On one of my boxes using 9.0 Prof the CDROM won't mount.
When I try to mount it I get the following message:
"Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified"
fstab looks like this:
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
I also find fstab.pre-captive, which is the one the system actuallu uses. The entry for the drive is identical here.
What exactly are you trying to mount? If it's a music CD or a blank CD, there won't be a filesystem. In order to successfully mount a CD, it must be a data CD. -- J.W.
But I'm not home and dry yet. It will mount data CD's, but not music or DVD (and so xine doesn't work either). When trying to mount it reports that it cannot determine file type. xine reports no plugin for dvd/: available.
Music CDs don't actually get mounted to view the contents of a Music CD open up your Konqueror file browser and type "audiocd:/" in the address bar.
As far as DVD playback goes you will want to install xine on your own since the version contained on the SuSE CD/DVD is limited due to legal resons surrounding DVD decryption on Linux. Go to PackMan to get a good version of xine and all it's libraries.
I have tried reinstalling xine (it gor corrupted during some module compilation previously). It reports that there is no plugin for dvd:/ Further down it says "snd_pcm_open() device busy".
When trying audiocd:/ in a browser it responds that it is not a registered protocol.
