Please help me understand what's happening! I'm going to break this message into two parts: first - what is happening; second - errors and info from logs. I'm running KDE on 8.1 **************** I have 2 physical hardware devices: a CD-RW and a DVD player On my desktop I have 3 icons. The first two (#1 & #2) appeared after initial configuration, and I renamed icon, device file, and mount point, then edited fstab to match. The third (#3), I created from right-click on desktop > Create New... > CD/DVD-ROM device, then named and chose the device file, to see if I could recreate one of the other icons on my own. These icons are: ICON DEVICE FILE MOUNT #1) CD-Player /dev/cdplayer > sr0 /media/cdplayer #2) CDROM /dev/cdrom > sr1 /media/cdrom #3) /dev/cdplayer /dev/cdplayer > sr0 /media/cdplayer #1 - PLAYS an "audioCD" from CD-RW using the application kscd (an audioCD player) WILL NOT read/play an "audioCD" from DVD (starts kscd) READS a "dvd" from DVD using konquerer (a web browser/file manager) READS a "dvd" from CD-RW using kscd (obviously will not play, yet shows directories as tracks) READS a "dataCD" from DVD using konquerer (attempts to mount for 2 minutes) READS a "dataCD" from CD-RW using kscd (obviously will not play, yet shows directories as tracks) WILL NOT read a "blank CD" from CD-RW (attempts to mount, starts kscd, then crashes kscd) WILL NOT read a "blank CD" from DVD (attempts to mount for 2 minutes, then starts kscd) #2 - READS???

Yup, I guess I went on a bit - Ya Think?? Still having problems after checking my links, though. Trying to recreate an exsisting desktop icon isn't working for me. All my device files are linked properly and have valid mount points. fstab has been edited to match. Yet... I am still receiving the same error messages in /var/log/warn. It also seems that I have certain applications linked to the icons and recognizing filetypes. I have two icons that SuSE automatically plopped onto my desktop after configuring my cd & dvd hardware. It DOESN'T matter what I name them, what device files I point them to, where they are symlinked, or even creating bogus device files and pointing them there. These two icons still function the same. Both icons can be pointed to the same or different device files, which also can be symlinked to the same or different files. If I put in an audioCD, or a dataCD, etc., and press an icon, I will always get the same error or start an application for the same type of disk. When I create an icon using Create New - CD/DVD-ROM device, I can point it to the same device files, etc. as the other two icons and not be able to recreate the same results. I would assume that there is some sort of config/prefs/properties file somewhere that is tied to each icon that would allow me to input a filesystem type and application(s) associated with that type.

If this is this error message in /var/log/warn forget about it.

So far: Have found that KsCD, Gnome CD Player, & ALSA Player ALWAYS point to /dev/cdrom, even after changing the device file in their config. Only Grip config is able to be changed to play audioCD from CD-RW or DVD hardware. Yet, I do not get sound from my DVD hardware. Problem NOT fixed!! Takes 2 minutes to mount and read a dataCD on DVD hardware. WHY? Problem NOT fixed!! Can only read DVD files on DVD hardware with SuSE pre-made icon. Problem NOT fixed!! May fix itself after configuring dvd player application. Have not configured any cd burner yet, so no problem yet. Should I contact KDE support? PLEASE HELP!!!!! Bernd

What are you trying to mount? If you are mounting through an icon what is it pointing to? What does fstab say about those devices? What does ls -l /dev/cdr* and ls -l /dev/dvd give as output. Please don't YELL, I'm trying to help, and find it hard to continue to try an help you while your YELLING. I'm not sure why it's not wotking for you, I have the same setup and can do all those things. All I needed to do was to change the links to sr0 and sr1.

Have you checked the mixer to see if the line in is muted? Is there a cable attached to the drive? What device did you tell these applications to look at?

Do you mean a dvd movie? a suse dvd? Which application? What does the other icon point to?

Did you change the links? if so what command did you use? Did you change the device that the icons where pointing to? If so what do they point to? -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1

Sorry about the yelling. I'm just impatient and frustrated. I'll try to cool down. Unfortunately, they are tied to these two icons. An example: /dev/dvd > sr0 is my DVD hardware device, /dev/cdrom > sr1 is my CD-RW hardware device. Icon #1 points to /dev/cdrom > sr1. The device files are properly symlinked and fstab is correct. -- If I put in an audioCD in my CD-RW, KsCD (a cd player) is started and plays my audioCD. If I change Icon #1 to point to /dev/dvd > sr0, and put an audioCD in my DVD hardware device,KsCD is started but it doesn't see my audioCD. If I put it in my CD-RW hardware device (even though Icon #1 points to /dev/dvd > sr0) and press Icon #1, KsCD is started and plays my audioCD. The same thing happens with the other icon, just with another application. It doesn't matter what I name these icons,what device files I point them to, where they are symlinked, or even creating bogus device files and pointing them there.

How many cd/dvd related icons do you have? Do you have dvd, cdrom, and cdrecorder? Make them point to the appropriate device and leave them be. Also leave your links alone. I think the confusion is that kscd defaults to /dev/cdrom which is your burner. It doesn't matter if you have the icon point to /dev/dvd or /dev/zip the program wants to look at /dev/cdrom(unless changed). If you open kscd and go to Config(the tools) and change it to /dev/dvd it should then play the cd in your dvd. Try to put one audio cd in each drive, open kscd. Play the one in the cdrw(stop it and) then Switch between the two audio cds(or devices) in the config window. /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom. As long as the audio cable is connected to both devices and the line in mixer / volume control is set properly you should be able to play audio cd's in both drives. When you want to play a cd I'd open the app using the menu rather than the icon, I see how this could have gotten confusing. I'm assuming SuSE detects an audio cd, kscd must be the default audio player it opens checks it's config info and then looks for the cd in /dev/cdrom... just guessing though. Can you mount a data cd from the command line? Try ... mount /dev/dvd mount /dev/cdrom ls -l /media/cdrom or cdrecorder depending on your fstab ls -l /media/dvd You also should be able to right click on the cd icon > choose mount, and then try the ls -l /media/cdrecorder or cdrom. Also try this by right clicking the dvd icon.

-- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1
Hi Bernd, You had been listing some error messages when trying to mount a CD. if this is an AUDIO cd it is normal that you get errors, Audio CDs are NOT mounted, but played only. (The audio CD browser in Konqueror does however show the content of Audio CDs as if they would be mounted, even as (virtual) MP3 files or OGG files. You can then copy them to another dirve easily.) Your icons are irrelevant. No program cares about them. All they see is what is in your fstab, and what is linked to these devices in /dev. If you use SCSI emulation, (you probably do) make sure the links are set correctly. dvd / cdrecorder / cdrom must link to the device of your choice, sr0 or sr1. set the link accordingly. ONLY this link counts. And not your icon. Example: If your dvd is sr0 (and the cdwriter is sr1), you should set the link (in /dev) from dvd to sr0. If you want this drive to be know as cdrom, you do the same again for the link cdrom: as root: ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder If you want your cdwriter to be cdrom, you use instead ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrom You have to get your fstab correct, you say it is, but you do not list it. In fstab you do usually only link the devices cdrom, dvd, and cdrecorder to their mountpoints: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 You see that this is independent from sr0, sr1, or even hdc, hdd if you do not use scsi-emulation ( I have dvd as ide-cd device, and cdwirter as ide-scsi device, works fine.) Your icon should then only point to /dev/cdrom, or /dev/dvd/, or /devcdrecorder. But again, this affects ONLY what gets mounted when you click the icon. NO software looks for the icon, they go directly to the devices /dev/cdrom etc., and some even to /dev/srx or /dev/hdx. So, - set your links in /dev correctly. - don't mess with fstab - get your cables from dvd and cdwriter to the sound card installed. and it should work. if KsCD looks at /dev/cdrom only (I don't know, never looked at) and you want it to play the other device, set the link /dev/cdrom accordingly (and not your icons). If this is too much mess, just run the k3b setup. Sooner or late you might want to record CDs anyway. The k3b setup set all the rights and links and the fstab for you, I found it to be doing it correct all the time for me. However check afterwards, it might add already existing devices to fstab again. HTH, Matt T. On Wednesday 19 March 2003 09:26, Franklin Maurer wrote:

Unfortunately, they are tied to these two icons.
An example: /dev/dvd > sr0 is my DVD hardware device, /dev/cdrom > sr1 is my CD-RW hardware device. Icon #1 points to /dev/cdrom > sr1. The device files are properly symlinked and fstab is correct. -- If I put in an audioCD in my CD-RW, KsCD (a cd player) is started and plays my audioCD. If I change Icon #1 to point to /dev/dvd > sr0, and put an audioCD in my DVD hardware device,KsCD is started but it doesn't see my audioCD. If I put it in my CD-RW hardware device (even though Icon #1 points to /dev/dvd > sr0) and press Icon #1, KsCD is started and plays my audioCD. The same thing happens with the other icon, just with another application.
How many cd/dvd related icons do you have? Do you have dvd, cdrom, and cdrecorder? Make them point to the appropriate device and leave them be. Also leave your links alone.
I think the confusion is that kscd defaults to /dev/cdrom which is your burner. It doesn't matter if you have the icon point to /dev/dvd or /dev/zip the program wants to look at /dev/cdrom(unless changed). If you open kscd and go to Config(the tools) and change it to /dev/dvd it should then play the cd in your dvd. Try to put one audio cd in each drive, open kscd. Play the one in the cdrw(stop it and) then Switch between the two audio cds(or devices) in the config window. /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom. As long as the audio cable is connected to both devices and the line in mixer / volume control is set properly you should be able to play audio cd's in both drives. When you want to play a cd I'd open the app using the menu rather than the icon, I see how this could have gotten confusing. I'm assuming SuSE detects an audio cd, kscd must be the default audio player it opens checks it's config info and then looks for the cd in /dev/cdrom... just guessing though.
Can you mount a data cd from the command line? Try ... mount /dev/dvd mount /dev/cdrom ls -l /media/cdrom or cdrecorder depending on your fstab ls -l /media/dvd You also should be able to right click on the cd icon > choose mount, and then try the ls -l /media/cdrecorder or cdrom. Also try this by right clicking the dvd icon.

Thanks goes to Franklin (for your incredible patience with me), Kelly, & Matt!!! My DVD and CD-RW hardware devices are working okay. -I dumped all the stuff I changed or added in /dev, /media -reset fstab to "stock" settings, except changed cdrecorder to rw Will deal with later: -audioCD will not produce sound in DVD hardware device (assume same for dvd movie), even after trying all settings in gamix, kMix, and alsamixer. -dataCD takes 2 minutes to mount in DVD hardware device (Kelly said to try removing scsi emulation) -cannot change configuration in Gnome CD Player, and KsCD to point to anything but /dev/cdrom -Have not yet configured MPlayer for dvd movie viewing, or K3b for cd writing.

(The audio CD browser in Konqueror does however show the content of Audio CDs as if they would be mounted, even as (virtual) MP3 files or OGG files. You can then copy them to another dirve easily.)
Matt, how do I do this in Konquerer? It makes no sense to input the address of /media/? as the audioCD is not mounted. It is already configured to preview audioCD's. Thanks all! Bernd

OK, to solve any problem you must start at the beginning. Did you test anything before you started changing things? Are you sure that they worked with the stock install? I t appears that your hardware has been detected properly. Your DVD drive is on hdc, which is becoming a scsi drive due to the emulation layer and is at /dev/sr0. Your CD-RW is on hdd, which is also becoming a scsi drive due to the emulation layer and is at /dev/sr1. Your entries in fstab should look something like this: /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0,0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0,0 Your links in the /dev directory should look something like this: /dev/cdrom -> sr0 /dev/cdrecorder -> sr1 /dev/dvd -> sr0 The messages that you are seeing in /var/log/warn are perfectly acceptable. They are due to the scsi emulation layer. They should not be affecting anything. With a setup as you seem to have, your CD audio cable should be running between the DVD drive and the sound card. You should play audio CDs and DVDs in the DVD drive. If none of this is working, I would attempt to recreate the original links, create a new user (unchanged) and then test from there. I always test on an unchanged system before I start modifying and I have been using Linux for about 10 years now. You can't complain if you change stuff and then it doesn't work properly. As to the taking a long time to mount a data CD in the DVD drive, my DVD drive didn't really like the scsi emulation layer and DMA mode together, so I had to get it off scsi emulation in order to be able to use it for everything that I wanted to. However, I was sure that it was basically working before I made those changes. I would recommend that you get some basic functionality (even slow) before making changes. -- Kelly L.
