Greetings,
I have an alienware, sentia, 1700mhz, 1-gig ram, 80-gig hd, wifi, laptop. I've recently discovered the world of KUbuntu and am enjoying everything except for my DVD-rom that seems to NOT want to work.
I'm at a loss and would like to start over from the beginning, in attempting to get my drive to work. I would like any suggestions. I'm not even sure my /ETC/FSTAB file is accurate anymore...
And to be honest, I'm beginning to doubt that my drive is actually working anymore...but I want to ensure that kubuntu is 100% set up accurately first.
quetsion 1 - is there a way to force a hardware rescan?
my fstab:
tom@tardis:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
I'm not even sure /dev/hdd is the accurate spot anymore... any thoughts?
