Can't play/mount dvd's

Gnome x86_64

sandy@sandydesktop ~]$ ls -al /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-10-07 19:34 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cd/dvd-4:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-10-07 19:34 /dev/dvd0 -> /dev/cd/dvd-4:0:0:0

I can't play or mount dvd's. Looking at the above...permissions.

What do I do?

Re: Can't play/mount dvd's

Did you follow the link chain? For me it is

bp:~$ ls -lad /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cd/dvd-0:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/dvd0 -> /dev/cd/dvd-0:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/dvdrw -> /dev/cd/dvdrw-0:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/dvdrw0 -> /dev/cd/dvdrw-0:0:0:0
bp:~$ ls -lad /dev/cd/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/cd/dvd-0:0:0:0 -> ../sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/cd/dvdrw-0:0:0:0 -> ../sr0
bp:~$ ls -lad /dev/sr*
brw-rw----+ 1 root optical 11, 0  8. Okt 07:12 /dev/sr0

It is the final destination which counts. It must exist and have group permissions set to "optical" as above.

Then, is your user in group "optical" as well?
