Description of problem: When inserting a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM into the drive the device does not mount the media and displays the following dialog boxes. The first is a blank box and has an OK button. The second says "Cannot mount volume" with "You are not privileged tio moun the volume 'CDROM'." If I open a command line an su to root then run the mount command then the device is mounted and I am able to use it as per normal. I am using GNOME nad have not tried for KDE. Also this was a FC4 Upgraded Personal Desktop installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Pop a CD in the device Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place CD-ROM in drive and wait for it to be automounted. 2. 3. Actual results: Error message and no mounted device Expected results: Mounted device which the user can then access. Additional info:
I have noticed that if it is a new installation this problem does not exists.
Clean out your /etc/fstab. Delete all lines with the managed option in it. Future versions of the hal package will do this during an upgrade.
I cleaned up /etc/fstab and removed all references to lines with managed option in there as per above but there are still some 'minor' issues which I get now. I have upgraded everything to the latest development 07 March (and rebooted the system) and I still get the same problem with the dialog boxes appearing. This only seems to happen if I click on the CDROM device in the 'Computer' folder on my dekstop. If I leave it and let the CD automount work then it mounts the CD as per normal. My /etc/fstab file at the moment : LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
This is a bit dated and not a gnome-media problem. Do you still see the same problem? Are you using FC6 now?
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there have not been any updates to the report since thirty (30) days or more since we requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release and can provide the information previously requested, please feel free to reopen the bug report. Thank you in advance.
