Unable to read cds in Slackware 12


I am using Slackware 12 on an AMD 64 bit computer. I have a Sony CD-RW. I was trying to browse through a data cd. One inserting the CD, I try to browse through it using Konqueror. The CD shows up in /mnt but when I click on it, I get this message:

Quote:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
When I check in /mnt/cdrom, it appears as if the CD has not been mounted. I can mount it by the mount command and browse through it in command line in /mnt/cdrom. When I try to play a music CD, I get the same message when I try to play it using a CD player like KsCD. When I try to mount it, I get an error - "mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock". The CD is OK and plays in my CentOS 5 system that I have as dual boot. For that matter I can't play any of my other CDs in Slackware 12.

Please help.

Cool read the sticky about HAL

sounds like you need to add yourself to the various groups (cdrom, audio, etc) in /etc/group as described in the sticky about HAL at:
