I have been burning a few CDs. When I inserted the blank CD I was queried what to set the default action as, and I selected 'Do Nothing'. The CDRom drive now does not attempt to read or mount anything inserted into it. It shows up in Nautilus under 'Computer', but does not appear to be mounted properly otherwise.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.
I'm using a software that needs to read data from a cdrom. The instructions say to mount the cdrom (mount /mnt/cdrom). I understand that I need to mount the cdrom to /mnt/cdrom. I created a folder "cdrom" under "mnt". Then I tried to mount the cdrom by typing:
sudo mount /media/ /mnt/cdrom/ This didn't work. Under "media" I have another folder with the actual cd content so I tried to mount it too, but again with no success. I keep getting an error that "media is not a block device". What I am doing wrong?
I have Ubuntu 9.10, the cdrom was mounting normally, suddenly it stopped mounting and now when I insert a CD/DVD nothing happens.
My fstab is like this:
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
When I run hwinfo --cdrom it says:
Code:
francisco@francisco-desktop:~$ hwinfo --cdrom
18: SCSI 300.0: 10602 CD-ROM (DVD)

My cdrom has stopped auto mounting. I had a cd that was CD-RW and I wanted to erase the data on it. I followed the guide at: [URL] and ran:
Code:
umount /dev/cdrom
cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast
After doing this, my cd drive stopped auto mounting.
I was looking for some film info and ended up at the Apple quicktime website. Clicked on the video preview option (expecting nothing to happen) and it played in a kaffeine window.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install WoW on my Ubuntu machine and I'm having trouble right off the hop. I'm using an install DVD thru wine and it says since the Installer.exe is hidden I need to remount my drive with the unhide option on.
I'm following this guide [URL]
This is the part of the guide I'm getting stuck at
Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option. To do this type in a terminal:
sudo umount /dev/cdrom
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/
The unmount part works just fine but when I go to remount the drive it gives me this error:
mount: mount point /media/cdrom0/ does not exist

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have successfully setup a FOG server to image my Windows clients, so I have tftp, pxe and anything else related to booting to a pxe server setup and rocking. What I'm trying to do now, is use the CentOS net install files to setup CentOS on an old server with no USB boot option, and a broken scsi cdrom drive (it's a Dell PowerEdge 2400, with a single PIII 733 and 1.25GB ram).
Using the FOG Projects gparted wiki entry (adding gparted to the pxe boot menu) I was actually successfully able to pull the net install files over to the PE, and install CentOS 5.5 via local ftp server. At first it kept erroring out (I kept picking and choosing individual packages from the package groups), so I thought it may be an issue with the GUI install (the python script kept spitting back errors forcing a reboot). In any case, I finally got through the GUI install, but now I need / want to know how to force a text mode install.
[Code]....
the bolded "append" line is where I thought I could force the text mode install script, but that didn't work. The vmlinuz and initrd.img files were both pulled form the net install iso, NOT the livecd. Would that have made a difference? If not, what / where / how should I force the text mode install script?

Soooo, the question is why are they being removed? Can /sys files carry the nosuid option?

I have a x64 OpenSUSE server with two hard drivers installed. The first one is used for the / and /home partitions and the other is for backups.

Does anyone know who I can repair the drive and retrive data?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool (NACT), because I was interested in adding some more entries in my right click context menu. I've downloaded and installed successfully several nautilus actions. However, I'd like to add a script in the right-clicked menu. I know that the easiest way is to put the script in the " ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts" directory, but I'd like to add it through NACT, because NACT can set script to appear only for certain type of file (for example only for folders). Also, through NACT I can add icon for the action, so that I can distinguish the action quickly.
The script is called "open file location" (download link: [URL]... The main problem is that I don't know which parameters to add, so that the command functions correctly. Can anybody make it function? I use Ubuntu 10.04 and NACT 2.30.2

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu desktop on my Acer Aspire One AOA150-1635 for over a year now in one form or another. I originally dual booted XP and Ubuntu Netbook Remix but decided against the remix when I did a clean install (over a year ago). All the issues I had then were the same issues others were having and have been fixed for a long time. I just recently upgraded to 10.10. I am unsure if this problem was present prior to the upgrade and I just hadn't run across it yet. I am also getting ready to upgrade my desktop and am afraid I will have the same issues.
It seems that certain windows don't fit on this desktop. For instance when I open Compiz config settings manager the bottom of the window is below the screen. When I try to click an option the window jumps and the same thing happens to the top. I can also click anywhere on the window to make this happen. I have included a couple pictures (taken with my camera please forgive the quality) to show you exactly what it is doing. It is getting rather annoying when I try to open one thing and the other right above or below it opens instead. I have to place my pointer in the spot where the item I am selecting will be after it jumps in order to open what I mean to open. When I right click it gives me options as if I was right clicking on the desktop background. The other issue which seems to be related is not being able to get to certain parts of longer windows such as Gnome color chooser. It seems to run off screen as well.
