[solved] DVD does not mount

COMMUNISTCHINA · 2008-08-24 20:00:22

I can get CDs and my mp3 player to mount, but not a DVD.
I got ivman installed last night and I added myself to these groups:
optical, storage, disk, hal, dbus

I installed the libdvd thing it showed in the wiki, but DVDs do not mount.

I have a CD/DVD combo drive, but that shouldn't be the problem because it used to work in Fedora.

These are the groups that I'm in:

ftp video audio optical storage skottish

I have both the dvd and cdrom lines in /etc/fstab commented out. Of course I have libdvdcss installed. With this setup I can mount stuff fine.

It's recommended that you are not part of either the hal, dbus, or disk groups.

Okay, I removed myself from hal and dbus groups.

I have both the dvd and cdrom lines in /etc/fstab commented out.

Why? How would that make my DVDs mount properly?

So hal can do it automatically.

I did that, logged out and then back in, but it still does not work.
In /mnt, I have a cdrom folder and a usbstick folder.
On /media, I have cd, dvd, fl, and SANSA FUZE. Is the DVD not mounting because there is not a dvd folder in /mnt or something?

Here is my fstab if that is any help

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1

/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
# /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 #???

I saw someone else had tried to do the /dev/sr0 thing, but it did not work for me, so I commented it out.

Try replacing udf with 'auto' or 'iso9660,udf' and restarting. Also, are you tring to auto mount with hal, or are you mounting from the terminal? if you are mounting from the terminal, what is the error message?

Changing it to auto did not work.
I am just putting the DVD in the drive; it works with CDs. ivman is supposed to automount.

In terminal, I typed
sudo mount /mnt/cdrom, and the error was:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

dmesg | tail says:

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT.
...

THe problem was there was not a /mnt/dvd folder.
sudo mkdir /mnt/dvd
sudo mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
Then it worked.
I guess it should automount from now on.
