I did the chmod 777 for both /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd. FX [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Well I made some progress. I booted into the 2.4.24 kernel and it worked. I could play a DVD movie. Booted back into the 2.6.6 kernel and it still will not access /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd. Gonna try a recompile and see what happens there.

FX Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 chmod 777 /dev/hdc fixed it. FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 !nkubus: the problem wasn't his player, but permissions on his dvd device. FX: you shouldn't need to do chmod 777 as you only need read access, not write access too. As I believe I mentioned on IRC, I think this is a group problem. Could you post the output of: ls -a /dev/hdc so we can try to make things a little more secure? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux_learner Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 chmod 666 would work. perhaps even chmod 664. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
