I am using 2.6.7 with udev, I plug in my usb dvd-rom drive the /dev/sr0 gets automatically created. Even though my normal user account is in cdrom group, it can't access sr0 properly (via /dev/dvd naturally) for watching dvds. (The libraries xine/mplayer/etc use for raw accessing dvd) I just scratched my head for almost couple hours before checking the most obvious.. Please check and tune the defaults accordingly if I am not the only one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in usb dvd-rom drive 2. Launch xine/mplayer Actual Results: Error messages about the dvd reading&decrypting libraries being unable to access the device /dev/dvd Expected Results: Played the dvd. bash-2.05b$ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X Xaw3d aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups curl dga doc dvd encode esd ethereal fbcon flash foomaticdb gd gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 guile imap imlib java jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcpd tetex tiff truetype unicode usb videos wmf wxwindows x86 xface xml2 xmms xv zlib"
What is the permission that is set on /dev/sr0?
As the new permissions seemed sticky and if I deleted the node at least the current scripts would give it proper rights, can't reproduce anymore.
