Problems with a DVD

[Eldrin_lanister]

Ok guys i have Knoppix 3.4 running on my box. All works fine until i decide to install a dvd player.

I try to mount the device "mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd" but it prompts me this message

mount: block device /dev/dvd is write protected, mounting read-only
mount: No medium found

I know that the dev work fine because I when I boot in WinXp it works.

If anyone know what to do please let me know

Are you sure the mount point isn't /dvd? Even so it's probably a symbolic link to /cdrom. If not, then just create the link in /mnt.

BTW, if you are tying to play encrypted DVD's then you'll probably want to look at the instructions on how to do this at "How can I watch a DVD?" at http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqUsing

ok I try to what it says on the link but when i update the /etc/apt/sources.list:

* deb httphttp://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian $(ARCH)/
* deb-src httphttp://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian sources/

and run "synaptic" give me this message
"Couldn't stat source package list http://www.videolan.org i386/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/www.videolan.org_pub_videolan_debian_i386_Packages ) - stat (2 No such file or directory"

ok i manage to instal de vlc media player from videolan. but again the problem its that knoppix dosent know that i have a dvd atach to my box.

ok i run "ls -la /dev/dvd" and i discover that the system its pointing to the cdrom this is the output of the above command: lrwxrwxrwx 1root root 10 may 25 12:20 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cdrom
The system its poiting to the wrong device

So how i change that on my fstab??????????
