Re: Cdrom

Install your CD-ROM? And what do you mean by not working - what are you doing, specifically, and what is going wrong? Error messages?

Re: Cdrom

It's OK.

What desktop environment are you using? Gnome, KDE, etc.?

Can you manually mount your CD (Google)?

Re: Cdrom

What kind of CD are you talking about? What do you expect/want to happen? Are you using any automounting daemon? What happens when you insert a usb stick?

This is like getting blood from a stone

Re: Cdrom

1. check dmesg if there's anything scary about your drive
2. try to mount some CD manually
3. check that dbus+hal are running
4. check your fstab, if you expect hal to do the job, you should comment out some stuff (read wiki - basically cdrom+dvdrom entries)
5. check that volume management is enabled in thunar
6. don't do drugs as your avatar strongly suggests
7. this topic has the smell of help vampires sharp teeth

Re: Cdrom

protip: wanna solve your problem? then you may want to answer posters' questions...

Can you manually mount your CD (Google)?

Are you using any automounting daemon?

It's also starting to smell of trolling.
A note to OP: With your english sucking so bad, it's not a good idea to post London as your location.

Sorry, you just seem like a troll.
It looks like your permissions are all messed up, try a "chmod 1777 /tmp"
What did you do with the system ? Perhaps you should try re-installing Arch and following the Beginner's Guide
