Hi folks,
I thought I would have a go at trying to get my PC to play DVDs this weekend so I done an apt-get install ogle-mmx ogle-gui then ran install-css.sh and linked /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc.
I am confused.... why is ogle unable to open /dev/dvd?
Have you checked the permissions? My Debian box says
adam@dylan:~$ ls -l /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 2002-03-14 21:51 /dev/hdc
So unless you are in the group disk it won't work, (and you don't want to be in the group disk either it isn't a very safe permission to have) you could try changing the permissions on /dev/hdc with something like chmod 666 /dev/hdc.
