What are you trying to do?
Get data of off a dvd, play a dvd? You need to give us more information.

Check out the beginners guide, it might be useful: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide

mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd

Are you in the "optical" group? Run 'groups' to check.
If you're not: gpasswd -a yourusername optical

rishabh · 2008-05-18 23:25:40

ya i m in the optical group.It says that please specify the filetype.Also when i did ls /dev/ i couldnt find the sr0 file u mentioned in the mount command.

you might need to run modprobe udf and possibly modprobe iso9660
Your dvd drive path might be different from mine

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL. Most file managers support HAL. PCMANFM, Konqueror, Thunar, Nautilus(?).

Try 'cat /etc/fstab' and see where the default mount point for your cd/dvd rom drive is. You might want to look into pmount, since it lets you mount as a user.

hey Guys
it always ask me to specify the file system type when i try to mount my dvdrom.And on doing wht u saidthe following is the output.:
#
# /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 /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/fd0 auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

rayjgu3 · 2008-05-19 21:23:37

in your fstab replace auto option with udf,iso9660
like so

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom  udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

rishabh · 2008-05-19 22:00:07

Have you been able to see the drive in another distro or windows?
