It seems that Mandriva 2005 LE refuses to read any audio CDs. I suspect that DVDs will cause the same problem on my DVD driover (SONY DRU-510AK)

The error is

Code:

CD-ROM read or access error (or no audio disc in drive).

Please make sure you have access permissions to:

/dev/hdb

It reads program DVDs

If I eneter a data CD/DCD and I run an ls on /mnt/cdrom, the list of files on the disc are provided. But if it is an audio CD nothing is returned. Is there some files I should download?

Actually, I have noticed that it is kscd that has an issue. When I run Totem/MPlayer(?) I am able to play an audio CD. So the question is how do I change the program that is associated with playing CDs?

I think kscd is pointing to a CD device that you don't have read permissions to. Post your /etc/fstab.

Here is the fstab. The DVD-Writer is /dev/hdb

Code:

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details

/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1

/dev/hda9 /home ext3 defaults 1 2

/dev/hdd1 /mnt/Media\040Drive ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0

/dev/hdc1 /mnt/WinLin vfat umask=0,defaults 0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/XP\040Drive ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0

/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-15,suid 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

/dev/hda10 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2

/dev/hda7 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2

/dev/hda8 /var ext3 defaults 1 2

/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

/dev/sda1              /mnt/USB_STICK          vfat    pamconsole,exec,noauto,noatime,sync,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15,managed 0 0

So I've changed KsCD to point to /mnt/cdrom instead of /dev/hdb. It now recognises the CD but won't play it :(
