Re: [opensuse] DVD Mount problem
This is the same problem I asked about a few days ago with the same kind of answers. I would like to hear from anyone who is running 10.2/KDE who also is able to put in a movie dvd and play it without having to resort to elaborate mounting gyrations. Ditto for putting in a blank dvd (or cd) and writing to it. Basically, an automounter that works. By the way, what happens now that a bug report has been filed? When will we know that the problem has been fixed? Or will it be, or do we have to wait until some future release? This "little" problem is a killer.

I installed "libdvdcss" and just about any updates for Kaffeine you can find from packman. This is going to sound really stupid, but it worked. I used the software installer [ your favorite version ] to search for "dvd" and installed anything that looked good. Commonly called the "shotgun" approach.

You can use the yast partitioner to add mount points for some media or partitions that the automatic install did not regognise. I did so with yast for my new 10.2 install I could not access my old SiSE 9.3 partition and had to add a mount point which I named /data1 with the proper options and now I can mount and access it in the controversed My Computer window.

-- Paul Ollion Proud Linux user SuSE 10.2 Paul thanks for the response. I actually found a way to get my archive off the DVD. 1. booted in Failsafe mode. 2. created directory dvdrecorder in /media (su to root) 3 mounted the DVD. /dev/hdc /media/dvdrecorder Mounts as read only 4 it also created two additional files in /media .hal-mtab, .hal-mtab-lock 5 after it mounted I went to /media/dvdrecorder and did an ls, both archive files showed up. 6. Copied the archive I needed to my home directory, rebooted to runlevel 5 and started KDAR. This unpacked the archive and allowed me to restore

I believe the media manager kde service is responsible for this. Check that it is enabled by going to Control Centre -> KDE Components -> Service Manager and make sure that KDED Media Manager and Media Notifier Daemon are both checked. As far as I understand it, these 'services' are actually provided by a super-daemon called kded so it might be worth checking that it is running with: ps aux | grep kded Having said all this, your services should be ok if your cd drive gets auto-mounted correctly. As far as icons are concerned, you can add the Media Control applet to your panel or have them appear Apple-style on your desktop using the Control Centre -> Desktop -> Behaviour, Device Icons tab as previously discussed. The only other thing I can think of is that someone may have chosen the 'Do Nothing' action and enabled it as the default. To undo this, go to Control Centre -> Peripherals -> Storage Media. Select the relevant media types in turn (Mounted DVD, Blank DVD, etc.) and check that there are no auto-actions associated with them. Sorry if this sounds a bit patronising but these things happen sometimes, it took me ages to find out how to undo default auto-actions. One last thing I would mention is that I found this auto-mount mechanism to be a bit intermittent under 10.1, media would quite often fail to mount when the system was under heavy load, however, I've found it to be much improved with 10.2.

With a Video DVD I get: storage_serial_200638 property storage.removable.media_available = true storage_serial_200638 property storage.removable.media_size = 7609661440 (0x1c5923800) volume_label_AMELIE added and with a DVDROM I get: storage_serial_200638 property storage.removable.media_available = true storage_serial_200638 property storage.removable.media_size = 2198620602368 (0x1ffe8000000) volume_label_Quality_Test added volume_label_Quality_Test property volume.mount_point = '/media/Quality Test' volume_label_Quality_Test property volume.is_mounted_read_only = true volume_label_Quality_Test property volume.is_mounted = true So it looks like, contrary to my initial assumption, hal is responsible for creating mount points and not kde's media manager. I don't know a great deal about hal but as far as I understand it hal monitors for hardware changes and applications communicate with it through dbus so it might be worth checking that dbus is running too. More info here: http://hal.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal http://hal.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus I also found out that there is a kde helper application called kio_media_mounthelper which gets involved at some stage. My knowledge on this subject is running a bit thin now but it looks like a hal thing. Unless you've got plenty of time to read the hal spec and mess about with fdi files then you may have to just be patient until the bug report has been processed. media_available = false sounds a bit fishy, are there any error messages in /var/log/messages?

Just installed two hal updates and the dvd not mounts, the icon appears on the desktop, KDAR and K3B detect and see the dvd. I have only tried data dvds.
Appears to have been fixed.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help!!! -- Russ This should have said the DVD now Mounts automatically when I insert a dvd into the drive. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
