access rights to dvd

[clauswilson]

xine gives the following error possibility:

The source can't be read.
Maybe you don't have enough rights or source contains no data. (Faulty disc or encrypted)

On this zepto laptop I have the problem - on my other kubuntu computers and laptops I don't. Is this something with udev?

Re: access rights to dvd

What tells:

ls -l /dev/dvd*

The problem could be that media players are looking /dev/dvd. If there are /dev/dvd1 or /dev/dvd2 or something else => "The source can't be read."

I did have same kind of error with the Hardy: Topic: Multimedia Problem: Maybe you don't have enough rights...(e.g: no disc in drive)

Earlier: Re: Can't install the DivX Codec . . .

Ugh, it apparently has "hda" linked to "dvd1", not "dvd"; ...

Re: access rights to dvd

I get this when I type ls -l /dev/dvd*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-06-07 11:37 /dev/dvd -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-06-07 11:37 /dev/dvdrw -> scd0

Now I installed the dvd codecs from automatix and now it plays the dvd!
