cd-rom won't work in kscd
Slacker newbie here (converting from RedHat)
Just installed Slack 9.1. Mostly a good experience. Got a problem though. My cd-rom won't work. That is, it worked fine installing from the cd, but now that I'm up, kscd will not play cd's. I get this error: kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction: : plugAccel( ): call to deprecated action. I looked in dmesg and saw this: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 Here's another clue: root@blueridge:~# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. I can mount a data cd and see the contents in /mnt/cdrom. I'm confused.... I am trying to figure out this problem, but in the meantime, if anyone wants to offer advice, I will not turn it down. |
I don't think those two are related :)
cdrecord wants you to use the ide-scsi emulation. What does your /etc/lilo.conf look like? As for kscd ... it might be a permission problem with eithe access to the cdrom device for users, or to the mixer. Cheers, Tink |
Ok, I found a fix (thanks to a gentle shove in the right direction from Tinkster). Thought I would share.
All it took was a chmod 755 /dev/hdc . /dev/hdc originally was -rw-rw---- Now can play my Barry Manilow Greatest Hits while I surf. :eek: just kidding. |
