OK, I've now got a 7.7 system built up to the point that I can test
applications. I assume that the blank line was "let's see if ken is
paying attention" - I noticed it, but decided to try it anyway.
Failed, of course.
So I took out the blank line, and got an error when I booted - udev
did not like it, SYMLINK was on a new line, without any
continuation.
I then spent some time trying to get multiple backslashes to work,
but without any success - \\ caused sed to barf on the S of SYMLINK,
using \\\ left sed waiting for something to be completed.
So in the end I'm using
sed '1d;/SYMLINK.*cdrom/ a\
KERNEL=="sr0", ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD}=="1", SYMLINK+="dvd",
OPTIONS+="link_priority=-100"' \
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules >/etc/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules
Works with xine using /dev/dvd.
Still not convinced if this is worth putting in the book, google
should be able to find it here :)
ĸen - currently playing a DVD with vlc - that was already set to use
/dev/sr0, but for me this is worth noting because it's the first
time I've ever been able to play a DVD in vlc without it stuttering.
No idea what changed, hope it will be the same on my other machines.
