvh Kjell-Einar On Wednesday 14 May 2003 09:38, Kjell-Einar Ofstad wrote:
