Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.1 Music cd

[Ethan]

well, when I type mount, I get:

/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw,noatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
devfs on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /home type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43)

So I don't see the cdrom mounted. Am I missing something here ?

thanks. /ethan

My mistake...

As root, type

  # umount MOUNTPOINT

Where MOUNTPOINT is where your CD-ROM drive is mounted. Usually this is
/mnt/cdrom.

Assuming that your CD-ROM drive is /dev/cdrom:

 # umount /dev/cdrom

This should be done as root. Once done, try playing your CD.

Hi all,

I am trying to play Music CDs under Mandrake 8.1 but the error from

the

CD player says: CDROM read or access error, make sure that you have
access to /dev/cdrom.... the permissions are root:root but ls -lL does
not give any output... pls help how can I play CDs on the CDrom? BTW,

I

can mount a normal CDROM....

thanks,

.ethan

Ethan, are you using something like CDplayer or Alsaplayer? You can
not mount a audio CD, it is just put in the CDROM and then started

>from the CDplayer. Not being well versed in command line I use the

players I installed on the KDE desktop so am not shure how you use an
audio player from command line. But if you use KDE click on the
kpanel>multimedia>sound and pick alsaplayer and then click on the
folder icon on the left of the gui and your CD should start. HTH

I am using CD player from the KDE>multimedia option. Not using from the
command line. It does _not_ work.... like I said, it gives the error
above. pls help. thanks, /ethan

Make sure that the CD-ROM drive is not mounted, as has been mentioned

above.

Supermount shouldn't give any trouble, but sometimes it helps to disable

it.
