[14:47] <bkerensa> Gareth: So my lodging budget was just approved so I will just now need to submit a travel request to our travel agency and should see you in February
[14:47] <bkerensa> :)
[14:47] <bkerensa> looking forward to some warmth
[18:16] <Gareth> bkerensa: awesome :)
[18:28] <linuxlite1969> hello issue with my cd rom not detected
[18:30] <blitz> hello issue with your cd rom not detected
[18:30] <linuxlite1969> what ?
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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?
[18:34] <linuxlite1969> https://www.linuxliteos.com/
[18:34] <darthrobot`> Title: [Linux Lite - Linux Lite free Operating System]
[18:34] <linuxlite1969> xfce
[18:36] <raevol> website appears to be broken :/
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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 :/
[18:40] <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.
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <linuxlite1969> in dev there were floppy disc
[18:43] <linuxlite1969> i tried to change it dev/cdrom etc
[18:46] <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.
[18:50] <linuxlite1969> i have to reinstall it??
[18:50] <akk> Only if you think there was an error during installation.
[18:51] <akk> Look through dmesg and see if you can find any messages about it seeing the CDROM hardware.
[18:52] <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.
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <akk> What's the dmesg line for it?
[18:54] <akk> or lines
[18:56] <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 :)
[18:57] <linuxlite1969> i use my cd drive to transcode for car or hdd
[18:57] <linuxlite1969> like foobar with wine
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <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)
[19:01] <linuxlite1969> i know it's here..i deleted all the bullshit error things to try to replace by dev/mnt/cdrom etcc
[19:04] <akk> Oops, note to self, that's the power button, not the CD eject button :)
[19:06] <pleia2> haha, nice
[19:19] <blitz> :3
