Re: [newbie] help with installing external USB CD-burner needed
Hi again Anne, Thanks for your help. To be honest, I am a little nervous about using linuxconf as I have had problems in the past with linuxconf's configuration not being in sync with the configuration recorded in Mandrake's utilities (or the other way around). Also - the something like in the suggested post makes me a little nervous too (that is a newbie's priviledge - is it not :-) As for seeing the date on a regular CD ROM on the drive, well, I could not even find the drive on /mnt or anywhere else. Now, I have no problem living without the supermount, which already did cause me some problems, but I am unsure as to how to best disable it and then how to manually mount a CDRW (as a cdrom2?) inside /mnt? Could I not them rather then disableling the supermout simply try tying something like mount /mnt/cdrom2? But I think I remember that to make this possible, I need to add some lines into my fstab, and that in turn, implies that I understand how to mount a USB device intop fstab which I do not at all... These are the small miseries of the newbies' life. Thanks a lot for any solution! Cheers, Andrei __ Linux-Mandrake 9 (Dolphin) Mandrake Club Silver Member Registered Linux user: 226850 Registered Linux computer: 183163 I'm not familiar with a cd drive on usb, but here are my first thoughts. First, it appears to be seen as an ide drive, not scsi-emulated, and you will not be able to burn without that. Quoting from a recent post: 1) Open /etc/lilo.conf in your editor of choice. 2) Find the line that reads append=blah blah 3) Insert into that line hdc=ide-scsi so that it looks something like append=quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi 4) Save and quit. 5) As root, type lilo enter and Bob's yer uncle. Unquote That should give you scsi-emulation, and the drive, instead of being hdc will become scd0. xcdroast will need to have the setup run again, but it should detect the drive and all should be well. One thing worries me - you imply that you have not had any success with this drive at all. Does that mean that you can't even see data files on a cd from it? Supermount works great on some systems, and patchily or not at all on others. If it is not mounting correctly for you, you will need to disable it. Come back if this is the case.

Some of us have used linux for ages, but most of us are still newbies, really.

Are you using KDE? That's my desktop, so I tend to describe everything in kde terms. First, the safest way to use supermount, if it is going to work at all, is to use the Removable media icon on the desktop, which opens like a folder with icons for each device. You simply put in the disk, click on the icon, and you're away. BUT, you will need to close the browse windows before you can take out the disk - it stays mounted until you do. Occasionally it forgets to umount, so you have to right-click and select 'eject' which unmounts and ejects the disk. Could I not them rather then disableling the supermout simply try tying something like mount /mnt/cdrom2?

From this, I think I have been misunderstanding - this device is your second cdrom? You already have an ide cd reader? If so, we need to think again. Your log files suggest to me that it is mounting the usb device. Can you look at /dev and list any entries that you find starting with cdrom or scd?

I think someone else would have to advise you there. Mandrake is closely bound to the kde desktop, so it's probably the easiest way to start, though quite unsuitable if you have lower resources. The theory, with supermount, is that you can simply put in a disk and click on the mountpoint in any browser, and be able to see it. The problem, I think, is that you have to close anything that might cause it still to be mounted before you can eject - and that includes any opened trees in a file browser.

Re: [newbie] help with installing external USB CD-burner needed
Dear Anne, Thanks for all your efforts. I think I have not been very clear in my wailing.. First, I did not mean to say that my CDRW was a cdrom. I only meant to say that I could not even find a way of accessing the date on a regular CD inserted into my CDRW (which I could do under W2k before I removed all MS products from my laptop). Also, when I look into the contents of the file devices in /proc/bus/usb I find the follwing: QUOTE T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor= ProdID= Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=1060 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Since I have an old laptop with no free space, an internal burner is no option (besides, I don't have the money anyway). If worse comes to worse, can I at least use it as a CD drive? As of know, I don't see it even in this capaciy anywhere (not in /mnt or /proc/bus/usb).

Cheers Jason PS, it's too bad in a way because in some things Kudzu is superior...like detecting hardware changes on boot etc. Nothing to stop you getting it off the web and installing it. Kudzu allowed me to demonstrate the power of Linux to a friend who'd just sold me a new graphics card. We booted up in Linux first, kudzu found the card, drivers installed with minimum fuss, everything up and running by the time we got into X. In Windows, it was all this Windows has found new hardware and is detecting the drivers for it ... Oh dear, Windows hasn't found the drivers, so it will give you a grainy screen while you search the web for the drivers ... To install these drivers, you need to restart your computer, we don't know why, but we think it's character-forming. Sir Robin -- Do unto others what you would like others to do unto you.

Is this icon something I find in the Mandrake Control Center of is this something with KDE or some other icon? I don't know windowmaker, I'm afraid, as I use the kde desktop. I think someone else would have to advise you there. Mandrake is closely bound to the kde desktop, so it's probably the easiest way to start, though quite unsuitable if you have lower resources. The theory, with supermount, is that you can simply put in a disk and click on the mountpoint in any browser, and be able to see it. The problem, I think, is that you have to close anything that might cause it still to be mounted before you can eject - and that includes any opened trees in a file browser. Sorry I can't be more helpful here. If I can think of anything else I'll come back. Meanwhile, keep asking, if you need more help. Anne WindowMaker - ok - nah - there ain't no desktop links in WindowMaker - there's dock icons and running icons, but no links...but in essence if supermount/automount are working correctly, opening up a term and typing mount will show all the active mounts...but in being that the device is a USB cdrom device, have you checked in your /dev directory for any sym-links to cdrom devices or scd* devices? Because the device might be sitting there already as a symlink in the /dev/ directory and it's just not being mounted properly -- Tue Dec 31 08:50:00 EST 2002 8:50am up 1 day, 14:54, 6 users, load average: 0.84, 0.43, 0.24 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- * linux user:267497 * RH 7.3+ * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- Memory fault - where am I?
