Mint mounts cd in wrong directory

[symon1980]

Hi peoples, i've just migrated over from ubuntu gnome, to Mint Kde, and so far i'm lovin it. i think its much
more improved over ubuntu/kubuntu. However, i have noticed that when i chuck a cd or dvd in the drive, and check the
directory to which its mounted, it says that it is located in system:/media/hdb/ when it is suppose to be /media/cdrom0
so obviously i cant 'cd' into the location unless i go to /media/cdrom0
is this a bug? i have never had this before. And how do i fix it if its possible within my desktop, otherwise i guess i'll try to send the info
on to the linux mint guys to fix the bug.
cheers
sincerely
Symon:)

I have this line in fstab

Code: Select all

/dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0

Check that you have the same in fstab - it seems to me that you have /media/hdb for some odd reason
And there is a large reddish banner telling you

thats the output of my fstab file
does it look ok? :s

Your fstab looks ok
I did not notice the "system:" part of "system:/media/hdb/" before.
Where is this info found?

[symon1980]

ummm, im not sure what u mean. Im only intermediate at linux.... so in lamers terms?
this is a bit annoying to me, hehe. i know i don't have this problem in gnome, but i like kde much
better than gnome. i just wanna fix this problem. hehe:)
so what do u want me to do?

[symon1980]

bash: cd: system:/media/hdb/: No such file or directory

if that helps :s

it don't exist, apparently
i can still view my cd's in /media/cdrom even though it tells me its mounted at /media/hdb or wotever it was.
if i cd into the directory it auto mounts to, it don't exist. therefore, when i for example.... try to install games through cedega or wotever, it asks
me for disc 2 etc, and it don't recognise it, cause its mounted in the wrong directory, so i can't install the game
heh
this is a weird glitch

bash: cd: system:/media/hdb/: No such file or directory

I agree - there is no such file or directory in any Linux
You are doing something wrong - system should not be there at all
This is what I get
bash: cd: /media/hdb: No such file or directory
However if I do
cd /media/cdrom0
it works
You see hdb is a folder that should only exist under /dev

[symon1980]

kaddy@mint-desktop:~$ cd /dev/hdb
bash: cd: /dev/hdb: Not a directory

lol

argh. ahwell. i've been remounting it manually to where i want it, but it was definatley telling me it was mounted
in system:/media/hdb/
i've recently switched back to gnome anyways, kde does my head in sometimes. lol
gnome works perfect for me
symon.
thanx anyways guys.
