Problem mounting CD in Slackware-12.0
 
Hello,

I have successfully installed Slackware-12.0. But when I insert a CD as root, I get the following error message:

Unable to mount ...

A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message ...

I am not able to read the contents of the disk.

What the is problem? How to solve this?



Thanks for your help.

Well, quick resolution is that :
uncomment your cdrom device in fstab

the reason thats commented out in fstab is because it conflicts with hal

I modified /etc/fstab file:
Code:
(...)
#/dev/hdd        /mnt/cdrom      auto        noauto,owner,ro  0  0
#/dev/hdc        /mnt/dvd        auto        noauto,owner,ro  0  0
/dev/hdd        /mnt/cdrom      auto        noauto,user,ro  0  0
/dev/hdc        /mnt/dvd        auto        noauto,user,ro  0  0
/dev/sda1        /mnt/usb        vfat        noauto,user,ro  1  0
(...)
Now I can automount my CD-RW, DVD-RW and USB-Stick (+ Safely Remove). I didn't made another change in my system, only /etc/fstab.
