gnome cd player

I cant get gnome cd player, when I start it up it says Driver Error....I changed my fstab permissions for normal user to access cdrom so why is it saying that?

add yourself to the cdrom and the disk group using kuser or something else.
that should fix it.

As root, open up /etc/group in your favorite text editor. Add the users to the right groups. This might give you an idea what things should look like.

Code:

root::0:root
bin::1:root,bin,daemon
daemon::2:root,bin,daemon
sys::3:root,bin,adm
adm::4:root,adm,daemon
tty::5:
disk::6:root,adm,shilo,joe,lori,test
lp::7:lp
mem::8:
kmem::9:
wheel::10:root,shilo
floppy::11:root
mail::12:mail
news::13:news
uucp::14:uucp
man::15:
audio::17:shilo,joe,lori,test
video::18:shilo,joe,lori,test
cdrom::19:shilo,joe,lori,test
games::20:
slocate::21:
utmp::22:
smmsp::25:smmsp
mysql::27:
rpc::32:
sshd::33:sshd
gdm::42:
shadow::43:
ftp::50:
pop::90:pop
nobody::98:nobody
nogroup::99:
users::100:
console::101:
music::102:shilo,joe,lori,test
scanner::103:shilo,joe,lori,test
messagebus:x:104:
haldaemon:x:105:

Your's will be a little different, but you get the idea.

Oh, and I usualy reboot after that. Don't know if you have to, but hey, I learned with Windows.

cdrom is not there?

Nor is audio or video. Add them. That's how you make new groups.

Smokey · 10-07-2004, 09:12 PM

I added them what do I have to restart for it to go in effect?

shilo · 10-09-2004, 05:44 PM

I don't know. I reboot a lot. That works.
