I compared       some things after running /usr/bin/xine-bugreport script. I discovered       that the newly upgraded desktop did not have a /dev/dvd entry. The optical       drive is /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom is linked to it. However, xine uses the       default /dev/dvd for accessing DVD's. The hint from xine-bugreport       script was to create a symbolic link to between sr0 (optical drive) and       dvd. The following resolved the issue. AS ROOT in the /dev directory I       entered "ln -s sr0 dvd" This created the missing dvd that xine was       looking for.        I hope this helps any others who find this issue after the latest       update of Tumbleweed.        The REAL underlying issue is why the update did not keep the       original /dev/dvd link (or recreate it) that my not-so-far non-upgraded       laptop has in /dev directory. It has several links to sr0 (linked to)       cdrom, cdromrw, cdrom**, and dvd in the /dev directory.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
