Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 4:34 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] (u)mounting cdrom under Gnome 2.6.2 |
|
|
Hi
I've installed Gentoo with Gnome on my Laptop and want to allow users to mount the CD-RW drive and floppy. This works fine with typing the (u)mount command into a terminal.
Doing so with the floppy drive lets an icon appear on the desktop, but when mounting the CD drive no icon appears.
So here's my first question: Can anybody tell me how to automagically get a CD icon when mounting the CD drive (or even better: when inserting a CD or floppy)?
And I have a second question: Starting up Gnome I hear "desktop sounds" when logged in as root, but as 'normal' user there are no sounds for the desktop (although I can listen to mp3s without any problems). How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
vol.1

hi,
you have to add users to your cd-rw drive in /etc/fstab _________________ The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

Hi,
thank you for your quick reply, but I already had an entry user in my fstab. For some reason the CD icon after mounting didn't appear before I decided to reboot the system (my fault). So it works now .
BTW: Do you have any suggestion for solving my "sound-problem"?
So long,

hi,
is your user in the audio group?
you only be able to hear sounds when you are in this group!
make sure that you are in the wheel group in order to su and in the games group if you want to play games! _________________ The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

adding the user to the audio group worked ! The user was already in the wheel group, but thank you for mentioning it.
Thanks again,
