[Solved... but I still wonder what happened] DVD doesn't play

[Marcel Rieux]

Since nobody seemed to report a problem playing DVDs, I decided to check my
settings.

Smplayer and Gmplayer were both set to play DVDs from /dev/dvd

I checked and there was no /dev/dvd. So, I did:

ls -l /dev/dvd*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 2010-03-24 12:52 /dev/dvd1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 2010-03-24 12:52 /dev/dvdrw1 -> sr0

I set both players to dvd1 and everything is back to normal.

I never changed these settings. Not a chance, mainly in *two* media
players... that worked perfectly.

If I'm not hacked, how is this possible? I used a USB flash drive recently
and sometimes removed it without unmounting. Can this have caused the
problem? The drive is mounted on /dev/sdb1.

Personally, I'm really without a clue.
