I can’t seem to be able to mount my DVD properly and I’m not sure if it’s a PolicyKit issue or something is wrong with automount. I’m using Suse11.1 and KDE 4.1
Here’s a snippet from /var/log/messages:
Dec 20 14:10:22 linux-ede3 kernel: UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
Dec 20 14:10:22 linux-ede3 kernel: UDF-fs INFO UDF: Mounting volume 'HOLY_SMOKE ', timestamp 2006/06/06 17:48 (103c)
Dec 20 14:10:22 linux-ede3 hald: mounted /dev/sr0 on behalf of uid 1000
Dec 20 14:10:30 linux-ede3 hald: unmounted /dev/sr0 from '/media/HOLY_SMOKE ’ on behalf of uid 1000
Yesterday, I was unable to mount a dvd until I editied /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf to:
<match action=“org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable”>
<return result=“yes” />
</match>
and then this morning I wasn’t able to unmount the drive until I added:
<match action=“org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject”>
<return result=“yes” />
</match>
Well, now I can mount and unmount the drive in Dolphin and when I use the device notifier, but I can’t play the dvd in VLC or Kaffiene.
VLC says:
Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disk “/dev/sr0”.
Your input can’t be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘dvd:///dev/sr0’. Check the log for details.
Need help bad.
