How do I get the CDROM working?

HTML · 2004-07-29T21:41:34

I just installed debian sarge with the default kernel 2.6.7, and I am not sure how to get the cdrom working. Here is the fstab /dev/hdb /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 I don't know why it made all these other cdroms because I only have 2, a dvd rom and a cdrw. EDIT:: I don't have discover it seems, so do I install discover1 or discover?? Thanks [Edited by - HTML on July 24, 2004 4:21:23 PM]

Can KsCD play music cds/dvds without supermount?

supermount has nothing to do with music CDs at all.

I'd say, if you're sure hda and hdb are cdrom drives, go ahead and chgrp them both to the cdrom group.

Right now you don't have access to them, as a user.

Thanks, works under root now. Although what I find strange is that KsCD says /dev/cdrom for its source but I don't have a /dev/cdrom in my fstab. I am confused now.

Also, it won't play the sound unless I put headphones into the dvd player (havn't gotten the cdrw to play yet since I don't know the right path.)

I will check the sound connection to the motherboard and the cd players.

Although this is a start.
Thanks.

IOt should work as a normal user if you change the group.

Audio has nothing to do with mounting anything, thus fstab is irrelevant.

check audio mixer settings first, the cdrom input might be muted.

How do I do this? BTW, the sound comes out of the speakers on windows. (Using KDE)

That makes sense.

chgrp myusername ??

Not sure how that command works..

Thanks for the help, finally got the sound working after a long time..
