Guest news-blitz Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hello, I'm new to Mandriva, I installed it today and it auto-mounts system:/media/hda and says it's an Audio CD, but when I open it, it says Unknown error. If you have a cd in the drive try running cdparanoia -vsQ as yourself (not root). Do you see a track list? If not, make sure you have permission to access the CD device. If you are using SCSI emulation (possible if you have an IDE CD writer) then make sure you check that you have read and write permissions on the generic SCSI device, which is probably /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1, etc.. If it still does not work, try typing audiocd:/?device=/dev/sg0 (or similar) to tell kio_audiocd which device your CD-ROM is. There is no media/hda, and I don't know what's wrong. Please help. Thank You! [moved from Software by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orts Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Have you installed the right codecs? If you'll open the from konsole, then try /dev/hda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest news-blitz Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) I didn't even insert a CD. It just pops up from time to time ~1 hour. Edited November 3, 2007 by news-blitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I didn't even insert a CD. It just pops up from time to time ~1 hour. How odd. what version of Mandriva are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest news-blitz Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) The last one available, I downloaded it yesterday. I used Ubuntu, openSUSE and now Mandriva, the / partition was formated but the /home partition remained the same all the time not being formated.

scarecrow Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) It seems your HAL daemon is misbehaving. An audioCD cannot be mounted at all, anyway (audio CD's have no filesystem, so they are not mountable, unless you use a virtual filesystem - say KDE's "audiocd:/"). Did you update your udev/hal/dbus/pmount to the latest available versions? And - more important: does it happen if you switch to Gnome, XFCE4, Icewm or any other desktop environment?

Guest news-blitz Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Please help me, it's becoming really annoying, I like Mandriva, but if this persists I will have to move to another OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest news-blitz Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Moved back to Ubuntu and GNOME, bad impression on Mandriva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
