Tiny Core Base > CorePlus

cdrom not detecte

(1/3) > >>

T-one:
Hi all,
I have managed to install tinycore on the harddrive of my first laptop. So far things come along quite nice.
I have never used busybox before and would like to give it a try. I'm unable to use my cd drive, can't find it in the file system.
How can I get hardware information in BusyBox? eg lshw?
I had installed from USB disk and never payed attention to the CDROM. It spins when I put a disk in.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this?

Click on the  Mount  icon (looks like a hardrive). When the mount app pops up, try clicking on  sr0  to mount the CD. It should
then be accessible through  /mnt/sr0.

Click on the  Apps  icon and install  lshw.tcz.  You might also find  pci-utils.tcz  and  usbutils.tcz  of interest.

If you want to see what  busybox  provides, enter  busybox  at the command line.

I had tried to mount the drive with no cd in it.  I'm migrating from Windows  ;D

But still not out of the woods.

--- Code: (bash
) ---tc@box:~$ eject /mnt/sr0
eject: /mnt/sr0: Inappropriate ioctl for device

--- End code ---

I can view the directories but cannot load the files in VLC etc.
VLC and Brasero report similar errors and make references to log files.


--- Code: (bash) ---cd /var/log
total 4
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Aug 11 19:39 autologin
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     staff         2304 Aug 11 19:45 wtmp

--- End code ---


Not helpful.  What is staff? it's not a directory? 
Where would extensions put their log files?

Also, how can I assign a file type to  a program, eg video --> VLC  ,  png --> xzvg etc.

Regards,

You can't mount it without a CD in it.

Try:

Hi Rich, thanks for your reply,
eject  /dev/sr0  worked.
However, it locks up the CD drive.  After inserting a new disc, I'm unable to remove the disc.  Pushing the button on the caddy does nothing either.
Rebooting will let me mount the drive once again. But.....


--- Code: (bash) ---tc@box:~$ eject /dev/sr0
tc@box:~$ mount /mnt/sr0
mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /mnt/sr0 failed: Input/output error
tc@box:~$ mount /mnt/sr0
mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /mnt/sr0 failed: Input/output error
tc@box:~$ umount sr0
umount: can't unmount sr0: Operation not permitted
tc@box:~$ umount /dev/sr0
umount: can't unmount /dev/sr0: Operation not permitted
tc@box:~$ sudo umount /mnt/sr0
umount: can't unmount /mnt/sr0: Invalid argument

--- End code ---
regards
