I can't seem to get my cdrom permissions right. I can play a cd and dvd. I can look though the files on a dvd movie. When I put a dvd in that I created with pictures and movies on it I can't look though the directories. The directories have locks on them. I can see a file if its not in a directory. I have tried chmod and chown. I have also edited my fstab:

Quote:

dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb3 /home/extra defaults 1 2
/dev/hda1 /win ntfs ro 1 0
/dev/hdb2 /home/extra_fat vfat auto,rw,umask=000 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/dvdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0

I do thank everyone for there help!

You might be tired of seeing me, but here goes.

Code:

/dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       auto        noauto,owner,ro  0   0
/dev/hda         /dvd1            auto        noauto,users,ro  0   0
/dev/hdc         /dvd2            auto        noauto,users,ro  0   0

Those are permissions for these two drives:

Code:

mingdao@silas:~$ dmesg | grep -i atapi
hda: TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-H552U, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)
hdc: ATAPI 63X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2000kB Cache, UDMA(66)

They mount as user, and read as user; write to them with the usual tools.
To mount I issue:

Code:

mingdao@silas:~$ mount /dvd2
mingdao@silas:~$ cd /dvd2/
mingdao@silas:/dvd2$ ls -alh
total 6.5K
dr-xr-xr-x  4 4294967295 4294967295 136 2001-01-10 23:59 ./

dr-xr-xr-x  2 4294967295 4294967295 612 2001-01-10 23:28 VIDEO_TS/
mingdao@silas:/dvd2$ cd
mingdao@silas:~$ umount /dvd2
mingdao@silas:~$ eject /dvd2
mingdao@silas:~$

That was a DVD movie, which will also play in Xine. But to play a DVD, or a regular music CD, you don't mount the disc. A data disc is different, though. I just mounted what was in the drive to show you how to mount.

You might want to issue "xine-check" (if you have a DVD) as user and follow it's instructions, also. That will help you setup your drive -- if it's a DVD.

No, not at all!

I changed my fstab information to match yours.

I mount my data dvd:

Now here is the weird part. This is a dvd movie.

The data dvd that I don't have access to, was made just recently with nero linux. I tested out a dvd that I made with K3b and I have permission to read.

Before I couldn't mount a windows nero multisession. Now I can mount them fine with Slackware. Now, I don't have permission to read a disc made with nerolinux. I guess the moral of the story is "Stay away from Nero".

I do like Slackware so far. I installed Gnome 2.12 with Jeff McCoys guide and everything went great. I installed gramps and it worked! I really like that I can have a directory full of software that I want to install, and run the command:

Quote:

installpkg *tgz

and it intalls everything with no errors. I did an update patch and I got "0" errors. I do like the "NO" dependencies.

Here is the solution to my screen problem:

When I boot linux, my screen goes blank and says "video mode not supported" and thats it. I changed /etc/inittab to runlevel4. When I boot linux, my screen goes blank and says "video mode not supported" just like before. Except now if I wait, my screen will turn back on when the login screen comes on.

That sounds like you have a wrong unsupported video mode in /etc/lilo.conf

Code:

# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
# vga=773
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k
# vga=788
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k
# vga=787
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256
# vga=771
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k
# vga=785
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769

Try other modes by uncommenting a 'vga=' line. Save the file and run lilo

Thanks for the reply Dive. I have tried VGA=773 and it didn't seem to work. I will try some more.

Bruce Hill · 04-20-2006, 05:26 PM

Boot your comp and when you come to the LILO screen don't automatically enter on your Slackware image; but rather hit the up or down arrow keys and it will say boot: and then type in whatever your Slackware image name is and then a space and then "vga=normal" without the quotes and try that. For instance:

Slackware vga=normal

And please post your entire "/etc/lilo.conf" and "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

You may need to copy the directories to your hard drive and "chmod u+x" them. If the directories are not "executable" you can see the contents. Check if you own them as well.

I got it to work:

Quote:

# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
#vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
# vga=773
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k
# vga=788
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k
# vga=787
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256
vga=771
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k
# vga=785
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769

Next time I install I will know to do:
