Re: [newbie] CD drive paths messed up
How do I use the Link to Location (URL) in XMMS to point to the CD icon? What do I enter in the field expecting a URL?

Re: [newbie] CD drive paths messed up
Thanks...I think the bigger problems are the issues with my CD devices and how they are appearing in fstab and permissions to them. Again, they have been acting buggy only recently. I don't know if it was a urpmi upgrade recently that did it, but abcde can no longer reference my CD drive to rip songs where it once did, my CD players and XMMS no longer point to the right devices... I'm just trying to get everything back as it was...the XMMS thing is just a symptom to the underlying problem. :-( On Sun, 2003-06-08 at 14:07, Anne Wilson wrote: Mine says 'xmms /dev/cdrom' Anne On Sunday 08 Jun 2003 5:44 pm, Trey Sizemore wrote: Still nothing.

Yes, 2 drives as you've said. I'm pretty sure the cdrecorder line was added by k3b (SCSI emutlation for CD burning. It has worked in the past with that line OK...that's what's weird now.

[newbie] CD drive paths messed up
I am assuming a recent upgrade of KDE from 3.1 to 3.1.2 may have caused some undesired changes. Before the desktop shorcuts for my CD drive and CD-RW drive functioned as expected, CD players saw CD's in my drive, abcde ripped and encoded CDs placed in the CD drive, etc. Now, these shortcuts no longer work and point to nothing. HardDrake has the drives identified as /dev/hdd (CD drive) and /dev/scd0 (CD-RW). I never really had to reference the devfs device names. Also, file managers say I (as a user) do not have permission anymore to these devices. AAHHH!! What is the most effective way to fix this? I'd like to easily play CD's again and use abcde. Here is my fstab. I would assume changes should be made here?: /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/zip supermount dev=/dev/sda4,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 Thanks in advance for any assistance!
