cdparanoia has been giving me problems since upgrading to FC1. Prior to this, I had been able to rip cd audio with a simple "cdparanoia -B" command; now when I try this I get: $ cdparanoia -B cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001) (C) 2001 Monty <monty@xxxxxxxx> and Xiphophorus Report bugs to paranoia@xxxxxxxx http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ /dev/cdrom exists but isn't accessible. By default, cdparanoia stops searching for an accessible drive here. Consider using -sv to force a more complete autosense of the machine. More information about /dev/cdrom: Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom... Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface /dev/scd1 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM. Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device /dev/scd1 "cdparanoia -sv" just gives me the cdparanoia usage summary; nothing about why the cd device is giving trouble. Nor will it work if I use "cdparanoia -B --force-cdrom-device /dev/scd1" $ cdparanoia -B --force-cdrom-device /dev/scd1 cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001) (C) 2001 Monty <monty@xxxxxxxx> and Xiphophorus Report bugs to paranoia@xxxxxxxx http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ Unable to open cdrom drive; -v will give more information. Once again, "cdparanoia -v" just returns a usage summary. Permissions seem fine: $ ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/scd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 24 15:19 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd1 br--r----- 1 john users 11, 1 Sep 15 2003 /dev/scd1 Curiously, I can play audio cds from this drive just fine; it's just cdparanoia that has a problem with it. I can also rip the audio using "cdda2wav -B --dev 2,0,0" And cdparanoia itself works fine if I rip from my SCSI CD-R device instead of the (faster) ATAPI device linked to /dev/cdrom.
