[solved]Adjust Time & mount cd/dvd roms

Xenokite · 2009-12-01 22:22:17

i have a few errors but i will like to handle the easy ones frist.

1) i would like to adjust the time set here is my rc.conf

#
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="America/New_York"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

for some odd reason the time still comes off wrong i have changed the "localtime" to "UTC" and i still got the wrong time. if there is a way just to add a few hours that would be great.

2) i can't seem to get my cd/dvd roms to work all USB hds and pen stick works fine

# <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

i removed the '#' from both /dev but the auto file type is not picking up on what type of cd or dvd in drive.

Have you tried setting your time? And in BIOS?

> I can't seem to get my cd/dvd roms to work
I need more details: what commands do you run and what errors do you get?

ralvez · 2009-12-01 23:40:45

You can use the CLI to adjust the time too.
1. set HARDWARECLOCK="UTC" <-- this is the unix/linux way
2. The following commands are to be issued as root.
hwclock --set --date "01/12/2009 18:33:00"
hwclock -- hctosys

You are done.

As per your CD I do not see anything wrong with your configuration. Can you provide some extra info? Is it an attached CD or a USB one? Do you see any error with reference to the CDR in dmesg?

R.

karol · 2009-12-01 23:54:14

@ralvez
Is it 'hwclock -- hctosys' or 'hwclock --hctosys'?

ralvez · 2009-12-02 00:11:13

It is **exactly** as I posted. Just copy and pate the code. Only change the time of course

R.

Note: hwclock stands for hardware clock and hwtosys means "hardware clock to system"

My prompt told me it doesn't like the space after '--': "hwclock takes no non-option arguments. You supplied 1."

hwclock -- hctosys

ralvez · 2009-12-02 00:25:29

I see ... that's my bad.
When you use arguments there is no space between the command and the argument.
It should be typed like this:

hwclock --set --date "01/12/2009 18:33:00"
hwclock --hctosys

R.

karol · 2009-12-02 15:27:32

One more thing: my OS treated 01/12/2009 as Jan 12th which caused usual problems - 'last mount in the future'.

ralvez · 2009-12-02 22:56:25

The order is month-day-year so 01 would be understood as January.

ok the time worked thanks a lot.

With the CD/DVD rom if it comes up in my file manager and i click on it to mount it, it will say that the file type is not listed but it is set too auto. (the cdrom is not a usb, it is a normal IDE)

The CD case is odd.
Make sure you have installed hal (pacman -S hal) and that it is in your DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.local and comment out your cd lines in /etc/fstab like:

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

Then restart you system (a-la-windows ) and then give the CD a try ... see if it works.

Failing that post the results of "dmesg | grep CD"

R.

yeah i have already installed HAL and Dbus. here some code.

Well this what i have now and i can't seem to get my cd/dvd to load up.

ralvez · 2009-12-03 22:36:02

Well ... unless there is something wrong with the CDROM itself I do not see anything odd with your configuration files.
Sorry ... I have not other ideas and I do not see what the problem could be

R.

Xenokite · 2009-12-04 03:19:43

Well i added "pmount" which is suppose to help with the auto mount but it still does allow the cd/dvd rom. there is a gui verison also but it is not in our REPOs "mount-GTK". Even before i added "pmount" i wasn't able to load up my usb HD's i ended up rebuilding arch and got the usb's too work .

# pmount -t vfat  /dev/cdrom  /media/cd
WARING : device /dev/cdrom is already handled by /etc/fstab, supplied label is ignored

now i got that after i went back in /etc/fstab and removed the "#" from in front of /dev/cdrom. But before that i got this.

# pmount -t vfat /dev/cdrom  /media/cd
MOUNT:  block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
MOUNT:  /dev/sr0: can't read superblock
ERROR: could not delete mount point: No such file or directory

perbh · 2009-12-04 03:57:05

I can almost guarantee you that the cd does not use 'vfat' - use iso9960 ('auto' should work too ...)
Just try a:

sudo mkdir /media/cd; sudo chmod a+rx /media/cd   #according to the above, the directory does not exist!
sudo mount -o ro /dev/sr0 /media/cd

oh they exist. Most of the files that i was using was already made by system. if i used mkdir i would just overwrite what is already there.

instead of using the "pmount" command i used the standard "mount" command with the frist syntax i was using and it listed:

superblocked and write-protected

Well this what i have now and i can't seem to get my cd/dvd to load up.

Here is what i came up with. i changed my Fstab file a bit

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>

none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/cdrom            /media/cd      auto      defaults            0      0
/dev/dvd              /media/dvd     auto      defaults            0      0
#/dev/fd0             /media/fl      auto      user,noauto         0      0

UUID=25f34121-387c-4679-9f44-79ddfd886a61 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=3ddb0205-e67b-4ea5-9473-822f90bb5a90 / ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=d6ceaa00-e855-45fb-8471-53c29f6a8680 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=ed06eb10-e668-45b7-abdd-4761e591eeb0 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1

also i added IDE to my "Hook= ide" on my mkinitcpio.conf

#
#    This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems usbinput"

now the only problem i still see is that when i put a Music CD it doesn't mount so i am guessing it is a filetype problem. Maybe there is a package that i need to pickup to aid on reading and executing music Cds.

This won't be a proper fix, but the app called Grip works good for playing music CD's: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=grip

I don't think you "mount" audio cds, you either play them or rip them.
