Winecfg, and my DVD drives

FathisAeril · 2010-07-14 04:14:20

Okay, I've got latest wine, run winecfg, autodetect, I get 2 entries "/media/dvd" "/media/cd" The hardware is a DVDrom and a DVD RW

If I put a CD into the DVDrom drive, go to /media and double click the cd rom folder, it takes me to the contents of the cd.

If I put a cd into the DVD RW drive (Like in multi-cd installs), go and double click the dvd folder under /media, I get taken to a blank folder with no data. Also, the contents of the cd in the dvd RW gets mounted as its own special folder under /media.

How can I make Fstab / Udev mount the DVD RW cd's under /media/dvd?

Fstab:

What happens if you go to /media/D2PAK_2 instead of /media/dvd?

jocheem67 · 2010-07-14 04:24:19

I can't answer your question, only confirm the issue: wine doesn't recognize cd and dvd-drives?
I'm using foobar2000 and Exact Audio Copy. The first prog doesn't recognize audiocd's whereas the second does...
My only hint here would be something like linking /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 against /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd....
If you didn't mean this, than I'll keep my mouth shut...

> wine doesn't recognize cd and dvd-drives?
I'm certainly not an expert on wine, but you have to add drives in winecfg, you start with C: only.

> linking /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 against /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd.
That's right

[karol@black jumanji]$ l /dev | grep cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1       21 07-13 01:04 cdrom -> /dev/cd/cdrom-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1       21 07-13 01:04 cdrom0 -> /dev/cd/cdrom-1:0:0:0
[karol@black jumanji]$ l /dev | grep sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1        3 07-13 01:04 scd0 -> sr0
brw-rw---- 1  11,   0 07-13 01:04 sr0

As you can see /dev/sr0 is a device and /dev/cdrom is just a link - a dummy.

It takes me to the actual contents of the CD that is in the DVDRW drive, but I don't want to have to make a special mount JUST For the other CD every time I want to install something.

This is interesting, If I put 2 CD's into the drives. the DVD drive is /dev/sr1, CD drive is /dev/sr0

if both CD"s are mounted, "umount /dev/sr1" correctly unmounts the DVD drive's cd, but "mount /dev/sr1" with the CD still in the dvd drive, returns "mount: can't find /dev/sr1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"

You can mount many drives to the same folder, but you'll be able to access the contents of only one of them if they are mounted at the same time (or you'll get an error):
/dev/sr0 -> /media/cd
/dev/sr1 -> /media/cd
...

I don't know why it uses the disk label as the folder name but I think you can override that. What do you use for (auto)mounting?

If you're using HAL comment yout fstab as it was in the first place:

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0

/dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda7 /home ext4 defaults 0 1

Then go to your home and do this:

ln -sf /dev/sr0 /home/<USERNAME>/.wine/dosdevices/d\:
ln -sf /dev/sr1 /home/<USERNAME>/.wine/dosdevices/e\:

Change d\: or e\: for any available letter so it won't overwrite any other link (ls .wine/dosdevices/). If it doesn't work we'l try something else, good luck.

PS: sorry, english it's not my native language.

Yes I am using HAL, as I have not yet found a tutorial of fully replacing HAL with Udev,

I'll try the install again in the morning and tell you how it goes.

Once again, I thank you guys, and the arch community as a whole, for the speed and accuracy of these replies. Makes me glad I switched to Arch

FathisAeril · 2010-07-14 20:44:42

Unfortunately, after running both commands re-trying the install, it still does not work

karol · 2010-07-14 21:00:41

> it still does not work
You mean you can't use your optical drives as disk D and E? Or are you referring to /the lack of /media/dvd?

Create a folder named /media/dvd (if it doesn't exist already) and run

sudo mount /dev/sr1 /media/dvd

(if you have set up your permissions and groups and have sudo installed, it should work).

Did you mount the cd/dvd devices after creating the links? If you have automount enabled it should work, that way you don't have to change your mount path from winecfg every time a cd/dvd is mounted under /media/<LABEL>.

FathisAeril · 2010-07-14 21:41:02

Yes all my devices are set to automount

karol · 2010-07-14 22:03:53

Have you tried mounting manually?

How many optical drives can you see in winecfg?

FathisAeril · 2010-07-15 00:42:40

auto-detecting in winecfg reports NO optical drives present, we had to make them using sr0 and sr1, but even that didn't work. Is this a Hal/Udev-Fstab bug? A wine bug? Or did i Miss step with installing wine to get it to detect cdrom's/dvdrom's?

karol · 2010-07-15 00:46:08

IIRC I had to input paths to cd-roms in winecfg, I don't use auto-mounting so I can't speak for that.

FathisAeril · 2010-07-15 00:59:33

using sudo mount sr0 to cd and sr1 to dvd, I was able to get dvd to link back to dvd and cd to link back to cd, correctly. Im retrying the install now,

Oddly though, the contents of the DVDROM this time were made into its own, with CD being blank (before i ran the commands) and dvdRW linked back correctly. I've double checked that I didnt get the cd's in the wrong drives. I'm not sure if I did this, I'll check after the install, but it seems that whichever is mounted first, gets put into the dvd or cd folder correctly, and the second to be mounted gets put into its own.

You should do sth similar (udev rules) for your optical drives.

FathisAeril · 2010-07-15 01:35:36

Problem -- my media folder is now missing the CD folder. My media folder typically held "cd" which was for my DVDrom drive, "dvd" which was for my DVDRW drive and a folder named "fl" which im assuming stands for floppy...which I dont have anyway.

Except now, my media folder says "dvd" and "fl" with no "cd"

karol · 2010-07-15 01:48:14

sudo mkdir /media/cd

FathisAeril · 2010-07-15 02:01:27

That'll make the directory, will it actually work with linking back to the contents of the cd inside of the drive?

karol · 2010-07-15 02:02:43

If you mount it, it will.

FathisAeril · 2010-07-15 02:09:36

Just the one time or every time after that?

like if I run,

sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd

will that make it so ANYTIME any CD is put into sr0 (my Dvdrom) it will automatically get mounted under cd? or will I have to run it everytime?

karol · 2010-07-15 02:16:12

That's manual mounting: you have to mount AND umount every time you want to access a drive.
Without the udev rules the drive names (sr0 & sr1) might get mixed up . I don't use automounting (because I use external drives very rarely) so you have to refer to the wiki. Some udev rules should solve it.: you put a disk in a drive, the system mounts it accordingly.

FathisAeril · 2010-07-15 02:23:00

Okay, I'll check out the wiki, but after I do. Is there anyway I can, with automounting, permanently link sr0 back to "cd" ?

I tried going into /dev/ and double clicking both cdrom0 and sr0 and both gave me back errors about block devices

karol · 2010-07-15 02:26:25

> Is there anyway I can, with automounting, permanently link sr0 back to "cd"
Yes, just like /dev/sda4 is my /home - everytime.

> I tried going into /dev/ (...)
<sigh>
That's why you need to mount them - you access them via the mountpoints.
