Puzzling with the mount in the dvd by right clicking the dvd icon on the desktop did able me to again to could mount a data_cd in the dvd drive.

If I understand it right, data CD mounting works both for the cdrecorder and dvd now. /bin/mount is a suid root program so any user can mount and access the device /dev/dvd even when root is its owner. The problem with audio CDs is that kscd is not suid root and therefore the device /dev/dvd must be owned by the user who invokes kscd (or the group permissions and ownership must be changed). On my system, the ownership of /dev/cdrom changes when I log in: $ ls -lL /dev/cdrom brw------- 1 malusek malusek 11, 0 Sep 24 2001 /dev/cdrom But I don't know how to force this change for /dev/dvd too. I know a workaround but it may be better to wait if someone knows a "recommended" solution. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
