10.10.CD

Asked by peter

Hello

I wonder where my CD is hidden. I don't have a file called /dev/cdrom nor /dev/scd0 nor something similar. I have the following structure in Nautilus:

bin
boot
cdrom (is empty)
dev
etc
home
lib
lost+found
media (contains the USB stick and floppy and floppy0)
mnt
opt
proc
root
sbin
selinux
srv
sys
tmp
user
var

Where are the cd's stored? Thanks in advance.
Peter

You need to mount the device, the automount is failing for some reason. Can you give the output of:

groups; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

just the cdrom device manually.just google to mount your drive
i think it should look like this
mount /dev/cdrom /mycdrom
or there might be some hack attached to it

btw, adding your user to the root group is a REALLY bad idea, it drastically reduces your system security
