| 402296 | 2005-11-06 09:03:00 | mount: block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is write-protected, mounting read-only This is the message I get when using a cd rom. I can, of course, view say photos on the cd. Audio cd won't work. Here is the cdroms permissions tux cdroms # ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 6 20:50 cdrom0 -> ../hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 6 20:50 cdrom1 -> ../hdd Can someone give me a bit of help on this one please; how and what to, I'd be most obliged. |

| 402298 | 2005-11-06 09:29:00 | You have two CD or DVD drives in your machine - hdc and hdd? How are you accessing the drives, exploring with your window manager or via desktop icons for the drives? For the audio CD's, are you making sure the playback app is looking at the correct drive for the CD? |

| 402299 | 2005-11-06 09:38:00 | Which distribution are you using? Fedora Core 3 has a fault where you need to change the permissions to get an audio file to run: At the root terminal type: chmod 664 /dev/hdc |

| 402300 | 2005-11-17 03:39:00 | At last, I can play audio cd's on Gentoo. I found an old post of Chill's, (Google in desperation) and the last post is; "Chilling_Silently 11-01-2004, 11:39 PM Thanks for that, All I needed was: chmod 4744 /bin/mount and on /bin/umount (I did it on /usr/bin/eject just in case too). Worked a charm! Thanks so much! Now to make a new post with my last question.. CD Playback... ;-)" Did this & it didn't work, so out of curiosity I did; chmod 4744 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and that works fine with KsCD, which is all I need anyway. How do I make that command work when on reboot? As for me, it's just a nuisance to have to type it each time. and, are there any implications, with what I've done, that someone can think of? |

| 402302 | 2005-11-17 11:06:00 | You can add the line to /etc/conf.d/local.start It'll run it upon boot :) |

| 402303 | 2005-11-18 04:47:00 | Thanks Chill, :) That worked; I referred back to the handbook, but couldn't find it for looking. There's a lot of little (& some not so liitle) tricks, tweaks etc. like this & so I don't forget, coz I do, I'm putting them into a folder in home called handy tips -easy to remember where they are :thumbs: . |
