CDs not recognized [SOLVED]

supulton · 2009-11-15 09:41:42

Hello,

I've been having a strange problem with getting any CDs to be recognized or "mounted" within Arch--they don't show up in pcmanfm's sidebar; DVDs and removable USB/SD work fine, however. What's even weirder is that Mplayer can find and play the CD.

I'm using:
kernel 2.6.31.6-1
hal 0.5.13-3
dbus 1.2.16-1

My fstab

# 
# /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/cd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/dvd               /media/dvd  auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/fd0               /media/fl   auto    user,noauto             0      0

LABEL=root /     ext4 defaults 0 1
LABEL=boot /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
LABEL=home /home ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda7  swap  swap defaults 0 0

LABEL=Windows        /mnt/windows ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002 0 0
LABEL=Shared        /mnt/shared  ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002 0 0

I've commented out the optical drives as mentioned in several places.

I also had to add "ck-launch-session openbox-session" to my openbox configuration, as I was getting permission errors with accessing removable media before and this seems like the solution. It didn't fix CDs, though.

This is the output of dmesg upon inserting a CD. I'll gladly post any other info as requested:

If you mean Audio CDs, you can't normally _mount_ them. You can try cddfs from AUR, which enables you to "mount" Audio CDs through FUSE.

Does this mean that it is normal that no directory is created for them in "/media," like how directories are created for DVDs and other removable media?

Are the error messages given by dmesg normal? Also, though I haven't played an audio CD on Arch for a while, I remember them appearing in pcmanfm's sidebar and recognized when inserted. I could be wrong, though.

Yes it's normal.
I can confirm same error messages on my end, when I insert lynda lemay in

pcmanfm never mounted an Audio CD for me

AFAIK, you can't mount audio cds as there is no filesystem on it. You can only rip them or play them using audacious,vlc,etc.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. I guess it was just another stupid assumption-made-into-a-problem on my part.
