Still printer Epson C70 on another PC - damned Yast2 - SuSE-8.2
Hello, I connected my Epson c70 on another PC - first YAST2 configuration OK I manage to print with OpenOffice - I tried in YAST2 to change somme configuration then suddenly YAST2 asks to insert CD1 (SuSE-8.2). But Yast2 doesn't detect CD in /dev/hdc (/dev/sr0 in fact). Impossible to read SuSE-8.2 CD1. I have on /dev/hdc a CD/DVD-RW and a CD-Writer on /dev/hdd all well detected except that I can't mount a CD on /dev/hdc with mount /cdrom though I have /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom .... in /etc/fstab Problem CD/DVD-RW is recognised as /dev/sr0 (it is a burner). In /etc/fstab /dev/dvd is not configured but if I do 'mount /media/dvd' with a DVD or a CD no problem I can read both. Difficult to understand. Sorry if it is not clear. Question is though simple. How to tell Yast2 that SuSE-8.2 CD1 is in /dev/sr0 (how to configure installation support?)? Thanks -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631
I repeat because my problem was not easy to explain:
I have problem to reconfigure my Epson printer C70 on one of my PC.
YAST2 asks for SuSE-8.2 CD1.
But YAST2 does not find CD1.
I have 2 drives: CD/DVD-RW on /dev/sr0 (ex /dev/hdc) and CD-Writer on /dev/sr1
(ex /dev/hdd).
On console I can mount a CD-Rom in the CD/DVD-RW (/dev/sr0) with 'mount
/media/dvd' or in the CD-Writer (/dev/sr1) with 'mount /media/recorder'.
But YAST2 does not find CD1 in /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1.
Questionn thus: how to tell YAST2 where the SuSE-8.2 CD1 is? I can't either install new packages with the SuSE-!.2 install CD's.
Hoping it is clear.
Thanks

I had a simular problem when I was using 8.2. My solution was as follows... as root cd /dev ln -s sr0 (or sr1) cdrom Your pick as to which one to use and then try YaST again. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2) * PLEASE only reply to the list *

Still no luck. I still can't access a CD-ROM in CD/DVD-RW (device /dev/sr0). Question still remains: how to configure Yast2 so it knows to which device corresponds CD-ROM reader on hdc configured as device /dev/sr0 It seems very difficult when you have a mixed device (CD reader + DVD reader/burner). -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

This should do it.

Not really. What does ls -l /dev/cdr* /dev/dvd give you. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
