Recently I installed Ogle video player on Suse10.0,

Ogle failed to start, printing several messages, I remember on
previous installations that it is due to the file /etc/fstab which

/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
(assuming /dev/hda1 is used for windows partition);but it lacks
something for the cdrom which should be mounted on /mnt/cdrom;
I suppose this is why dvd cannot be read.
Do you have separate DVD-ROM and a recorder? If not, /dev/cdrecorder
and your DVD reader are the same device. A solution might be as simple
as putting a symlink /dev/cdrom pointing to /dev/cdrecorder then.
You might of course add a separate entry. I don't have a recent SuSE
around, but on Debian this would look like this:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
or /dev/hdc (or similar) instead of /dev/cdrom
On older RedHat things are very similar.
No, DVD-ROM and cdrom are the same; however I have two file descriptor /dev/cdrecorder
and /dev/cdrom, so why not two entries, but your answer seems logical; this happens on my
laptop ACER TM660; by comparison on my laptop Ferrari4000 i'm working with a
Mandriva2006 and I have one entry too:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto
umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
Unfortunately I modified this file, adding wrong
parameters and since
this time I cannot open any session on KDE or GNOME: when entering
user name and passwd on KDE I have the messages: 'could not start
kstartupconfig' and after I have 'could not start kdeinit'.
?? sounds *very* strange.
Well I'm not sure the source of this problem comes from modification in fstab,
obviously I have modified something in the system who generate this behaviour but what???
