You need to follow the second part of Kaj's advice and edit your /etc/fstab file to look like the example he gave.
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 (Note these two entries occupy one line each. There is a space before and after 'auto') Once you have it set up right you should also edit your CD icons on your desktop to select the correct device (Just right click on the icon and you should be able to work out how to edit it) derek On Tuesday 15 January 2002 15:19, Andre Dubuc wrote: > Hi derek, > > Well, I did what Kaj suggested, and checked my kdsdrc file and it's already > set to /dev/scd1 -- still get "ejected" on the display. > > Somehow, I think that I haven't set /dev/scd1 yet -- mainly because I don't > know how to do it. > > Any ideas? > > Tia, Andre > > On Tuesday 15 January 2002 09:39, you wrote: > > After doing as Kaj advises then find the hidden file in your home > > directory ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc and edit the line > > CDDevice=/dev/cdrom and change it to /dev/scd1 You will then be able to > > play audio CD's on your Cdrom > > > > derek > > > > On Tuesday 15 January 2002 14:13, Kaj Haulrich wrote: > > > Andre Dubuc wrote: > > > > My cdwriter is /dev/cdrom, and my CDROM is /dev/cdrom2. > > > > > > Andre, try to change those to /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 respectively.
