I think I've lost more time to this cotton-pickin' "resmgr" than any other problem in Linux. Once again, with this new version (9.2), I have to sort out why programs like Grip and sound-juicer can't read from my SCSI CD-ROM. Now, mind you, Grip can read the CD, and lookup the info in the CDDB, but I can't actually, you know, READ IT for actually playing the CD or ripping from it.
Explain that one to me.
Apparently, I'm the only mortal on the planet who has an actual, real-life SCSI CD-ROM. Because this problem has existed ever since SuSE decided to start using this infernal "resmgr" software.
I've once again hacked up /etc/resmgr.conf, restarted the daemon, and as root done both ``resmgr logout <user>'' and ``resmgr login <user> :0''. As my user, I can see:
rws- /dev/cdrom rws- /dev/cdrom11 rw-p /dev/dvd rws- /dev/sr0 rws- /dev/sr1
Which shows that I *ought* to have read-write access to my SCSI CD-ROM, my SCSI CD-RW, my IDE DVD ($10 after rebate!), and the base SCSI devices pointed to by the /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom11 devices. I've even got this on the actual device:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 2 18:43 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 brw------- 1 david disk 11, 0 Oct 2 03:38 /dev/sr0
I'm at a loss. Again. Can anyone out there tell me how many chickens I'm going to have to sacrifice before resmgr lets me access my hardware?
And just to head it off early, yeah, I can rip a CD from the IDE DVD, but this same problem is also preventing me from burning discs with K3B.
Thanks, dk I might not be able to solve your problem but.... What SCSI adapter are you using? I heard the advansys one is broken in 9.2 which is why I'm not upgrading.... Also, which version of K3b are you using? I was using v0.11.15 but I could not get it to accept my IDE or SCSI CD writers, upgrading to 0.11.17 cured that

I still had the problem that I couldn't write mp3's to CD because the 0.11.17.pm.2 K3b rpm was dependant on id3lib-3.8.2.pm.2 rpm, but the actual program was linked against id3lib-3.8.2-233 so a quick rpm --force sorted things out. For me the SCSI & IDE CD Devices are both working now, although, I had to remove grip when I upgraded the id3lib rpm and have'nt re-installed it. I use kaudiocreator instead now. There is a thread that leads through the tail of woe, look for mp3 to cdda Best of luck Phil
