I'm afraid this may be a very ignorant question,
but how do I access the DVD drive on my desktop?
It is shown by lshal:
--------------------------
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
block.storage_device
= '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B' (string)
info.product = 'DVD-ROM DRD-841B' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
(string)
When I do lshal in my F8 box I get this (way down in the output):
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_SD_R1312'
access_control.file = '/dev/sr0' (string)
block.device = '/dev/sr0' (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/sg0' (string)
I'm just curious: do you get any of that?
Yes, I do get that:
--------------------------
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B'
access_control.file = '/dev/sr0' (string)
access_control.grant_local_session = true (bool)
block.device = '/dev/sr0' (string)
--------------------------
I did actually know /dev/cdrom was a link to /dev/sr0,
but I get the same result when trying to mount the latter:
--------------------------
[root@alfred tim]# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found
--------------------------
I guess there may be something wrong with the drive.
It's rather ancient.
I'll try it in another machine.
I'm coming in late on this, but is there a CD (media) in the drive when
you try the mount command?
