Playing CDs with FC3

When I put an audio CD into either my CD drive or DVD drive, gnome-cd appears and says 'Drive Error'. I also see that the CD icon appears on the desktop. I forget if that icon appeared in FC2. In either case, anyone else having this error message?

Indeed, I also experience problems when it comes down to burn CD's (tried it with xcdroast and k3b): obviously the CD/DVD-devices now belong to a logical volume group (??), which is only accessable by root on my system, this means both k3b or xcdroast wont find ANY CD/DVD-device on my machine, so im right at the moment back to floppies :-) Anyone knowing a hint or possible solution for this issue?

PS: I've never had to deal with Logical Volume Groups...may this the cause for the errors?

Works for me without any problems

Yes, in FC3 final ... logged in as normal user
While reading this thread, i insert an audio-cd in my drive and tried to get the shown error ... but the cd started playing the music...

also i've seen in this forum, that there are several questions about the "new" ftsab layout. (media vs. mnt).
Here is the fstab i'm working with:

Code:

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

/dev/fd0                /media/floppy           auto    pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Addon:
Tested CD-Burning -> works fine,too (i've downloaded the rescuecd.iso)

Edit2:
I've DISABLED SELINUX. My posted fstab differ from yours for media ( ... pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t, ... )
You might also have problems using floppy disks ...

I didn't get the logical volumes because the auto-partition didn't work on my system. I had to manually partition. So now I need to check to see if I can burn a CD? I disabled selinux on my system.

It is even remotely possible that SELinux is interferring with CD-Burning?

You should also make sure you have installed the update to udev. It fixes a disk access problem.

Install vs. Upgrade

I'm having the same problem...and I upgraded from FC2. Any of you folk out there ok after upgrading vs. installing fresh?

I did a fresh installation and having some issues for now.....but I will try to find solutions for it.

well I did these two things to make the CD play
(in root login)
1. ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
2. chmod +rw /dev/hdd

(/dev/hdd is my cdrom)

Great fix... you are the man! :p

The problem is that "fix" disappears on re-boot - udev wipes it out. The updated package fixes the /dev/cdrom and permissions issues.

I updated udev per suggestion - that fixed the problem. Thanks!
