arctic Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Perhaps the module is built into the kernel but not auto-loaded at boot. :unsure: If you compiled the kernel-drivers as modules, you will have to to add the module names to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, otherwise they won't show up, I guess. echo "ide-cd" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Dunno if this will help though.

mystified Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 This is what I get: mystified@localhost ~ $ echo "ide-cd".. /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ide-cd.. /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 I did find I can mount data cds. It's audio cds that don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I did find I can mount data cds. It's audio cds that don't work. Exactly how do they "not work"? Audio CD's can't be mounted, as I'm sure you know, so we need a little bit better description of what's occuring...cd playing app not recognizing them? or just no sound?

mystified Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I just discovered that if I launch the programs as root they work. I'm added to the group audio but it's a permissions problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm added to the group audio but it's a permissions problem. Audio probably isn't the right group (i just rambled off a few when i said that)...there might be one specific to cdrom drive access, or there may be some odd permissions set up.

arctic Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Are you added to the cdrom group? And is fstab configured accordingly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 And is fstab configured accordingly? fstab wouldn't be useful in fixing an audio cd problem since audio cd's don't get mounted, and fstab is only used when mounting ;), It'd probably be dbus/HAL security settings that would need to be looked at (hell if I know where they are tho...)

arctic Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 What groups are you added to already? I am starting some research on the dbus/HAL thing tyme mentioned. Maybe I can find something useful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 could you give us the list of groups in the /etc/group file? you can delete all the info 'cept the group name. also, could you let us know what groups root is in? just for curiosities sake...
