USB portabel DVD plaer burner not showing in kde

Gps2010 · July 12, 2019, 9:10pm

I am trying to watch a movie on dvd, through an usb connected dvd player / burner.

Can’t find it in KDE but after some googling and typing a command I think I found it.

guus@linux-0pkp:~> ls -l /dev /dev/mapper |grep '^b'
brw-rw----  1 root disk      8,   0 12 jul 14:31 sda

brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom    11,   0 12 jul 20:49 sr0

The last line, I think that’s the usb connected dvd player.

VLC media player and sm player exit right away , when I select play disk.

The date and time match, this can’t be a coincidence ?

IME the first step in debugging external drives is to run dmesg in a terminal right after you plug it in, like this:

Kde and Mplayer don’t seem to see it though

mrmazda · July 13, 2019, 11:39pm

Try in YaST user & group management adding the group cdrom to username.

Gps2010 · July 14, 2019, 1:50pm

I can’t find that group.

I might have found something though.

I managed to start the movie in the dvd player by:

Kde still does not show the dvd player though. :?

If you can’t figure out groups in YaST2, then goto /etc/group and add guus to the cdrom line, like so:

cdrom:x:20:guus

After doing so, reopen YaST2 to see where guus showed up, so you might understand how to make further adjustments.

If 'cdrom:x:20:guus' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf cdrom:x:20:guus
guus@linux-0pkp:/etc>

Gps2010 · July 14, 2019, 8:21pm

With help of this page:

https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book.opensuse.startup/cha.yast.userman.html

I managed to add me to the group cd-rom.

Now will try again to connect dvd player and report back.

Gps2010 · July 14, 2019, 8:32pm

That did not change anything. KDE still does not show the dvd player.

When I tel lsmplayer to play a disk it crashes

Gps2010 · July 14, 2019, 9:45pm

I might have found the problem, but have not tested it yet.

Device notifier, I changed some settings.

Set up removable devises.

I found something there, under not connected devices.

Blade Trinity Disk 1. That is the movie I was trying to watch. ( Blade 1 )

It’s now set to auto connect all removable devices.

Below this are 3 options.

I checked the second box and the third box.

john_hudson · July 14, 2019, 10:20pm

In System Settings>Removable Storage>Removable Devices do you have Enable automatic mounting of removable media checked?

Gps2010 · July 16, 2019, 5:43pm

Yes I have

Have not tried if this fixed the problem though.

Off topic:
Been busy trying to figure out, why my new pc does not boot with an Geforce GTX 750 in, but seems to work fine with an AMD 5700.

Gonna try a bios update for the new pc first.

mrmazda · July 16, 2019, 6:27pm

I have a GeForce made by EVGA with VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs, but there’s no way to tell what model it is. No matter what PC I put it in, it prevents POSTing.

Gps2010 · July 17, 2019, 1:48pm

I am very bad at throwing stuff away. Still have the original box of the vid card, so getting the part number was easy for me.

Already waiting about 5 days though, for an answer to a simple question. Does this card support eufi ?

Its possible my geforce is broken though, but it was working fine when I took it out the pc I am typing this with, using onboard video of the mobo now.

Read something though.

About a problem with GTX vid cards and Ryzen cpu.

https://community.amd.com/thread/228819

That is what I have.

Just got a response from AMD which I will post here:
[FONT=Times New Roman]Thank you for reporting your issue to us, we have had other similar reports and have reproduced it in our labs. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]We have narrowed down the problem to be a compatibility issue between new and old technology, the GTX 780 is over 5 years old. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]That being said, we were able to work around the bootup issue by setting the PCIe option in the motherboard BIOS to Gen 1. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]If you can access your motherboard BIOS and it supports this option, then this may be a feasible workaround for you. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]If not, then you may want to consider contacting Nvidia support for further assistance with your GTX 780 issue.
[/FONT]

I have a GTX 750 with 1 gig of ram, but exactly the same issue. Can’t even get into bios with the gtx in. No problem with an amd 5700.

Computers can be frustrating, I had installed windows 10 with the hd5700 in.
Then took out hd 5700 and put in the gtx, to install leap 15.1.
Only to find out new pc suddenly did not boot anymore.

Disconnecting both hard disk did not help, nor did a bios reset.
Now will go shopping to get an usb stick and do a bios update. Fingers crossed.

Need to install bios 1.8 first, then something amd all in 1. Then I can install latest bios.

Confirms my love hate relation with pc.
