Hi all!

I have installed Mandrake 9.0 in my machine and sometimes I install a CD on the CDRom access it, copy or wathever and the next time I try to access the same disc the systems tells me NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY, in this very moment that's exactly what I get. I installed Wine and before that I was able to look the files on the system, then I tried to run one game (DOS) and the system started, then Wine sent me a message saying that was not configured, so I tried to configure it and now I receive that error message.

This is not the first time that happens to me and Im wondering if is a bug on Mandrake 9.0

Any comments will be appreciated.

it sounds like you need to mount the cdrom

Yeah... check the /etc/mount and man mount

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Hi there!

I tried the option and I received this message:

MOUNT: BLOCK DEVICE /DEV/CDROM IS WRITE PROTECTED, MOUNTING READ ONLY
MOUNT: WRONG FS TYPE, BAD OPTION, BAD SUPERBLOCK ON /DEV/CDROM, OR TOO MANY MOUNTED FILE SYSTEM.

The situation is this: I turned on the computer, then I tried to run a DOS program and the Wine sends me an error message:

Wine has exited with a failure status of 1.

Wine ....

When I click on the View Log I receive the message:

/opt/wine/bin/wine.bin: cannot find '/mnt/cdrom'

Son in this very moment I dont know what to do, do you think this is a bug in Mandrake?

Thanks for any help in advance.

No, check the /etc/fsck, ake sure that the CD rom has the FS=AUTO option.

when you rebooted your machine that means the cdrom is not mounted again

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

then try wine


you cannot write to a cdrom so it's always going to be read only

Hi again!

When I tried to go to /etc/fsck the file doesnt show up, so I dont know if I should have it or if is that Mandrake doesnt have it at all.

he's talkin about /etc/fstab


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

put this line in /etc/fstab

you could put auto instead of noauto is what he said


I don't think I would do that, I would just mount it when I need to, since it's not always there

auto is for things that are always there

check post #4for further instructions


if you put the line above in fstab you can use this


mount /dev/cdrom

Hi!

I think I have discovered what is the situation, for some odd reason when I click on the link (icon) for the cdrom I get the files and the info from the cdrom, when I click on the file I want to be ran by Wine is when the whole things change, so I do a reload and the mighty message, actually I think it doesnt like any DOS (Windows) program because I tried with other program and happened the same, now I tried to play some songs from another cd (MP3) using XMMS and is doing weird things, it loads the list of songs but only plays one and when I select the next one I runs from the second all the way to the end without playing any music.

Is this a normal behavior after "crashing" some parts of the system?

oh

you are mounting a music cd?

you can't do that

try mount with a data cd

for wine run it in a terminal or xterm

wine programname

look at /var/log/messages

or

dmesg

and see if you are getting read errors on the cd you are trying to play

This is how my fstab file looks like:

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

Should I change it or leave it like it is now?

Ok, try this:
