Yast knows when the distro DVD is loaded, but that's it. I have fought with this problem since I installed 10.2 on 7Jan07 and it is to the point that if I cannot resolve the issue, I am kissing Suse goodbye, as the system is almost worthless to me if I cannot use the cd/dvd drive.
who owns the drive?
Are you speaking of /dev/hdc (my dvd player)? If so, the same user that owns all /dev : root, of course
who are you signed in as when trying to access the drive?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't work in root or any user.
at some point drive permissions must have been changed, maybe have been changed to root only read? the default is set to let everyone read and see the drive.
this would explain why only yast sees it, you have to sign in as root to use yast.
The problem is bigger than that.
why dont you change the drive back to let everyone read it?
sign in as root, open konqueror, find the drive, right click, choose properties, its obvious how to change from there. good luck.
only idea I have.
I think it has to do with ivman but I can't find much info on it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
