I hope that this has been resolved in the newest edition of Mepis but I have
been unable to mount, unmount, and list the contents of the CD-Rom in version
2003-10-2.
To get it to the point where it will mount and list the items of a cd-rom I
created a new file with a text editor (I like kwrite). In any case I opened
it up and typed in:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=cdrom_unmount
Name[en_US]=Mount CD-Rom
Type=Application
Exec=sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom;konqueror file:/mnt/cdrom
But I can't open the drive door after I run it (I'm sure the reason for that
is that the drive is not umounted).
Now you would think that to get it to unmount the drive you would append the
above file with:
;sudo umount /dev/cdrom
but that just makes it so that konqueror opens file:/mnt/cdrom with no listing
but the cdrom will open.
And so I think that perhaps if I put it on a new line with Exec= in front of
it that it would work. It does not. The blinking icon appears where the
cursor is but disappears after some time.
So how is it done? How do you mount it, list it's contents, and unmount it in
one fatal swoop?
