Can not play audio cds as user (just as root)

hraposo · 08-06-2004, 01:38 PM

I,ve got a problem with cdrom audio player or gxine (in gnome), because the player said "drive error", but if I'm root there is no problem, I can play audio cds with any player (gxine too). So I just can not play audio cds as user. My fstab it's configurate like this:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,owner,ro 0 0

I use Slackware 9.1

Can you help me?

check the permissions on /dev/cdrom (the device it points to)

Not good, look at user and owner option, they are different :

user : any user can mount the cdrom
owner : only owner of the device file can mount cdrom

Try remove owner option, in a first step

I'm so stupid, the problem was the permissions. Now it all ok. I just can play audio cds as user.
Thanks.
