Hi. i was on my computer one day and for some reason the computer stopped mounting dvd automatically. I have to mount the discs manually with the command: Code: sudo pmount -r dev/dvd and it works but some discs i can't mount with that command but the discs work fine because i have tested them on the other linux computer in my house, my friend's. Cd's work fine. And movie and all other dvd's work fine, except games. it's really weird and annoying i need help. i'm running suse 11.1 with kde4. when i try to mount normally (with dolphin) the error says: Code: An error ocurred while accessing 'Disk 1', the system responded:org.freedesktop. Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure:mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount:wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
Error message says it is a HAL issue. Check what groups you are in, that you are in the optical group or whatever suse uses? Beyond that, since suse is a commercial distro, you've paid for support, so make Novell work for their money.
suse and disks.. last time I gave up with it.. it wouldn't even play an ordinary audio cd. I'm not looking at this page again.. how bleedin wide does it have to be?
that doesn't really answer any of my questions. i know it's a HAL issue and i'm in all the right groups. i did not ask what the problem was but how to fix it. P.S. suse is not a commercial distro
suse IS commercial.. do you mean opensuse? why not try as the error suggests? from debian which works Thanks for fixing the page width.. that helps XD
hmmm.. well like I posted earlier.. last time I tried suse I couldn't resolve the broken optical disk functions.. What is the last output from dmesg? Maybe it will throw some light on the problem... or have a look where the device is mounted and how in fstab I have 2 optical drives on this system (debian etch.. not updated in over 12 months) /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
There is a difference between suse and opensuse. They didn't bolt "open" on the front for nothing. You're probably still best off going to the source for help. http://forums.opensuse.org/search.php And because I feel dirty for even thinking about suse, http://boycottnovell.com/
Now please wash your hands *giggles* I'm interested in this.. not necessarily because I want to see a fix, but because I am trying to expose some possible shady behaviour between Novell and M$ to disable media functionality.
