[gentoo-user] Problem emerging slrn
Hello everybody! I am trying to emerge slrn, but I get this error message: --snip-- checking for sendmail no configure: error: I can't find a sendmail executable, slrn requires a mail transport agent for sending e-mail. Please make sure sendmail is in your $PATH or use the --with-mta option to point configure to a different MTA (giving the full pathname and all needed command line arguments). --snap-- As I do not use sendmail but nbsmtp, I should point configure to /usr/bin/nbsmtp. But I do not know how to do this. I understand, that using Gentoo I have to emerge 'instead' of install the programms. When I was using SuSE, I could install programms by the way 'configure' (where I can give options), 'make' and 'install'. But now, I not even know how to do this under Gentoo. Can anybody help me with this? Every help is very much appreciated. Kind regards, Nelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom Device
Hello everybody! I am new to Gentoo. I have installed Gentoo 2005.0 on my laptop (hp pavilion ze4288, AMD Mobile XP 2200, 512 MB, 30 GB harddisk, Toshiba CD-Rom) and everything is looking good, but now I realised that I do not have any access to my CD-Rom device as a normal user. This is my /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /boot ext2defaults,noatime1 2 /dev/hda3 / ext3noatime 0 1 /dev/hda2 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom autousers,noauto,rw 0 0 /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy autonoauto 0 0 none/proc procdefaults0 0 none/dev/shmtmpfs defaults0 0 I added a user with these options: useradd paul -m -G audio,cdrom,floppy,usb,video,wheel,users passwd paul [ ... ] When I try to mount the device with: paul # mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom the system gives back: mount: only root can do that! Can anybody help me with this? I would really appreciate any hints. Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Nelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I thought ro for readonly and rw for read+write. My cd-rom device is a cd-writer. Did you try just mount /mnt/cdrom? Thank you so much, that works for me.

[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device
Thanks to everybody for answering to my posting. Now I was able as a normal user to mount a cdrom with: paul # mount /mnt/cdrom but most of my cd's that I have burned or normal audio-cd's, I am not able to mount. Not as user and not as root. I've got the following message. As user: I've could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified. If I try it again as user: paul # mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom, than I've got again the following message: mount: only root can do that!. If I try as user: paul # mount -t auto /mnt/cdrom the error message I've got is the following: mount: only root can do that!. If I try the same as superuser than happens that: root $ mount /mnt/cdrom mount: you must specify the filesystem type. root $ mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom . than I've got an output of how to use 'mount' correctly. The same happens when I try: root $ mount -t auto /mnt/cdrom If somebody knows what to do, I would be really happy about it (I would like to hear my audio-cd's, for example). Thanks to everybody in advance! Bye, Nelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device [solved]
Hello everybody! Thank you Aaron for your posting, at the moment I received your e-mail I was just reading an article about mounting cd's and that audio cd's cannot be mounted ;-) I would like to ask you how can I point my cdplayer to my cdrom-device? I am using (well, I am trying to use ...) cdplay from a shell. When I type cdplay -i (for listing tracks), it recognises perfectly the tracks on the CD. When I type cdplay -c it starts playing, but I cannot hear any sound. When I type cdplay -I it states about the track it is playing at this moment. I have read the README file corresponding to the program cdplay, but it is a very short file and it only states the way to use the program. Is there anybody who could help me with this issue? (Perhaps I need to install some more alsa-tools, or something like that - only for your information: I installed Gentoo 2005.0 (stage3-athlon-xp) on my laptop and since then I only updated the portage tree and installed fetchmail, procmail, nbsmtp, mutt, muttprint, pcmcia-cs, prism54-firmware - and I think, nothing else). Thank you very much! Bye, Nelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
