Re: No access to cdrom under KDE

well likely it has the default paths of /dev/cdrom or some such thing. in arch the path to your cdrom is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 (the zero can cvary depending on how many optical drives you have)

Re: No access to cdrom under KDE

A couple of things come to mind to consider:

(a) Do you actually have a mount point for KDE?

mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom

(b) Have you "unhid" the CD-ROM in fstab (i.e., remove the reference to 'unhide' in the attributes)?

(c) If you've set up a KDE desktop icon, you'll need to edit its properties. Go to ~/Desktop and edit your "CDROM Device.desktop":

MountPoint=/mnt/cdrom
Dev=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0

or other values as appropriate.

(d) While you're at it you might want to download the "eject" package.

Good luck,

Win
