Mounting CD-ROM

I'm having trouble mounting my cd rom. I'm running a small tablet, so this is an external disk drive connected via usb. I've tried editing fstab to allow a cdrom device, only to discover that doing so conflicted with udev. I can mount usb drives and external HDD's, so I'm confused as to what the difference is with this... perhaps my user is not in the right group? I've added myself to optical, but nothing has changed.
Any help is appreciated.

I ran 'mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom' and it gave me an error asking for a filesystem. So I ran:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
This gave me the following:
mountd: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Here's teh dmesg | tail:

But i cannot mount the dvd as user i get following error message:
mount: only root can mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /mnt/dvd
I thought the options "user" allows all users to mount it?

when i try this as user i get following:
mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

IMP.: Solaris 8 can't mount Cdrom automatically

i have Sun V880 server. before when i put any cd in the CDROM, system can automatically mount the CD-ROM. but from today suddenly, system can't mount CD-ROM. System is solaris 8 . so what the problem and how to resolve it?

Are the device links there: /dev/rdsk/c0d0*, /dev/dsk/c0d0*
(should be symbolic links pointing to something like
../../devices/... ?
Are the real device nodes there under /devices? Something like
/devices/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4,1/ide@0/cmdk* (your exact device names
my be different)
If you run "format", does it list your harddisc in the initial
disc menu? (Press CTRL-D to leave format without selecting a disc)
If the /devices device nodes and the /dev symlinks are present,
what error do you get when you open a harddisc device, using
"dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 of=/dev/null count=1"
If the device nodes / dev links are missing, you may be able to
restore them by:
<pre>
mount -o remount,rw /          (mount the root filesystem "read/write")
drvconfig               (probe for hardware, build /devices tree)
disks                    (install symbolic links under /dev)
</pre>

Disks and peripherals not mounting

This morning I awoke to discover my iBook G5 had a stroke of sorts. My computer is no longer able to:
(1) mount 3 of 7 partitions
(2) mount CD-ROMs from the internal CD-ROM drive
(3) mount external drives, such as USB and FireWire drives
(4) connect to the Internet through AirPort
I have not yet had the opportunity to try connecting to the Internet through a cable. Basically, my computer can no longer communicate with anything outside itself. Fortunately, the OS is installed on a partition that is still operable.
Disk Utility can see the partitions, shows them as unmounted, but cannot do anything with them. It CAN unmount and re-mount a working partition. In the Terminal window, I can list the mounted partitions, but cannot list the unmounted ones (or any of the files on it, for that matter).
The OS 10.3.9 seems to be working fine, otherwise. Most of the data on the 3 unmountable partitions is backed up, and I can tolerate losing some of the newer stuff, but I do want to get the most recent version of my graduate thesis off a working partition before more goes wrong with the computer in general. There are about 20 pages of text I don't want to have to transcribe off paper copies or from memory (ugh!).
Of course, since the computer cannot recognize any of the drives, I won't be able to reinstall the OS (even if I had a complete set of the disks, which I don't anymore).
Considering the computer is 3 years old, and that the OS seems to be working fine otherwise, two people have suggested it's an issue with the motherboard. Could that be true? Can anything be done about it other than buying a new computer?
The only recent software changes were automatic updates to QuickTime 7.1.5 and iTunes 7.1 on March 6, 2007 although the computer was working perfectly fine last night.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Optical drive problems after upgrade to Tiger 10.4.10

I've just had my machine updated to Tiger 10.4.10 after having two new hard drives installed after a hard drive failure. I'm now having issues with burning data for backup purposes.
I can't burn anything with Mac OS Disc Burner utility, it doesn't seem to recognize blank disc's DVD's or CD's. It keeps telling me to load a disc when one is already in the drive.
System profiler recognizes CD-R's & DVD-R's when they are in the optical drive
I can burn with Toast Titanium ver 6.0.3 DVD's & CD's. The burned CD's will mount. The burned DVD's will not mount.
I have checked the burned DVD's in the optical drive of my iBook G4 Mac OS 10.3.9 and they mount on it fine.
Movie DVD's will mount & play. Software DVD's will mount and load applications.
I have cleaned the drive with a cleaning disc.
The Optical Drive was working fine before the upgrade, so what is the problem?
I can only assume two problems now!
1.) the optical drive has a physical malfunction
2.) there is a software issue between Tiger 10.4.10 & this optical drive (this is my favorite at the moment)
The upgrade was done by an Apple Authorised Service Provider they say there are no issues with Tiger & the optical drive.
So any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem. I bought my G5 with Panther OS on it a few years ago. The DVD drive functioned perfectly back then. Then I upgraded to Tiger this past year which caused the DVD drive to open later..that is, I'd have to hold down the eject button for a good 2 or 3 seconds before it would open or close. Previously it responded instantly. Now what happens more and more is it can't read DVD-ROM disks that it has burned. My imac G4 with Jaguar has no trouble reading the disks but Tiger 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 simply refuse to mount DVD ROM disks that it burned.
I'm trying to make a duplicate DVD of the offending disk on my single-processor G4 and then put THAT disk into the G5 so it can read the info. Hopefully that will be my work-around.
It's got to be a software issue and I keep hoping the Apple wiz kids will put out an update to remedy this. Something's fishy with the DVD drive programming.

Oracle 8.1.6(bundled CD) install problem (ld failed)

Hello...
I tried to install oracle 8.1.6 into server. But I failed 3 more times.
I don't know why. Please help me...
According to the Oracle's install guide, I
1) Added semaphore and shared memory info. to /etc/system
and
2) Install Intel Solaris 8 recommended patches.
3) Install Forte C/C++ compiler. ( I used gcc for install. After failure,
I cahanged compiler from gcc to Forete).
I have no problem for mounting CD-ROM. But
while copying and linking Oracle files, OUI gave me error messages such as " ld failed ..." .
So I tried do manually such like this, "# make -f ins_plsq.mk install" . But the result was the same.
Do you have any idea for this error?
Thsnks.

Ther is compatibility problem that happend with broken binaries
errno shouldn't show up with binary or library compiled against glibc 2.1+
You can use LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 (or 2.2.5) in the broken apps env
to work around this.

RH9 isn't certified for Oracle9i !!!
Note:201370.1
LINUX: Quick Start Guide - 9.2.0 RDBMS Installation
Quick Start Guide Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0) RDBMS Installation Linux Operating System PURPOSE ======= This document is designed to be a quick reference that can be used when installing Oracle 9.2.0 on the Linux platform. It is NOT designed to take the place of the Installation Guide. It is recommended that users READ the installation guide. Instructions to locate that document are contained in Appendix A. A familiarity with the Linux Operating System is assumed. If Installation guide information is needed, please see the Appendix A at the bottom of this document for additional resources. Each step should be done in the order that it is listed. These steps are the bare minimum that is necessary for a typical install of the Oracle9i RDBMS. Verification of Version Certification: ====================================== Currently, Oracle 9.2.0 is certified ONLY on the following Intel Based Server Linux distributions: - Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 - Suse SLES7, SLES8 - United Linux 1.0 For the latest certification and other related information, use the "Certify & Availability" link in Metalink. Installations on distributions and versions not listed in the Certify link is not supported. Pre-requisite Requirements for System Administrator: ==================================================== The following steps are required to verify your operating system meets minimum requirements for installation, and should be performed by the root user. For assistance with system administration issues, please contact your system administrator or operating system vendor. Use these steps to manually check the operating system requirements before attempting to install Oracle RDBMS software, or you may choose to use the convenient "Unix InstallPrep script" which automates these checks for you. For more information about the script, including download information, please review the following article: Note:189256.1 UNIX: Script to Verify Installation Requirements for Oracle 9.x version of RDBMS Users must have /bin/utils installed for the operating system. This is part of the developers option on RedHat Advanced Server 2.1. The Following Steps Need to be Performed by the Root User: 1. Configure System Resources: Ensure that the system has at least the following resources: ? 400 MB in /tmp * ? 512 MB of Physical Memory (RAM) ? Three times the amount of Physical Memory for Swap space (unless the system exceeds 1 GB of Physical Memory, where two times the amount of Physical Memory for Swap space is sufficient) * You may also redirect /tmp by setting the TEMP environment variable. This is only recommended in rare circumstances where /tmp cannot be expanded to meet free space requirements. 2. Create a Software Owner and Group: Create a Unix user and group that will own the Oracle software. (Typically user = oracle, group = dba) You may use a GUI tool for this if your distirbution provides one, or the 'useradd' and 'groupadd' command line utilities. Please make sure the user and group you use are defined in the local /etc/passwd and /etc/group files rather than resolved via a network service such as NIS. 3. Create a Software Mount Point and DataFile Mount Points: Create a mount point for the Oracle software installation (at least 2.5 GB, typically /u01) Create a second, third and fourth mount point for the database files, control files, and log files to be created (typically /u02, /u03, /u04). ? The oracle user should own these mount points and all of the directories below the mount point. 4. Test the Permissions: Ensure that the oracle user can write to the new mount points ? As a test, change directories to each of the new mount point directories as the oracle user and create a file or directory. Example: % touch /u01/test 5. Configure Kernel Resources: The following kernel parameters related to shared memory and semaphores will require tuning: SHMMAX = 2147483648 SHMMIN = 1 SHMMNI = 100 SEMMNS = 1000 SEMMSL = 250 SEMMNI = 100 SEMOPM = 100 6.On Linux kernel parameters can be set dynamically or can be written in a shell script to be set at boot time. Kernel parameters should be set as the root user. They are set as follows 1. cd /proc/sys/kernel 2. Modify the parameter values by using the following command syntax: a. # echo 100 32000 100 100 > sem This sets SEMMSL, SEMMNS, SEMOPM, SEMMNI b. # echo 2147483648 > shmmax c. # echo 1 > shmmin d. # echo 100 > shmmni ================================================================================ These changes are NOT persistent and must be re-set after each re-boot. On RedHat Advanced Server 2.1, these parameters can be entered into the file /etc/sysctl.conf. This parameters in this file are set each time the system is booted. Example: $ more /etc/sysctl.conf # Disables packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 # Enables source route verification net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 # Disables the magic-sysrq key kernel.sysrq = 0 kernel.shmmax=256000000 kernel.shmmin=1 kernel.shmmni=100 kernel.sem= 250 32000 32 128 7. Mount CD-ROM: Depending on your Linux distribution the cdrom device is typically either "/cdrom" or "/mnt/cdrom". Please substitute the appropriate value when "<cdrom>" appears in the examples. # mount <cdrom> Installs can be done from either the CD or by copying the contents of each CD?s to a stage area on the local disk (/stage/Disk1, /stage/Disk2, /stage/DiskN) 8.This is required to run as root: /tmp/orainstRoot.sh First question of oracle installation. If no other versions of Oracle 8i or 9i have been installed before. You will be ask to run /tmp/orainstRoot.sh to create the oraInventory location pointer. Usually found in /etc on Linux Files that are located in /etc are /etc/oratab and /etc/oraInst.loc Installation Steps for the Oracle User ======================================= The Following Steps need to be performed by the Oracle User: This can be done from either a Telnet or an SSH connection. It is NOT recommended to perform installations from a su ? oracle connection. 1. Set Environment Variables Environment variables should be set in the login script for the oracle user. If the oracle user's default shell is the C-shell (/usr/bin/csh), then the login script will be named ".login". If the oracle user's default shell is the Bourne-shell (/usr/bin/bsh) or the Korn-shell (/usr/bin/sh or /usr/bin/ksh), then the login script will be named ".profile". In either case, the login script will be located in the oracle user's home directory ($HOME). The examples below assume that your software mount point is /u01. Parameter Value ----------- ------ ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0 ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle PATH /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin: /usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin/X11/:/usr/local/bin and any other items you require in your PATH ORA_NLS33 $ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data ORACLE_SID Set this to what you will call your database instance. (4 - 8 characters in length) If you are not on the console, you may need to set the following DISPLAY <ip-address>:0.0 (review Note:153960.1 for detailed information) ENSURE THAT CLASS_PATH IS NOT SET IN THE ENVIRONMENT 2. Set the umask: Set the oracle user's umask to "022" in you ".profile" or ".login" file. Example: umask 022 3. Verify the Environment Log off and log on as the oracle user to ensure all environment variables are set correctly. Use the following command to view them: % env | more Before attempting to run the Oracle Universal Installer, verify that you can successfully run the following command: % /usr/bin/X11/xclock If this does not display a clock on your display screen, please review the following article: Note:153960.1 FAQ: X Server testing and troubleshooting 4. Start the Oracle Universal Installer and install the RDBMS software: Use the following commands to start the installer: % cd /tmp % /cdrom/runInstaller Or cd to /stage/Disk1 and run ./runInstaller Respond to the installer prompts as shown below: ? When prompted for whether orainstRoot.sh has been run by root, enter "y". This should have been done in Pre-Installation step 8 above. ? At the "Welcome Screen", click Next. ? If prompted, enter the directory to use for the "Inventory Location". This can be any directory, but is usually not under ORACLE_HOME because the oraInventory is shared with all Oracle products on the system. ? If prompted, enter the "UNIX Group Name" for the oracle user (dba). ? At the "File Locations Screen", verify the Destination listed is your ORACLE_HOME directory. Also enter a NAME to identify this ORACLE_HOME. The NAME can be anything, but is typically "DataServer" and the first three digits of the version. For example: "DataServer920" ? At the "Available Products Screen", choose Oracle9i Database, then click Next. ? At the "Installation Types Screen", choose Enterprise Edition, then click Next. ? If prompted, click Next at the "Component Locations Screen" to accept the default directories. ? At the "Database Configuration Screen", choose the the configuration based on how you plan to use the database, then click Next. ? If prompted, click Next at the "Privileged Operating System Groups Screen" to accept the default values (your current OS primary group). ? If prompted, enter the Global Database Name in the format "ORACLE_SID.hostname" at the "Database Identification Screen". For example: "TEST.LNXhost". The SID entry should be filled in with the value of ORACLE_SID. Click Next. ? If prompted, enter the directory where you would like to put datafiles at the "Database File Location Screen". Click Next. ? If prompted, select "Use the default character set" (WE8ISO8859P1) at the "Database Character Set Screen". Click Next. ? At the "Summary Screen", review your choices, then click Install. The install will begin. Follow instructions regarding running "root.sh" and any other prompts. When completed, the install will have created a default database, configured a Listener, and started both for you.

Can you see to that and guide me what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance,
Sailesh K

Hello Sailesh,
The SQL error 942 error occurs when an object that does not exist is
referenced.
R3load creates views on several tables and fails creating
"APPL_FUGRG" because one of the tables referencing is missing
on db-level.
This is most probably due to an error which happened during the
import/load of tables before. It might also be that some load
processes are missing completely.
There may be some corruption of the export files, e.g. when NFS mounted
filesystems or wrong mounted CD-ROMs used
Another reason could be that SAPINST was restarted when there were still
some R3load processes running (Note 454368).
Please check for existence of "bck" files in the same directory
where the SAPVIEW log is (files like SAPVIEW.TSK.bck).
If there is, please retry the load with R3load, by adding the
command -merge_bck according to Note 455195.
Hope this helps,
Dolores

Silent Install using ResponseFile for Windows XP

Hi,
Does anyone know or have any custom responseFile that works? I have tried many times to do a custom install using the clientcustom.rsp from the CD and also from record mode but not all components seems to install correctly eventhough the log said it installed successfully. Especially the Oracle Universal Installer component.
please help
thanks

Here is a copy of a customclient.rsp file that I used to successfully install/uninstall Oracle 9i Client. Please note that the problem I have is determining when the silent install finishes. The install gets launched as a background task.

Automating Oracle 9i installation

Hello all,
I'm struggling to get my Oracle 9i installation automated. I need to configure Net Service Name Configuration as well during installation.
Problem is, when I try to start client installation with folllowing command:
setup.exe -responseFile "c:\custom.rsp" -silent
nothing happens. When I browse to open most recent silentInstall log file from C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs folder, it has following information on it:
silentInstall2010-09-09_10-09-25AM.log
Unable to find disk 3. Installation cannot continue.
Why it asks for Disc 3? I have Disc1 and Disc2 two folders and I can install this interactively just fine.
Million thanks for your help.

Hi Anand,
Yes, DISK3 was mentioned in custom.rsp file LOCATION_FOR_DISK section. See below. OracleSetup folder contains folders Disc1 and Disc2.
# Name : LOCATION_FOR_DISK<disk number>

# Valid values : full path to the root of the CD corresponding to the disk
# number indicated.
# Default value : None
# Mandatory : Yes
LOCATION_FOR_DISK2="C:\OracleSetup"
LOCATION_FOR_DISK3="C:\OracleSetup"

Xfce 4.4 - black or no desktop at all after logout

I have this quite annoying problem with my xfce - after logout starting xfce takes more time and when it finishes I see black screen without icons and wallpaper, but panel, taskbar are loaded correctly. checking 'Allow xfce to manage your desktop' option brings no result - I noticed that deleting .cache and .config helps...but not always. Could U help me?

I don't know if this issue is related or not, but I'll post it. I'm running a fresh install of "duke" with xfce4
everything was working well. I wanted my desktop icons to remain in a certain order (I didn't want the mounted cd-rom icon at the top of the screen.) so, I went into the xfce settings manager thinking that there would be a setting under desktop preferences. Well I played with the desktop icons drop down menu and now I get this when I try to start xfdesktop:
(xfdesktop:5747): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Bitstream Vera Sans Not-Rotated 0'
Segmentation fault
I'm not sure where to begin. I've already tried updating pango, gtk, and my bitstream fonts.
UPDATE
removing: ttf-bitstream-vera & ttf-freefonts brings back xfdesktop, but it looks crappy.

Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

Greetings, all.
Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:
# mount -F nfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
nfs mount: x.x.x.x: : RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retrying: /mnt
# mount -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount x.x.x.x:/f
# mount -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/F /mnt
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount x.x.x.x:/F
[FYI: S10_106_SOFTWARE is the DVD's label as reported by Windows Explorer.]

mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount x.x.x.x:/F/S10_106_SOFTWARE
I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
There are two ways to do this:
Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

How to mount a CD-ROM as write protected Read only

Hello,
I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version.
What I want to do is the following:
1. Burn a .cdr image onto CD-R
2. Go To Terminal and Locate the optical medium drive
I forgot what the command is.
3. As the CD-R is recognized as a CD-ROM or in UDF format, I want to
perform the following command using hdiutil.
4. Have it mounted as write protected and read only from the optical medium drive.
5. The next step is to use the same commands, save it as a bash file scripting file, and have it burned onto another CD-R or DVD-R.
If anybody can understand what I'm talking about, please help me do so.
Thanks for your responses in advance.
JohnDB3975

I am trying to be as clear as I can since I have a communication impediment.
Should I use the hdiutil or the mount command in order to perform that task?
