F8 CD-ROM wont automount

[Dubious Dave]

I can manually mount my cd-rom with
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/tempcd
but when I stick in a data disk it wont automount.

How do I get it working? Warning, I have disabled a number of services.


Thanks

Also, it will show an desktop icon for audio cds but wont play them. I've also noticed that no mount point is created in /media.

Okay, so everything works great when logged in as root.

The permissions of /dev/cdrom is root regardless of who's logged in. Shouldn't it change to whoever logs in so anyone can use it?

Nope:

On my system /dev/cdrom (symlink to sr0)

ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root disk 11, 0 2007-11-25 15:42 /dev/sr0

Sounds like a gnome issue. I have seen this couple of times on my box. It needed a reboot and worked fine.

Just for kicks, try "gnome-mount" and see what happens.

Nope, none of that worked. However, reinstalling from the DVD did fix it. That's the last time I use the Live CD.

It probably was a gnome/rpm md5sum checksum issue then.I have had unrelated gnome issues fixed by re-install on F8
