Siddus Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi, I have a strange problem on my Mandrake 10 PowerPack .. When I first installed it, everything worked just fine, but now it seems that it has lost my dvd-player (a Lite-On) which it had no problems with before. Everytime I try top make any adjustments of the system and it wants me to put in one of the install-cd's, Mandrake don't seem to be able to locate the discs and keeps asking me too put the disk in my cd-rom ???? It seems that somewhere on the way, Mandrake has lost my DVD-Player and don't seem to be able to mount it again ?? How do I fix this problem ????

Sherpa Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 well if you are updating something, or adding something, and you have not set up your sorces with easy urpmi, then your only list of sources is the disks, so you will have to instert them to update something....

Siddus Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I don't think you understand my problem ... Mandrake has lost the installed DVD-rom and therefore it cant reed the discs from that device ... I don't have a CD-rom installed, only the DVD-player .. That is why I need help. how do I get Mandrake to find and install the dvd-player again ????? Siddus Linux-Newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 This can happen when there is an error in Mandrake tools or when the rpm database is messed up. Try restarting x. If that doesn't work, then try restarting the computer. If you look under /dev, you will see that the device is still there. The Mandrake tool can't find it, or any other device in your system. So, your computer is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
