[gentoo-user] reading data cd/dvd

[gentoo-user] reading data cd/dvd

[allan gottlieb]

All my machines run gentoo / systemd / gnome3

On my older laptop when I plug in a data cd I get a popup suggesting
that I open it with files.  All is well

On my newer laptop the disk spins up but no popup appears.
What must I configure?

On the old machine there is a directory /run/media/ with a subdirectory
gottlieb.  The data cd is mounted there.  Looking at df gives
/dev/sr0        286490   286490      0 100% /run/media/gottlieb/COD3E

The new machine does not even have /dev/sr0.

Am I missing a kernel option

I have the following in scsi device support.

My note from recently installing Gentoo on a newly built machine :
"for DVD drive, use BLK_DEV_SR to create /dev/sr0 ".
Use 'make menuconfig' + search to find that string, then set the option.

BTW I try to do things as simply as possible :
using Fluxbox + Openrc, I mount  /dev/sr0  on  /mnt/dvd  (as root),
then (as user) 'cd /mnt/dvd' & use Most/Mupdf/Feh/etc to look at the files.
Quick, effective, foolproof ... (smile)

That's the "SCSI CDROM support" he already has.

Add the device(s) to fstab like so:

/dev/cdrom              /cdrom  auto            noauto,ro,user,users    0 0
/dev/dvd                /dvd    auto            noauto,ro,user,users    0 0

if you have udev setting those symlinks, else use /dev/sr* instead.

But what I think is missing is some feature of the desktop, aka
"device actions", possibly sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility and some
digging in the gnome-config. I do not use gnome.

  In my /etc/fstab, I have...

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom  iso9660  noauto,users,ro          0 0
/dev/sr0                /mnt/dvd    auto     noauto,users,ro          0 0

...to handle the 2 devices on my system.  The corresponding lines will
probably be different on your system.  The advantage is that I can mount
and umount as a regular user.  BTW, I run ICEWM.

He doesn't have /dev/sr0 so no amount of fstab or automounter fiddling
will mount a CD that isn't there. This appears to be a missing kernel
option.

Is this a built in optical drive or a USB one?

That was my thought as well.

Interesting question.
The old (successful) laptop has a built in optical drive
The new (unsuccessful) laptop has a USB optical drive
*However* My desktop machine (not mentioned previously)
   has a built in optical and has the same problem as
   the new laptop

Thank you all

Hm. Neil, you're right. From the OP though:

      <*> SCSI CDROM support

which is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR which is sr_mod which provides /dev/sr*. So
he has sr_mod built into the kernel. No module to load. Should not
compile without the requires. Hm. Maybe a missing chipset-driver like
pata_atiixp as I use?

Or systemd-udev etc. is hiccupping, so the kernel (sr_mod) provides
the dev "per se" but there's no /dev/sr* device-node created, so let's
start at the "bottom" and have a look at dmesg and some stuff ...

@allan gottlieb:

- how is that drive connected?

- Please mail the outputs of

    lsmod

    lspci

    lsscsi | grep -E 'cd|process'

    hwinfo --cdrom

(the latter is from sys-apps/hwinfo) all run as root.

Oh, and please also paste the output of

    zgrep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /proc/config.gz
or
    grep  -F -e ATA -e SCSI /boot/config-`uname -r`
or
    grep  -F -e ATA -e SCSI /usr/src/linux/.config

whatever matches your kernel best ;)

And capture the output of 'dmesg' for pasting to e.g. pastebin.org[0],
or better e.g. just the output of

    dmesg | grep -Ei 'ata|sr|scd|scsi'

and/or mail the complete dmesg output just via PM to me (or Neil??) to
filter out and quote what's relevant (there might be stuff related not
captured by the 'grep -Ei'), no need to blast all that over the 'net.

-dnh

[0] has gentoo.org a "paste" service for such stuff? (I'm just lazy)

GACK the lack of /dev/sr0 is spurious.  At the point I looked
the (usb) drive was not plugged in.  When plugged in we have

brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Nov 11 14:55 /dev/sr0

Very sorry about that.

What is true is that when I insert a known good disk in the drive I do
*not* get a media subdirectory of /run.  With the old laptop with a
built-in drive with the same cdrom media I have /run/media/gottlieb
and a subdirectory of that directory has the contents of the drive.

All the following are on the new laptop with the drive installed via usb
and the known good media inserted

I put the entire dmesg output on my nyu website
http://cs.nyu.edu/~gottlieb/dmesg

thanks to all for your help and again sorry about looking for /dev/sr0
when the drive was not plugged in.
