Hi list, My CD/DVD drive has recently become only partially visible to applications. I use a Windows program, EAC (Exact Audio Copy) running under wine, to rip audio CDs, but it has recently stopped seeing my CD drive. I installed grip, to see if it was a wine problem, but this also can't read audio CDs in the drive. Well, it does very briefly as the drive gets mounted, in other words I see the list of tracks flash on and then off again. Grip can eject CDs, so the drive isn't completely invisible. On the other hand, smplayer plays an audio CD in the drive without a problem. I'm using openSUSE 11.2 with kernel 2.6.31.14-0.4-desktop, and KDE 4.5.2 release 10. I'm not sure when this problem started, as ripping CDs is only an occasional task, but it was definitely working OK on 5 October. Have the DRM people hacked my machine? Any suggestions, please?
