Re: List of required packages.



Hi Weaver,

Check that the symlink /dev/dvd points to your DVD drive like this:

ls -l /dev/dvd

If you get:

ls: cannot access /dev/dvd: No such file or directory

then you either need to create the symlink, or specify the correct drive
in Xine preferences. You can find the drive like this:

dmesg | grep CD-ROM

which should output lines such as:

[    3.251679] scsi 1:0:1:0: CD-ROM _NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A  1.06 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[    3.254391] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
[    3.254576] sr 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0

indicating that the DVD device is at /dev/sr0 in this case.

Cheers!

Daniel
