Re: [newbie] Command execution
When you type in a program to be executed, bash will search for the programs based on what's in your PATH environmental variable. If you don't have "./" in your PATH, it won't look there for the program. Just add "./" to your PATH in .bash_profile, it will fix the problem. It's a matter of taste whether you want it to look in the current dir or not I guess.

Re: [newbie] CD Burner
The CD RW seems to be faked out to be a SCSI device even though it's really an IDE device. Try linking cdrom -> scd0 and read the tutorial on the mandrake site for CD RW it sort of talks about this. Mine used to think it should be hdd and wouldn't do anything but after switching to scd0, everything works now, my cd player, gtoaster, etc. Michael wrote: > Hi there! > I have a problem with the configuring of my CD RW.

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
I don't know if this will help, but this is what I did. In /etc/fstab, I moved the cdrom line above the floppy line. (just for grins) And also, the device I used was not /dev/hdd it was /dev/scd0. Once I did those two things everything started working. I was reading the www.linux-mandrake.com tutorials page is what gave me that idea to use the scd0. You might want to go there and read where it talks about getting a cdwriter working with mandrake. Apparently it tricks the cdwriter by using the scsi device for it even though it's really IDE. During installation, it weirdly sets it back to IDE and then it quits working - That's why it quits working after you install linux-mandrake. The tutorial helped me understand it some - check it out. my fstab looks like (partial): /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 make sure /dev/cdrom links to /dev/scd0 cd /dev ls -l cdrom cdrom -> scd0 Eduardo Arauz wrote: > -Original Message- > From: Eduardo Arauz [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 4:02 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject:RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible > > Hi Alan i am having a similar problem mounting my cd rom, but in this case > i ve trying almost everything ( today i will try to switch the IDE cables > of my cd rom and cd-R to see what happens), and my fstab is exactly like > the one above > -- i have changed it to a thousand different forms and nothing happens, it > sends the following error " unable to accses the specific directory" or the > other error is " inut/output error"... i am thinking that is a hardware > problem with my jumpers because the others device supermount perfectly. > and yes i disabled the supermount and try to make it manual and the same > error occurs. > please if you or something else can help me ... > > J--->>>>>>imoh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount. > That line in your /etc/fstab file is not correct, it should be > like the one below: > > /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom > 0 0 > > and of course the softlink /dev/cdrom should link to /dev/hdd > > Alan > > -Original Message- > From: Alan Shoemaker [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2000 12:28 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Jim Brown > Subject:Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible > > Jimoh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount. > That line in your /etc/fstab file is not correct, it should be > like the one below: > > /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom > 0 0 > > and of course the softlink /dev/cdrom should link to /dev/hdd > > Alan > > Jim Brown wrote: > > > > Thanks for the info! > > I did an "ls -l" in the /dev dir and it shows "cdrom -> hdd" > > I tried deleting that and doing "ln -s hdc cdrom" and "ln -s hdb cdrom" > > etc for different devices.

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Thanks for all of the helpful answers, I'm getting there I think! Ok, I got the cdrom drive working, well sort of. I mounted it to /dev/scd0 and I could mount the Linux install disk and get a directory as well as a DOS disk I had laying around, I could mount it and get a directory. However, when I try to use the kscd program to read a music cd, it just says it has an access error. I made sure the cd drive wasn't mounted to anything, but I can't get kscd to see a music cd. I verified that kscd is pointing to /mnt/cdrom. Should I be trying to mount it somehow? Anyway, this seems odd to me since I thought supermount was supposed to automagically mount and unmount the cds and such for me.

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Thanks for the info! I did an "ls -l" in the /dev dir and it shows "cdrom -> hdd" I tried deleting that and doing "ln -s hdc cdrom" and "ln -s hdb cdrom" etc for different devices. They all still go to the floppy when I get into kscd. I looked at the configuration for kscd and it shows "/mnt/cdrom". I looked at fstab and it shows for the cd: "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=iso9660 0 0" Alan Shoemaker wrote: > Jimit sounds like /dev/cdrom is a softlink pointing to > /dev/fd0.

[newbie] CD Rom not accessible
I'm having trouble accessing my CDRom for Music and data. When I click on the CDRom Icon with a windows or linux (mandrake install disk) cd, I can't see any data. When I get into the kscd program, it can't find a disk. When I go to lothar it finds my cd (model: CRW6206A, device:/dev/hdd bustype: atapi/ide). When I go back to kscd and try to set /dev/hdd in the cdrom device it still doesn't see it. When I go to drakeconf and then click filesystems and local drive, I can set the cdrom to /dev/hdd, but that doesn't help either. I guess I'm a newbie.
