johnnyv Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 hi i installed 9.0 on a computer with a cdwriter and everything was working fine, i deleted the removable media icon of the desktop after placing the floppy and cd icons on the desktop. after that i couldn't access cd or fdd from the links no access permissions error root didn't have access permissions either i could play music cds from a player ok but could not view the contents via a file manager. i couldnt mount from the command line either or access through the console after a little mucking around with access permissions i got the fdd to work normally but not the cdwriter, the access permissions appear the same as my other working 9.0 installations so i don't know where the problem is. any ideas? disable supermount?

Cannonfodder Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 What is your /etc/fstab settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted October 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 This is a related fstab entry none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 I think this happened after i deleted the removable media icon off the desktop.

Counterspy Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 That is wrong. Also disable supermount with supermount -i disable from the command prompt. Here is the part of mine relevant to removable devices: /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,nosuid,ro,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,nosuid,ro,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,sync,unhide,noauto,nosuid,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0 /dev/fd1 /mnt/floppy2 auto iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,sync,unhide,noauto,nosuid,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0 In each case there was a number of spaces after the /dev/device entries. I suspect the spaces are where supermount once resided. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
