Mojunting CDs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Look people, it is time we speak rationally about the mounting CDs and
Playing CDs problem. These problems have appeared on the list for at
least 3 months and we have gotten only a few truths out of the question.

Somewhere among the developer(s) there is someone who knows how the
system decides what too do with a CD and how that doing is controlled.
But that person(s) doesn't evidently read the list and has never cleared
this up even after several bugzillas. So if anyone know how to get the
correct developer to reply pleas share that with us or with the
developer(s).

But somethings we know and some wrong information is floating
around.This is not a Hal problem. It is a udev problem.

If anyone on a 586 system who is having a problem with audio (and
probably video ) CDs being played butt not producing an icon on the
desktop, that problem has been solved. I have posted the solution at
least twice on the list but I would be glad to post it again:
Note: this has only been tested in GNOME and does not work on 686
systems

in bugzilla # 513495
Aram Agajanian poses a solution for the Audio CD problem and it works.

First you get udev-141-4.fc11.src.rpm from the link below.

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/udev/141/4.fc11/src/udev-141-4.fc11.src.rpm

Get the spec file with rpm -i udev-141-4.fc11.src.rpm

Remove patch4 from the spec file by commenting it out.
Do a rpmbuild -bp then a rpmbuild -bb
Install the files created (not the devel files) udev, udev-static
libudev0 and libvolume_id

Reboot and the Audio CD icon is back.

Further problems will have to  be addressed by a develper who is
responsible for the udev code.
