> After installing Fedora, the first thing i notice is that i can't play > any VCD, DVD or even normal audio CDs; I "tested" my soundcard and it I assume you are able to mount a data CD but not able to play your audio CDs ? If so, I had the same problem. FC3 has a bug in the installation which makes the permissions of your CD drive as 640. Change the permissions to 644 and your audio cds will start playing. E.g. on my machine the CDROM drive is /dev/hdc ( use the hardware browser to find out if you dont know) $chmod 664 /dev/hdc Working on the video part though. I have the same problem. Can't watch Star Wars DVDs.. sigh ! :( vibhu.. --
