Hi, I've been trying to work out a CDROM issue I have in Mandrake 8.1 but I'm stuck :(
CDROM or DVDROM or CDRW all work fine at the console and in KDE...but When I launch GNOME I can mount the drive and view all the files on the CD, however when I try to copy any file from the CD to the Hard drive it shows a blank file with 0 bytes (but gives the file name). I'm logged in as Root and have full permission to the desktop or other directories I've tried to copy files to. I'm currently using a Compaq DVD-ROM DVD-114 (well tested in Win98 2k and XP, and works fine at console and KDE) Things I have checked and tried; dmseg reports the correct drive model Also reports - hdc: ATAPI DVD ROM drive, 512kb Cache, UDMA (33) lilo.conf - append=" devfs=mount quiet" fstab - /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro Default was - /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user, iocharset=iso8859-1, umask, sync, exec, codepage=850, noauto 0 0 cat /proc/devices - Block devices 1 ramdisk 2 fd 3 ide0 9 md 22 ide1 cat /proc/filesystems - does not list iso9660 from boot. If I mount the drive iso9660 is then listed. I've not added or removed any programs or services from the standard install. My guess is that there must be some sort of config file for GNOME stopping it working, but I haven't a clue what or were. Hope someone can help :) Andy
