| bkerensa | looking forward to some warmth | 14:47 |
| Gareth | bkerensa: awesome :) | 18:16 |
| linuxlite1969 | hello issue with my cd rom not detected | 18:28 |
| blitz | hello issue with your cd rom not detected | 18:30 |
| linuxlite1969 | what ? | 18:30 |
| blitz | my name is blitz, nice to meet you issue with your cd rom not detected | 18:31 |
| blitz | whoops, totally thought this was off topic | 18:31 |
| raevol | hahaha | 18:31 |
| linuxlite1969 | yes i install linux lite (debian/ubuntu) through flash drive i think it caused issue | 18:32 |
| raevol | linuxlite1969: that sounds like a very specific issue, you will need to know what model cd drive you have, and then i would suggest googling to see if other people are having the same issue with that model drive and linux | 18:32 |
| raevol | someone here might be able to walk you through looking at hardware logs to see if there are any errors at initialization, sadly i do not know enough to be able to do that :( | 18:33 |
| akk | I hadn't heard of linux lite. | 18:33 |
| akk | What's the desktop/window manager? | 18:33 |
| linuxlite1969 | https://www.linuxliteos.com/ | 18:34 |
| darthrobot` | Title: [Linux Lite - Linux Lite free Operating System] | 18:34 |
| linuxlite1969 | xfce | 18:34 |
| raevol | website appears to be broken :/ | 18:36 |
| linuxlite1969 | what ?? | 18:37 |
| blitz | have you tried asking in the support channel? it's #ubuntu | 18:37 |
| raevol | shows a white line going across and then stops and doesn't show anything else | 18:37 |
| blitz | site works for me | 18:37 |
| linuxlite1969 | ther is no one in their channel | 18:37 |
| raevol | hmm site works in firefox | 18:37 |
| blitz | no one in #ubuntu? | 18:38 |
| raevol | linuxlite1969: #ubuntu, not the linux lite irc | 18:38 |
| linuxlite1969 | i tried ubuntu.fr no one answer | 18:38 |
| akk | I can see the website. But I haven't used xfce in a while -- might be a problem with its CDROM detection. | 18:39 |
| raevol | well that's why we suggested #ubuntu :/ | 18:39 |
| akk | I wouldn't think #ubuntu would have much help for an xfce-based non-ubuntu distro. | 18:40 |
| raevol | akk true | 18:40 |
| blitz | it's ubuntu based | 18:40 |
| blitz | says it's LTS | 18:40 |
| linuxlite1969 | ok i will give it a try | 18:40 |
| akk | Is there an #xfce channel? That would be a good place to ask. | 18:40 |
| blitz | xfce shouldn't make his cdrom not work | 18:41 |
| linuxlite1969 | what's the link between xfce and cdrom?? | 18:41 |
| akk | xfce might make the cdrom not show up in a filemanager or on the desktop. | 18:41 |
| akk | Do we know if the hardware is showing up in /dev ? | 18:41 |
| blitz | well, sure, but I took him literally | 18:41 |
| linuxlite1969 | browser is thunar | 18:41 |
| linuxlite1969 | in dev there were floppy disc | 18:42 |
| linuxlite1969 | i tried to change it dev/cdrom etc | 18:43 |
| akk | Ah, okay, if it's not showing up in /dev then it's not an xfce issue. | 18:46 |
| akk | It's kernel or udev, probably. | 18:46 |
| linuxlite1969 | i have to reinstall it?? | 18:50 |
| akk | Only if you think there was an error during installation. | 18:50 |
| akk | Look through dmesg and see if you can find any messages about it seeing the CDROM hardware. | 18:51 |
| akk | If there's nothing in dmesg then the problem is almost certainly the kernel. | 18:52 |
| linuxlite1969 | that's not i like this distro but it's the only one that installed the driver for my nvidia card,i tried everything..doesn't work | 18:52 |
| akk | If there are messages in dmesg but there's no device in /dev, then it could still be kernel but it's more likely udev. | 18:52 |
| linuxlite1969 | i already saw at dmesg | 18:53 |
| akk | And in that case you might be able to use it through some other path, like /dev/sdXX or /sys/class/..., if you can't figure out a udev rule. | 18:53 |
| linuxlite1969 | but i can't find where the cd "could" probably be | 18:53 |
| akk | What's the dmesg line for it? | 18:54 |
| akk | or lines | 18:54 |
| akk | Oh, looks like they don't put anything in /dev for CDs any more anyway, should be in /media | 18:56 |
| akk | (I haven't used my CD drive in maybe 2 years :) | 18:56 |
| linuxlite1969 | i use my cd drive to transcode for car or hdd | 18:57 |
| linuxlite1969 | like foobar with wine | 18:57 |
| akk | I think I have a CD drive in the docking station here, but I'm not sure this debian system is seeing it either. | 18:58 |
| akk | Maybe I'm not the right person to be helping here. :) | 18:58 |
| linuxlite1969 | everything ok instead for that cd rom | 18:58 |
| akk | We may need someone who's actually used a CD drive recently. | 18:58 |
| linuxlite1969 | ha ha lol | 18:58 |
| akk | My fstab says it should be at /dev/sr0 but that may be left over from a lucid install many years ago :) | 18:59 |
| akk | (and I have no /dev/sr0) | 18:59 |
| linuxlite1969 | i know it's here..i deleted all the bullshit error things to try to replace by dev/mnt/cdrom etcc | 19:01 |
| akk | Oops, note to self, that's the power button, not the CD eject button :) | 19:04 |
| pleia2 | haha, nice | 19:06 |
| blitz | :3 | 19:19 |
