Cannot mount CDs and DVDs in OpenSUSE 11.1 beta5

Hi everybody,

I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 beta 5 with KDE4 on my new Dell Studio 15 laptop. I chose this distribution becuase of the known driver issues for the ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics gard the laptop came with. Graphics works fine (at 1920x1200!) but I cannot mount CDs and DVDs! I read in another thread that people couldn’t mount USB devices. That works fine for me though, but I cannot mount CDs, neither automatically nor manually. They don’t show up in dolphin, media or in ‘Places’…

There were no lines in fstab specifying anything about the cdrom, so I added the following lines:

/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

This is what I had in my fstab on an OpenSUSE 10.2 system, but on a different laptop…

If I try to mount manually (by either saying ‘mount /dev/cdrom’ or ‘mount /media/cdrom’), I get the answer

‘mount: mount point /media/cdrom does not exist’

Great! I know my CD/DVDrom works becuase I have installed from it, but now I cannot access it. Can anybody offer help?

Thank you so much,
Tanja

Tanja,

RC1 is out, so fixing issues with Beta 5 makes no sense. I’d try RC1.
Please note we have a prerelease/beta forum.

Thanks
