Re: [newbie] cdr/rw no longer reading: Problem SOLVED
Just wanted to let any interested parties know that my drive started reading again after my computer was rebooted. I hadn't turned it off for days so...sometimes a restart helps i guess, even in linux. OTH I can't complain about stability anymore in 9,0.now that I have 256 mb of ram it almost never crashes, and when It does I think I am usually at fault :) On Tue, 2002-11-19 at 16:18, Kaj Haulrich wrote: > Joe, when I look at the fstab below it strikes me that > there are commas just in front of the "fs"-statement.

Re: [newbie] cdr/rw no longer reading
Joe, when I look at the fstab below it strikes me that there are commas just in front of the "fs"-statement. I think you should try to replace those commas with an empty space. Furthermore, I've replaced the "fs=auto" with "fs=iso9660". Works for me.

Re: [newbie] cdr/rw no longer reading
Joe, Back when supermount was really a topic of discussion, I played around a bit to see what the fuss was all about. I came up with a whole list of results based on trying different ways to look at a diskette, CD disc or Zip disk. What I found was that as long as I backed out of the volume I was changing (click on the parent directory, /mnt, or some other directory outside of /mnt) and then went back to /mnt/ after the new one was inserted, I was fine. You know, Win 98's Windows Explorer has a similar problem with removable media. It was finicky about removing media while its focus was still on it (speaking only of CDs, now.) To be sure not to lock it up, I would either force an eject by right-clicking on the CD drive and choosing 'eject', or just click on a local folder to change its focus away from the CD drive. As long as I follow this rule, supermount works fine for me in Konqueror under both 8.2 and 9.0.

I have no idea where to even start looking for my problem on his one. Cdr/rw worked like a dream, and is currently burning a cd as i write this. But it will not read a cd in konqueror.When I try to install a package from my mandrake 9 cd it spins up,then opens and asks for cd1 again when it is already in the drive. This is a brand new lite-on 40x cdr/rw. when I type mount i get: none on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0) I know other people have had supermount problems but it always worked for me. I can't think of anything I might have changed that would cause my problem. Suggestions? should I remove - none on - from my fstab? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
