Roof Mount TV/DVD Issues

Guys,
We recently had two roof mount TV/DVD systems installed in our pediatric ambulances. The problem that we're having is that because it is so bumpy in the back of the amblance, that the screens are dropping down when not in use, and the tabs that are supposed to hold the screens up are snapping off. Any suggestions on how to secure them without making it look totally ghetto? We have explored the use of velcro, but are afraid that after much use, they will just start tearing the frames off of the TV. (IE: The velcro is stronger than the plastic).
The units are Pyle Audio PLRD175IF, 17" TV/DVD player
Thanks for any suggestions.

the screens should have come with a metal brackett for support. these bracketts are the backbone of the screen staying in place. looks like you need to have them secured properly to the top of the vehicle useing some type of speed clips or short bolts with lock washers. i'm not sure what type of screens you have but you should use universal top mount screens.

Mounting Oracle DVD's

Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would share an experience here, with the hope it helps someone.
This note is about mounting Oracle DVD's on HPUX 11.11, on a RP5470 Unix Server. In the past, we have used the pfs_mount command. pfs_mount has caused nothing but lots of trouble. As ridiculous as this sounds, reboots were sometimes required to get the DVD or CD to eject.
After some digging around, we have found that using the following command solved all our issues.
mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/rmt/<device_file> <mount_directory>
Hope this helps...Colin

Colin,
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Hussein

E17 on a fresh Arch Linux + gtk apps... auto mounting and other issues

hi all...
I have gone through the forums and found a similar but-not-quite-the-same thread about this, which is why I am posting a new thread - so, please excuse any redundancy/laziness.
As the topic says, I am making a new Arch Install, on my laptop that has/had arch+kdemod on it for quite some time now. I have now tarred that old install and put it on my desktop that has more RAM than this lappy. So I went with a minimalist approach - after googling for long, I managed to put together something that takes up about 350 MB RAM, when running the desktop, firefox, mplayer, openoffice, two or three terminals, and conky - which is all pretty good. But I am having some teething troubles in many issues, so any help in the following is most appreciated.
My set-up and the problems....
WM - e17, from the repos (I tried, but could not get the easy_e17 script to work properly)
FM - emelfm2
- I am not able to get my USBs, CDs, DVDs etc to mount automagically. I have HAL from the repos. This is my fstab.
/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
This setup gave me no trouble at all when using Arch-Kdemod. Now I have to be root to mount from the command line, and can not auto mount cd/dvd/USBs.
E17 file manager enabled is also no help.
browser - firefox, dillo
terminal - mrxvt
editor - leafpad
audio - mpd + sonata
video - gmplayer
sys monitor - conky
cd/dvd burner - recorder, from the repos
Openoffice, PSPP for statistics
Pidgin
Wengophone2
at the moment I am behind a proxy and haven't yet tried it, but can anyone confirm it is still working...?
epdfview
chmsee
rtorrent
feh, exhibit
dreamchess
That is the whole setup, in case it helps someone.
Thanks for reading, and waiting for suggestions about the auto mount issue.

hi all...
Thanks for the replies.
@fingel... That udev rules addition on the wiki gave me the jitters initially as it looked like I was hacking away at my systems innards, BUT, after trying everything else, including things mentioned here, nothing worked. So I finally did the udev thing, and now the USB is mounting fine.
However I still cannot get DVDs or CDs to mount. I am added to the optical group, and yet I have to click the mount icon in emelfm2 to be able to mount the CD or DVD - the only consolation is that I am able to mount it as normal user.
Any help there....? I haven't modified anything from the usual install, except for this udev thingy.
And, How can I make the mrxvt terminal show me more lines on scrolling up. Now it is allowing me to scroll up only by 10 lines or so, and I am having to pipe through less to be able to view anything meaningful in commands like yaourt -Ss

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

Mounting a dvd on Solaris 10

I am a linux user, not a Solaris user and I am running solaris 10 on a Blade 100. I want to mount a dvd but am unsure of how to mount it because of the difference between Solaris and Linux command lines. "mount cdrom" does not work. I am sure this is an easy answer to this question but I can't seem to get this DVD mounted.
Thanks,
Michael

Unless you've changed the system's configuration, mounting
CD/DVD media is supposed to happen automatically, with the
help of the "vold" daemon.
The CD/DVD will be mounted somewhere in /cdrom/xxxx with a
symbolic link /cdrom/cdrom0 pointing to the root directory of the
media.
If you've disabled "vold", of if you didn't install it, manual mounting
works like this:
1. iostat -En
This command can be used to print a list of SCSI/ATAPI/USB/
Firewire disk/cdrom/dvdrom devices. Note the disk id in front
of the entry, for example "c1t1d0":
% iostat -En
c1t1d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: HL-DT-ST Product: DVDRAM GMA-4020B Revision: A105 Serial No:
Size: 0.00GB <0 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 02. Manually mount the device, using the device id from the above
iostat command, with slice "s2" appended (on Solaris x86:
append "p0").
# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s2 /mnt

IMac G5 won't mount commercial DVDs

I have a 1-year old iMac G5 that suddenly stopped mounting commercial DVDs (e.g., movies). DVDs and CDs containing software programs mount fine, as do unformatted DVDs for burning. But not movie DVDs. My software is up to date, including latest security upgrades (so I'm kind of suspecting the latter as a possible cause for the problem). But have others seen this or worked out solutions?

Mine has done this on occasion.
After ejecting a few times/restarting, it works.
I can't get it to do it consistently though so I can't troubleshoot it.

Toshiba Satellite L3** CD/DVD issue !!! Here is my solution. How about you?

Hello everyone. Nowadays, I see on this forum people are discussing about the CD/DVD issues on L30/L300/L350. I would like to share my experience on this issue and hope everyone shares your experience as well.
My laptop are Toshiba L30 PSL33 and Toshiba L300 PSLB2E. I am lucky that I have no problem with CD/DVD discs/drives as I can read/write/play CD/DVD smoothly. However, I used to have some problems with CD/DVD drive on my notebook. Here is my experience.
1) Make sure there is no other CD/DVD softwares on your computer (except the orginal software from Toshiba). Especially to those who have been used to using Nero. If you have problems, try to remove Nero and test with the one supported by Windows
2) If you still have problems, try to update the firmware of the DVD drive. It can be done by visiting the Toshiba Support Driver site (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/). Check what drive you have by looking at the Device Manager. Download the newest firmware from there and update your drive.
3) My last solution. If you have Vista pre-installed, try to get a XP version on your computer and do not install any other software. Test/copy a CD by using windows writing tool to see whether the problem is solved or not.
In my opinion. the main reasons you may encournter are: there are CD/DVD drives have XP firmware base and need to be updated so that they can be used in Vista; or there are software like Nero and PowerDVD are causing the conflict between the ACPI controllers (real and simulated).
Hope this may help you all. If you have other experiences, please share with everyone.
PS: Please excuse my language as I am not an English speaker.

Hi anhchuong!
Thanks for this nice solution instructions. In future, this ways,s mentioned by you, should be checked first.
I really like this one!
Rock on dude! ;)

MacBook will not mount CDs but will mount & read DVDs

This MacBook is used mainly for surfing, email and word processing. Very few other programs are installed and/or used. Recently it stopped mounting and reading CD's. It continues to mount & read DVD's. When I insert a CD (commercial or home burned) the drives sounds like it is trying to read it and then after awhile it ejects the CD. I have other Macs & PC's which can read the rejected CDs.
All software is up-to-date and disk permissions are in good shape. AppleCare had me reset the PRAM. Would appreciate any other steps I can try to fix the situation. In several weeks, I will be traveling to a city with an authorized Apple repair unit where I can have the computer looked at. I'd rather fix it myself if possible

If your computer is covered by warranty or extended Applecare they will probably replace the drive.
In many cases, though, these sorts of problems can be simply overcome using a drive cleaning disc.
Certainly worth a try if you are out of warranty (Apple have said that they don't like cleaning discs in the past so you may not want to use one if you are still under warranty etc. I have personally used cleaning discs for many years in Apple slot load drives without the slightest problem however, and they have instantly "fixed" drives that would otherwise seem to be beyond redemption!).

New External DVD Issues

New Computer: HP Envy m6 Notebook PC
New External DVD Drive: LG SP60
System: Windows 8
Issue: I place a DVD movie into external drive and there is no "auto play" function and no queue for me to start or play the DVD movie.
I have properly installed the external drive. I have used the drive to install other items including my printer. So it is not a mechanical or core function issue with the drive.
I was "forced" to download Cyberlink Media Suite; however, there is no button or queue to click to watch the DVD in the drive. All items are related to burning a DVD.
I have tried several other DVDs that are in excellent condition on a totally separate device. So I know it is not a DVD issue.
In the "my computer" it shows that there is a movie but it also shows that there are 3 main files, all with additional subfiles. None look like they are "clickable" to play the movie.
I am searching for a simple one to two click process to play a DVD--not a process that requires several subscreen maneuvers.
Windows Media Player does not recognize the DVD movie either.
Help please . . . .

Hi,
I would not allow external USB devices to run Auto Play because virus can come in to play. For Windows 8, WMP is not a good product to play DVD. The DVD Player on CyberLink suite should play DVD's for you. You can also use a free product called vlc, which can play nearly all video formats.

Force mount nonexistent dvd drive

Hello all, So intro: The other day I pop in a dvd backup that has some files I need, now the dvd is not readable, no scratches or anything to the disk read surface. The dvd is just dead. So what I want to do is to force mount the dvd and make an image and then try and sort through the files if at all possible. What I would like to do is:
sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd -o force,ro
and possibly create an image or what I am most leaning towards is dumping the image to a file and then analyising it later:
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/home/x/dvdrec.iso conv=noerror
but doing so gives me an error
dd: opening '/dev/sr0': No medium found
and of course the force mounting results in an error saying no media was detected...
Is there anyway to trick fstab into thinking there is a medium mounted there (like there is)
I have searched around the net trying to find some way to recover the files but have had no success. So I was wondering if what I said above would be possible and would work at recovering my files. Any other suggestions on recovering my data? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Nope no error with the drive (at least I dont think so), it reads other dvds perfectly fine, and before it read the dvds that I am trying to get it to read, I always run a data verification check after burning a disk and they always pass, then I try them just to double check.... I havent had a chance to try it on another dvd drive but I have arranged to use my friends computer to see if it works with his computer, if it does then the my drive is gone.... on the other hand if it doesnt work who knows. Another thing is that I have some other dvds from the same set that are perfectly fine, partly corrupt, and fully unreadable. I dont mistreat my dvds and I can see the burnt in data in the disk, but my comp just cant read it. Im at a loss. Possibly defective media? but that wouldnt explain why it worked before....

Need drivers, Vista won't mount Leopard DVD

Somehow Parallels Desktop (or something) hosed the drivers on my BootCamp partition. Result: can't mount DVDs. Since the only solution for restoring the drivers is to insert the Leopard DVD, you can see my problem. I need drivers to mount the DVD and I need to mount the DVD to get the drivers!
Is there any way out of this vicious circle?

Use another Windows system to put the Drivers folder from the Leopard CD on a USB or FW storage device and then apply the drivers individually on your BootCamp Vista from the storage device. There is some information about this on page 24 of the BootCamp installation instructions.

Anyone know Disk Utility, Ignore Ownership, and disk image DL DVD issues?

I am currently having issues with backup DVD's I burned using Disk Utility. I can put the dual layer DVD's in and the system reads them. When I try to pull a file off the Dual Layer DVD a circle with an X appears notifying me that I cannot copy the files to my desk top.
When I check the DVD's permissions it reads Admin (me) read and write with the ignore ownership checkbox checked...which means I should be able to pull files off the DVD. The only way I can currently get information off the DVD is to duplicate the entire disk to a new folder by selecting the DVD while holding down the Cntrl key and selecting duplicate. I have had other issues with DVD's and disk images in Leopard....including having to eject either through disk utility or by selecting the image with the Cntrl key held down. Finder eject, keyboard eject, and the menu eject selections suddenly report that the disk is in use.
The DVD's were burned by creating a dual layer dvd image through disk utility with the read/write option checked.
After duplicating 2-3 disks, the system itself is unable to mount any more disks from the series of backups. When I look at disk utility it reads that the disk is not mountable. I have to restart my computer so the system can continue to read the backups.
My Itunes disk backups are marked the same way (ignore ownership) with admin read/write privlages....I have no problem pulling files off these disks.
I have tried both logging in as root and booting from an external drive...same problem. Is this some nasty Disk Utility bug? Is anyone else having bizarre permission related issues with Disk Utility and Disk Images.

When you create the image in Disk Utility, did you
change the 'Partitions' setting?
If you leave it to read 'CD/DVD', it will create a ISO9660/UDF image.
To be able to maintain permission and extended file attributes, you
need to select 'GUID Partition Map'.
I assume you used iTunes to create your music backup?
It seems it creates the correct image type for you.
Before sending this message, I actually created a single layer image,
copied some files to it and gave additional permissions to other users on my system.
Afterwards I copied the files to my Desktop, verifying that the attributes are still intact.
Best regards
(It took quite a while to burn this 4x DVD-RW Anyways, I hope I could help)

Error trying to mount the DVD to a network based ISO image in Windows 2008 Hyper-V RC0

Greetings,
When I try to configre the guest OS settings to mount the CD/DVD drive to an ISO image I have setting on a file share, I consistently get an error. The only time I have been able to mount an ISO since upgrading to RC0 (I don't remember if I tested this in the BETA) is when the ISO is locally on the Windows 2008 Hyper-V server.
To be specific, I get the following error:
Virtual Machine Connection (title of the window)
Inserting the disk failed.
Failed to add device 'Microsoft Virtual CD/DVD disk'.
User account does not have sufficient privelage to open attachment '\\remoteserver\share\ISONAME.ISO'.
Error: 'General access denied error'
'NEWGUESTOSNAME' failed to add device 'Microsoft Virtual CD/DVD Disk'. (VMID 26C8B66F-5D3F-47F9-9D80-474D0F778522)
'NEWGUESTOSNAME': User Account does not have sufficient privelage to open attachement '\\remoteserver\share\ISONAME.ISO'.
Error: 'General access denied error' (0x80070005). (VMID 26C8B66F-5D3F-47F9-9D80-474D0F778522)
I am not sure what credentials it is using. It looks almost like it is using the new computer name as credentials or something like that. The account I am logged in as at the time is a Domain Admin and has access to every server and every share. I can browse to the ISO just fine through the Hyper-V Insert Disk function, it just won't take.
I have checked the Hyper-V server settings and the Guest OS settings and can't find where to specifcy what account to use to connect to remote ISOs. Anyone have any clue on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the various replies.
Understood it is an issue with the Hyper-V server computer account getting the files, and not the actual guest OS. At this point I think I will just copy some ISO's to the server. I did note the last time I used a "local" ISO that I had to manually type out the local path to the files on the server, as when I tried to browse to the local server drives through the console I got an error about connecting to the local server (which wasn't really local) through the network drives. I don't remember the exact error, but I know I couldn't get it to point to the ISO on the D:\ drive through the browse feature, but rather I just typed out the path and it was fine. That too seems like a bit of a buy/annoyance as I should be able to browse files local to the Hyper-V server, and not have to type out the path.
I guess I would ask MSFT to consider changing the behavior of the console just a little before RTM if it is being run remotely against the Hyper-V server, versus locally on it, if the permissions being used to get to the remote files are going to be different depending. I.E. It is not intuitive that the same exact action in the same exact console would behave any differently when the console is run on the Hyper-V server versus remotely against the Hyper-V server. I.E. Add in a pop-up when remotely connected to the Hyper-V server to let the user know that some permissions may not proxy through (or whatever verbiage you want to use).
This will pop-up more and more as people like me try to deploy Hyper-V on Core servers, and they used Hyper-V on a normal Windows 2008 server previously.
Thanks!

Can't mount commercial dvds

Problem: I cannot mount any commercial dvd, but I was able to a couple of weeks ago, strange thing is that a home made copy of the same dvds just mounts fine, same with any data dvd/cd, also if I reboot the machine it will mount it but after a eject/load it will not. the odd part is that all of a sudden all of my linux systems in this machine behave the same except for the ms-os.
Info:
-old lg h44l dvd/cd burner in IDE port
-currently on arch 64 and KDE up to-date
-other OS in the machine:
-Ubuntu 11.10
-Kubuntu 11.10
-Arch in XBMC mode
-w7
Is this a hardware problem? could it be that the drive is been lock in some way? again w7 has no problem it seams mounting/playing, any info or pinpoint is much appreciated. thanks in advance.

You will need that to decrypt commercial DVD's if you don't or it was uninstalled since the last time you tried.
Edit: perhaps I read your question wrong but still checking for this library is something your should do: "pacman -Q libdvdcss" and see if it returns a result. If it returns "not found" then you don't have it installed.
Thank you for the response, yep that was one of my first suspected packages but is not the issue, I have the latest installed, "libdvdcss 1.2.11-1" I wonder if has any thing to do with mtab/fstab or the like, I wonder if my last update mess up things, I see consolekit and polkit-kde in the pacman.log...
