Description of problem: "Add/remove applications" (system-config-packages) cannot read cdrom in cdrom drive (it appears to look for cdrom in /mnt/cdrom instead of /media/cdrom) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC3. Test 3. (2.92). How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open system-config-packages (type root passwd) 2. choose an application to add (assuming there exists rpms which havnt been installed yet) 3. click 'update' Actual results: Cannot find relevant Fedora cdrom Expected results: Reads relevant Fedora cdrom Additional info: If contents of mounted cdrom (/media/cdrom) are copied to /mnt/cdrom system-config-packages can read the relevant rpms
Can you try the newer 1.2.19 package in the devel tree and see if it does better?
Version 1.2.19 works at 50%. I have 2 cd-drives on /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd. The first drive doesn´t work. If you leave /dev/hdd open and then click OK it closes the drive and it works. But if you close the drive yourself you have the same problem as with /dev/hdc
Installing the newer 1.2.19 package (from http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/system-config-packages/) enables my second drive (cdrw) to be read by system-config-packages assuming the cd is not already in the drive (/mounted) before it asks for disk x. [BTW I have 2 cd-drives: dvdrom and cdrw. The first (dvdrom) doesn't work with a number of gnome programs (Not just system-config-packages, Eg cd autoload function does not work nor have I ever managed to mount it so that its contents can be viewed). Anaconda and gnome CD read the first drive (dvdrom) fine. PS I do not understand about the devel tree because I am a relative newbie to linux]
Fixed for 1.2.20 (will be at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/system-config-packages/ once it builds)
Closing per comment #4 and lack of feedback. If it still doesn't work for you in FC4 please reopen.
