Second opinion needed [solved]

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]

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.

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]

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.

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]

Are you added to the cdrom group? And is fstab configured accordingly?

[tyme]

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]

Aye, right... I always forget that. :D

[mystified]

Adding myself to the group cdrom didn't help.

[arctic]

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...

[mystified]

users, wheel, audio, portage, cdrom.

[tyme]

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...

[mystified]

Here's all of it:

 

root::0:root
bin::1:root,bin,daemon
daemon::2:root,bin,daemon
sys::3:root,bin,adm
adm::4:root,adm,daemon
tty::5:
disk::6:root,adm
lp::7:lp
mem::8:
kmem::9:
wheel::10:root,mystified
floppy::11:root
mail::12:mail
news::13:news
uucp::14:uucp
man::15:man
console::17:
audio::18:mystified
cdrom::19:mystified
dialout::20:root
tape::26:root
video::27:root
cdrw::80:
usb::85:
users::100:games,mystified
nofiles:x:200:
smmsp:x:209:smmsp
portage::250:portage,mystified
utmp:x:406:
nogroup::65533:
nobody::65534:
ldap:x:439:
sshd:x:22:
cron:x:16:
lpadmin:x:106:
mystified:x:1000:

messagebus:x:1001:

[tyme]

hmph...don't see any other groups in there that might be useful. perhaps try adding yourself to the cdrw group? :unsure:

[mystified]

Ok, I'll try just about anything.

 

EDIT: added, no change.
