 |
|
Hi all. When my system boots, it sets /dev/hdc like this:
| Code: | | brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Dec 1 18:56 /dev/hdc |
but of course it should be like this:
| Code: |
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Dec 1 18:56 /dev/hdc
|
This problem means that kde does not recognize a dvd as
a dvd video and does not give the correct pop up options, plus
it means that I can't play a dvd since the drive is not listed as
in the cdrom group.
If I manually chown hdc to root:cdrom then everything works.
I suspect udev is screwed up but don't know enough to verify what
rule is broken or whatever else might be wrong ...
any advice welcome

What does the following code returns?
| Code: | | $ grep cdrom /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules |
Moreover, are you using pam?
If that's the case, you may want to check the configuations in /etc/security. In my computer, every file in /etc/security except console.perms are commented out.

thanks a million, SnEptUne. I had neglected to follow
the pam upgrade guide. Everything is shiny now.
