Hi,
when I open the "computer:///"-location in GNOME there should be a list
of all my drives (CD drive, floppy, ...). On my system I only see the
list entries "filesystem" and "network". My DVD recorder and my
floppy
drive are not listed. But I can mount and access them manually per
/dev/dvd (symlink to /dev/scd0)and /dev/floppy-fd0 (symlink to
/dev/fd0). Automounting of medias inserted into the DVD drive does not
work either. I did a fresh install of FC5 and made a complete update via
yum.
Do you have any hints about what's going wrong?
My mainboard is an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe (x86_64, NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI
MCP chipset). My DVD recorder is a Plextor PX-760SA (SATA).
I would like to file this bug in Bugzilla but I don't now what component
is affected. Is this a GNOME related bug?
I think all of your stuff would have worked at first, before you
upgraded. One of the newer kernels or SOMETHING decided that the old
SATA scheme of dev/scd(x) has been changed to /dev/hd(x) and now all DvD
player apps complain that they cannot now access nor find the device.
Xine complains, but when I hit the DvD button the movie cranks right up.
I've been bitching about this for months. Ric
