[opensuse] 10.2 DVD problem
Hello SuSE people, Did a ktorrent on 10.2 64bit. Downloaded 3.7G and md5sums seem to be OK. Opened it with K3B and burned it to DVD. Shut down the box and tried to boot from the new DVD. Got a message "No OS" Shut down again and rebooted to look at the DVD. Could not mount it and got this message. "Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist. What the heck does that mean???? How can I tell if I burned a bootable DVD?

Seemed? Did it pass the Data Integrity Test?

Not to hijack the thread, but could you expand on that a bit? I'm running 10.0 and I use that function of YaST to check install media, but it doesn't actually tell me what the md5sum it arrives at is. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I mean here, it either passes or fails. It either was OK, or it wasn't. If it wasn't checked against the online md5sum, then at least

That check doesn't tell you the md5sum, but it does verify the media against something on the disk, and will give an OK if it is correct. I am not sure exactly how it works, but I do know it does work very well, and will work for an even newer versions discs. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well here's my kvetch. I dl'ed the SLED10 DVD iso. burned a disk (after verifying the md5sum of the dl to be good) and when I tried to install SLED10 it failed with missing packages. I just want to make sure that I can use this to actually check install media. (BTW I'm not going to discuss the SLED10 install fail in this thread. It can wait till next week when I try it again.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It doesn't, but it works. You get something like this: Check started (/dev/hdc)...

Interesting. Is there a way, independent of YaST to do a m5sum check on mounted optical media? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The CD / DVD drive device remains accessible as a regular block device even when the file system it contains is mounted. You can do this: % md5sum /dev/hdc Naturally, you must use the proper device name for your system. You may need to be or become root to do this.

For kicks, here's the result for the 10.0 distribution DVD: 7d7dee93b47903158a2c648c3119cf47 /dev/hdc This is the value for the 10.2 GM DVD: ecb3ec66aa306dd880ae78e5f2b5200d /dev/sr0 By the way, if you have GKrellM or a similar graphical system activity monitor, it's mildly fun to watch the I/O throughput as the reading process proceeds from the small inner tracks to the larger outer ones (and, for dual-layer discs, decreasing again as it goes back to the inner ones).

YaST uses /usr/bin/checkmedia, which indeed uses md5sum. In /usr/share/doc/packages/checkmedia/README you can find the differences between checkmedia and a plain md5sum (basically, the 'real' md5sum is stored there, but checkmedia reads it as 0 for the purposes of calculating the checksum, then goes back and compares with the value actually stored there to see if it is correct) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When I burn a CD or DVD, first I run "md5sum -c MD5SUMS" to verify a good download. Then I tell K3b to verify the data, after writing. I then do a media check on the disks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Same here. But I have a question or two about the media verification in YaST. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

did you burn it as an image? opening the dvd should show a opensuse tree, not an iso file jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think you have two different and independent problems: 1) Your normal system has problems mounting dvds ("Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist.) 2) The 10.2 was burned incorrectly.

Hi Carlos, No, I can mount other DVD's and view their contents. e.g. my 9.2 and 10.0 disks, for example.
2) The 10.2 was burned incorrectly.
I suppose that is possible but I can't read it to find out.
As to 1), I use manual mounting only, so I can't help.
Rajko sent me a tip re: this exact same message but it pertained to being unable to mount a floppy drive. There was a bug report on it in June but was closed as a duplicate and the duplicated one is not publicly accessable.

I think I remember something of that story, but not the details. The only advice I can give is the one I use: I only mount manually, I don't care about automounting features, I do not like them. You need the clasical line in /etc/fstab: /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 substitute /dev/hdc for your dvd device, and make sure /mnt/dvd (or any other place you like) exists and is empty. Then you mount with the command "mount /mnt/dvd" in a terminal. I don't remember right now if you needed to dissable something in 9.3, but I could check my notes - that's what you were using, right? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hi Bob S. If you just clicked to DVD iso image than k3b will burn DVD properly. if you trying from 10.1 that might be related to: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-06/msg00215.html The article is about floppy, but the error is in HAL and probably applies. You would probably need mentioned update, if the problem is solved :-). -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
