sound problems

To configure my cd player, grip, I should set the cd rom device as /dev/cdroms if I am not mistaken. But I get nothing.

Re: sound problems

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0

That's if it's your first/only one.

Re: sound problems

If I do that when I start grip I get Error: Unable to initialize {/dev/cdroms/cdrom0}

Re: sound problems

What's your /etc/fstab say about your cdrom(s)?

Re: sound problems

If you are using latest packages then there is no /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 anymore. Check out your /etc/udev/rules.d. You can use something like /dev/hdc (depending where do you have your cdrom connected) and/or you can add your own symlinks for cdrom and use them.

If you want to do this create /etc/udev/rules.d/00.udev.rules and put something like this inside

BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdc", SYSFS{removable}="1", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom*", NAME="%k", GROUP="users", SYMLINK="mycdrom cdroms/cdrom0"

If you pasted that from your fstab, there's a typo in that line: "users" should be "user" ... this could be the problem.

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is the right device, anyway.  Can you mount it (as non-root) with

$ mount /mnt/cdrom

?

Re: sound problems

Thanks, I looked at that many times and didn't even notice. Of course with user rather than users it works fine now.

Thanks
