[opensuse] No access to DVD-Drives
Dear all, I have no idea when this happened. Suddenly I am not allowed anymore to access my DVDs. On putting in a new CD/DVD the automounter opens a konqueror window which then only says that I do not have authorisation for system:/media/hdc Any ideas? My System is 10.1.

Well /media/hdc should be your mount point (though the designation is a bit odd) have you checked the permission and existence of this location. Two things ... Check /etc/fstab ... send it to list so people have relevant info. At the cli type... wodim dev=<device> -atip where device is the device name (in your case probably /dev/hdc) with a DVD in... I believe the -atip switch is not really intended for the purpose of drive checking but some rather useful info can be gleaned from the output. (As part of my current project I have been working on a perl module to drive wodim/growisofs and I have found -atip switch generates rather more useful info than the -inq and -prcap switches on a drives current status). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

Here you go: /dev/hdc /media/dvd iso9660 noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/dvdrecorder iso9660 noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

It all looks rather fishy. I checked the devices in yast, where I did not notice anyting strange. Also, k3b has no problem accessing the dvdburner in order to burn... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Here you go:
/dev/hdc /media/dvd iso9660 noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/dvdrecorder iso9660 noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
It looks as if the automount is being fired up by the KDE Media Manager. The reference to /media/hdc suggests that something is not quite right with the configuration of KDE media player, unfortunately it rather seems that you can only enable or disable this module and there does not seem to anything to configure it... Can you mount the dvd with... mount /dev/hdc ? (you need to be root for this)
At the cli type...
wodim dev=<device> -atip
# wodim dev=/dev/hdc -atip bash: wodim: command not found
Hmmm... looks as if 10.1 still uses the original cdrecord not sure that you will get the same output from this but try this using cdrecord rather than wodim... the cdrecord base package has limited support for DVDs....

This does not tell you whether the hardware is actually OK. CD/DVD/Tape units have a nasty habit of apparently being operational but actually malfunctioning....
Also, k3b has no problem accessing the dvdburner in order to burn...
k3b is optimised for the cdrecord/growisofs combination, wodim does a few thing that K3b does not handle well last time I looked at it. K3b is handy for building or obtaining an iso image but I rarely use it to actually burn anything nowadays.. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

As I don't have 10.1 installed now, I can't verify it, but I think that the fstab line is wrong: it mixes two types of automounting. If he relies on KDE/Gnome automounting, then those two lines have to be disabled, for instance, commenting them out. Otherwise, rewrite it. For instance: /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 or what I use: /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 so as no to interfere with the /media directory. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

That was it. Thanks! I commented them out. I seldom do mount those manually. Thanks again, this whole thing was really annoying. Kostas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
