You can check if HAL does what it is supposed to do. Use this command: lshal --monitor Then you should get this kind of output when you insert a CD into the drive: 21:46:56.798: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.removable.media_available = true 21:46:56.864: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.removable.media_size = 633229312 (0x25be5000) (new) 21:46:57.151: volume_label_CLTS1 added (It can take a few seconds before these messages appear.) When you eject the CD again you should see something like this: 21:49:17.121: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.removable.media_available = false 21:49:17.125: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.partitioning_scheme = '' (new) 21:49:17.902: volume_label_CLTS1 removed If you see this then HAL is fine. (CTRL-C ends the monitoring.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
