Hello Gustin, I did what you suggested and did a chmod a+rx /dev/cdrom where cdrom is the device name for my DVD drive. After doing that I still get the same error message. I then put in an audio CD and the audio CD still works fine.
Thanks for the suggestion. It was worth a try anyway. regards, Michael Gustin Johnson wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > aptitude search libdvdread3 > > If the command returns a line starting with p, like this: > p libdvdread3 - Simple foundation for reading DVDs > > The p stands for purge, which means it is not installed.
