K3b gives me this error message:
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: only root can mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /mnt/cdrom
Well, its pretty obvious that root only can mount, and you're using
k3b without root privileges (as a normal user), dus you can't mount
it, nor use it.
/etc/fstab has this entry:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
Something like the user option is missing, that would allow your
normal user to mount and use the drive, make it:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
# ls -alg /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 reveals
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root 33 Dec 31 1969 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -
../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
/etc/group has this entry:
cdrom::19:root,james
Should I pass parameters to the device at boot
time via /etc/conf.d/hdparm file?
There's no need for that.
The cdrom works to play music and I can manually mount CDs with
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
to copy file off the cd.
You do that as root, don't you, and besides, a cdda player don't need
to mount cdroms, it uses the device itself in read-only mode. But to
copy files, you need to mount, and to mount you must be root, or
change the fstab file as stated above.
So why the error message?
What did I miss?
Better Ideas on cdrom configuration are most welcome.
As I should be able to burn CDs with this device
and watch DVD movies?
You should be able to do all you can do with your drive, in your case,
I believe you can read cds and read dvds, but as far as I know, you
can't burn cds, its a dvd drive, not a cdrw or a combo. (at least
considering the name, I may be wrong)
