Description Hein Hanssen 2005-10-14 07:38:32 UTC

After installation of SuSE linux 10.0 I did not have an icon for my dvd player,
nor for my dvd writer. The devices where not accessible (only root). In my case
(in I suppose that is the case in over 90 percent of the installations) I use my
machine as a desktop system. It does not make sense that I first must change the
access rights on my dvd and dvd recorder in order to be able to use them. For
newbies to Linux this is really a major problem (they do not know they must
change acces rights). It would be already great if you ask this during installation.

As the subject implies, this is a problem of the desktop, i.e. of KDE or GNOME, 
not of the installer.

What mean your DVD player/writer is not accessable? If you insert a DVD in the device you should get under KDE a dialog from the suseplugger and you can open the DVD in konqueror. Alternative you can access the media with konqueror under /media. 

You don't need to change any accessrights for the devices to access them as user. All hotplugable media (CD/DVD/USB-storage/Firewire-storage) is acessable by user defaultly. 

What is the concrete problem? I tested this with several IDE/SCSI/USB devices and can't produce such behavior as descriped.

As you wrote me this work after reinstall suseplugger, I close the bug. Not sure what happend, but you maybe clicked the first message away and set this type of messages to never show again.
