Re: [opensuse] No cd/dvd after kde update
Ok. So I had a working opensuse 10.2 a week ago with everything from the install dvd. Then i added the attached list of repos and updated my system. As the update was completed i realised i have no removable devices. No error shown, nothing. When i insert a cd/dvd nothing happens and it is not displayed in sysinfo:/ . Even so my k3b says that there are no cd/dvd devices. I have 1 cd-rw and 1 dvd-rw. I have been usinf them since suse 10 with no problem at all. Hope i`ve explained it now :) . Sorry for my english. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
hmmm. interesting.
have you checked to ensure that the modules for these drives are loaded?
go to a console and type lsmod
try using lspci to determine what drives you have. If your not sure
what modules should be loaded for these try googling the name that
you've obtained using the lspci command.
When you find the module that should be running, try using mod probe
"modulename" replacing "modulename" with the correct name.
I could be completely off the wall with this suggestion but that what
it sounds like to me.
Note, you'll have to run some of these commands as super user.
type su at the command prompt and enter your password when asked.
Let me know how you get on with this.

Might it be related to the most recent kernel update for 10.2? It caused a renumbering of the PCI devices on my system. At least, my nVidia card got a new PCI location and I needed to update xorg.conf to get X11 up again. --- Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Looks like you have the required kernel modules loaded, in any case. I'd say it's probably a KDE problem. 1. Try mounting a CD or DVD manually: from konsole or another terminal, do sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt and if that works, unmount it: sudo umount /mnt 2. If that works, remove KDE:KDE3 from your repo, switch to a different desktop, go to YaST/Software/Software Management, remove KDE Desktop and KDE Base, and then reinstall them. That should put you back to a tested version of KDE. Hope that helps, -- Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
