I found that sometimes supermount caused problems if you cd into the CD-ROM/CD-RW directory but issuing commands from any other directory giving the CD-ROM/CD-RW path worked fine. And since I like supermount I decided to just "get used to it" and I have. Haven't had a problem since. What is your fstab entry for the device?

A common glitch is to have "user" enabled in a supermount device. The user option is for manually mounted media (itr allows a normal ser to mount the device). Supermount allows user access by default, and adding the user option seems to make it go loopy.

I had to disable supermount (supermount -i disable) and now everything it goes well.

Re: [newbie] Anyone got Supermount to work correctly in MDK 9?
No... Supermount works just fine for me. You did 'cd /mnt/cdom' before trying to urpmi * I hope (urpmi *.rpms aint gonna work) In any case here is the ***Tip of the day for newbies*** In 9.0 clicking on an RPM within Konqueror causes Kpackage to open, and you can then install the RPM by highlighting it and clicking install etc. KPackage is very slow, and is 'over the top' if all you want is to install the RPM. If you open KDE ControlCentre>FileBrowsing>FileAssociations type 'rpm' inthe search box then look at the file association 'x-rpm' you will see Kpackage is the default application associated with RPMs. Select 'SoftwareInstaller' and move it up the list to the top. Now when you click on an RPM you will see a little box asking for root password, and then the RPM will be installed quickly and neatly. derek On Wednesday 16 Oct 2002 1:40 pm, G_REEPER wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Just a question, > I have had a lot of trouble getting supermount to work correctly.

[newbie] Anyone got Supermount to work correctly in MDK 9?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just a question, I have had a lot of trouble getting supermount to work correctly. Mainly when installing rpms off of cds other than the mdk disk. Like the sims cd. Just to give you a blow by blow. I place the cd in and open it with the removable media link. It opens it fine and displays the contents of the cd. When I launch a shell to install the rpms I issue the urpmi *.rpms and I get no rpms found. I get the same if I just try to click the rpms. I have copied the entire cd to a drive via winblows and can install it from the shell with no problems. It doesn't seam to be limited to this single cd. As I have yet to get mkiso to make a iso file of any cd. Yet Mandrake's add software works fine for installing rpms on their cds. Any clues??
