[00:11] hello [00:12] Hi [00:12] thanks for the help [00:12] tom here [00:12] What does 'mount' say? [00:12] Mar 10 19:09:11 BigLaptop NetworkManager: [1205194151.079139] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part_1_size_4220223488'). [00:12] well, i didn't get output when i did the mount | grep cdrom [00:13] Okay [00:13] What kind of CD are you inserting? [00:13] dvd [00:13] Audio, video, data? [00:13] vido [00:13] video [00:14] !dvd [00:14] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:14] i burned it myself, and it works if i juset mount the cdrom as sudo from the console [00:14] i used Totem [00:15] i think i did, anyway [00:15] gretsch: in the Removable... dialog, did you enable 'Play Video DVD' on the Multimedia tab? [00:15] y [00:16] totem %m [00:17] and the "Mount removable drives when hot-plugged" is checked [00:17] as are ALL the boxes in that section [00:18] gretsch: so in summary, you have a DVD that won't be mounted or played automatically, but plays when you mount it on the command line [00:18] and i have the disk mounter up in the menu bar [00:18] exactly [00:18] and i cannot mount as user [00:18] so is it a permissions thing? [00:19] because when i select the "mount CD..." option from the little "mount disk" icon [00:19] gretsch: if you call totem from the terminal, while the DVD is not mounted, and you click Movie - Play Disc -- does that work? [00:19] as user... [00:19] it tells me i must be sudo to mount [00:20] as user? [00:20] as user, it tells me the same [00:20] "cannot mount volume" [00:21] gretsch: are you in the cdrom group? Check with 'groups' [00:21] mount: must be superuser to mount volume [00:21] hmmm.... there *is* no cdrom group! [00:21] There must be [00:22] haldaemon? [00:22] Can you run 'sudo adduser $USER cdrom'? [00:22] otherwise, no 'cdrom' group [00:23] ok [00:23] tells me i am already a member of cdrom [00:23] but that group does not show up [00:23] Does not show up where? [00:24] in the groups list [00:24] System > Admin > Users and Groups [00:24] 'grep cdrom /etc/group' [00:25] cdrom:x:24:haldaemon,tom,root,megan [00:25] The dialog only lists groups where you're not already a member. So that's all fine. [00:26] Do you know your DVD drive device name? /dev/... [00:26] it's /dev/cdrom [00:26] that's how i mount it [00:26] as ... sudo mount /dev/cdrom [00:26] gretsch: what is it *really*? find out with 'ls -l /dev/cdrom'? [00:27] scd0 [00:27] all rwx [00:27] btw [00:27] What does 'ls -l /dev/scd0' say? [00:27] Symbolic links are always all-rwx [00:27] ah ha [00:27] that's the issue [00:28] brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2008-03-10 06:33 /dev/scd0 [00:28] need chmod 777? [00:28] no, that's what it should be [00:28] damn [00:28] lol [00:29] well, i can certainly just mount it as sudo and then use it [00:29] and then umount when finished [00:29] You could add a 'users' option for the fstab entry, then you can 'mount /dev/cdrom' as user [00:29] but i thought there must be an ok [00:29] ok [00:30] Sorry I didn't have a _real_ fix for you [00:30] what's that file path? [00:31] /etc/fstab [00:31] ok its open in gedit [00:31] as sudo [00:31] Mine says [00:31] /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [00:31] mine too [00:32] So you should be able to 'mount /media/cdrom0' or 'mount /dev/scd0' as user [00:32] btw, never open gedit with sudo -- use gksudo instead [00:32] !gksu [00:32] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:34] i cannot mount as user from the command line [00:34] What does it say? [00:34] tom@BigLaptop:~$ mount /dev/cdrom [00:34] mount: must be superuser to use mount [00:35] Read me carefully -- you must use mount /dev/scd0 [00:35] or the mount point, but not the symbolic link [00:35] same answer [00:36] No typo? [00:36] tom@BigLaptop:~$ mount /dev/scd0 [00:36] mount: must be superuser to use mount [00:36] How about mount /media/cdrom0 ? [00:37] same [00:38] It's as if mount was ignoring fstab [00:38] i am reading that link ubotwo, thanks! [00:38] You didn't create a fat32 or ext3 filesystem on the CD by any chance? [00:39] hmmm [00:39] The bot appreciates your gratitude [00:39] lol [00:39] the old bot [00:39] i *did* make these DVDs on a windows machine [00:39] maybe that's an issue? [00:39] Let's see [00:39] probably fat32 [00:40] Do a 'sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 && mount | grep cdrom' [00:40] got a prompt [00:41] 'mount | grep cdrom' again? [00:41] root@BigLaptop:~# sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 && mount | grep cdrom' [00:41] > [00:41] Ctrl-C -- you copied a ' mark by mistake [00:42] tom@BigLaptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 && mount | grep cdrom [00:42] mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [00:42] /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type udf (ro) [00:42] and of course it's mounted [00:43] Okay, that explains why it doesn't autoplay: DVDs are normally iso9660 and not udf [00:43] ok [00:43] let me grab another disk and try it [00:43] something commercially made [00:43] But it doesn't explain why it won't mount as user [00:44] Still, better than nothing [00:45] cannot mount a commercial CD either [00:45] tom@BigLaptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 && mount | grep cdrom [00:45] mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [00:45] /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro) [00:45] iso9660 but still not mountable [00:45] as you said [00:46] But that output says that it does mount [00:46] because i sudo mounted it [00:46] yes [00:47] i meant it won't mount as user from the menu icon [00:47] All right [00:47] in other words, i did it from the console [00:48] I'm out of ideas now [00:48] lol [00:48] well, i guess i have gotten enough practice mounting from the console line [00:48] thanks for the effort!
