unable to mount cdrom as non-root user

Hi
I am a new user for openSUSE…
I had to change the mounting properties of my disk partitions so i tinkered with the fstab file… Now I am unable to mount the cdrom as a normal user…

To mount the cdrom I had to login as root in terminal and use the following command:

mount /mnt/cdrom

The cdrom entry in my fstab file reads:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 auto,owner,ro 0 0

How to modify it so that the cdrom auto mounts itself whenever the CD is inserted, for all users.

Thanks in advance… :slight_smile:

Start by deleting the entry you have made as it is unnecessary. You need to give more information about your system but cdroms are normally mounted automatically by the system; one possibility if you are using KDE is that you have not configured the notifications to mount the cdrom when you insert something in it.

It may also help to post your fstab to the forum.

You can try adding your user account to the lp user group in yast2>sec and users>user and grp management.
