 |
|
I guys.
I recently reinstalled my Gentoo, and I'm stuck with a problem I never met before : I cannot open a dvd or a cdrom... When I click on the device icon in dolphin (KDE 4.1), I get this message :
| Code: | | An error occurred while accessing [device name]. The system responded : mount: can't find /dev/hda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab |
I checked, and I have this line in /etc/fstab :
| Code: | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto users,noauto,ro 0 0
|
/dev/cdrom points to /dev/hda :
| Code: | lorien earendil # ls -l /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 0 Nov 22 2008 /dev/hda
lorien earendil # ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 22 2008 /dev/cdrom -> hda |
I'm in the good groups :
| Code: | audio:!:18:earendil
cdrom:!:19:earendil,haldaemon
video:!:27:root,earendil
cdrw:!:80:earendil,haldaemon
plugdev:!:1005:haldaemon,earendil |
Everything is ok with USB devices...
Did I forget something ? |

| In fstab you should put user instead of users. It's a mount option, not a group. |

| I use Gnome so probably this is not applicable to your KDE but Gnome won't automount anything that is in fstab. So you may try commenting out those lines in fstab and restarting KDE. |

Thanks... it's not totally fixed, but I guess we're near :
the message changed, saying that it was unable to find /media/Bronze ski (being the name of the device)... shouldn't he create the folder automatically ?
When I try to launch a DVD in VLC, I get this error :
| Quote: | Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/cdrom".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/cdrom'. Check the log for details. |
An idea ? |

Are you in the users group? (in the first post it seems like you're not - launch 'groups' and check)
BTW Yes it creates the folder automagically. |

Well... it seems that I'm in users group :
| Quote: | earendil@lorien ~ $ groups
adm disk wheel man console audio cdrom video cdrw usb users portage earendil plugdev |
[EDIT]Problem solved : the last problem was in fact an encoding problem : there was accents in the name of the device... I don't know how to make hald to recognize accented device
It works with a Commercial DVD  |

| Do you have a UTF8 compliant system? (unicode and nls use flags, utf8 kernel support, utf8 locale) |
