Mount an audio CD in HPUX 11

[Gram Ludlow]

I can't seem to find a way to mount an audio CD in HPUX 11.

I'm on a C240 with an external CD-ROM. Most CDs mount fine with mount, but when I try to mount an audio CD, I get:
/dev/dsk/c1t4d0: unrecognized file system

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know there should be a simple way to do this.

I use xmcd http://www.ibiblio.org/tkan/xmcd/config.html
no problems and I think the latest workstations owners guides advise customers to do the same with the caveat that it's not officially supported by HP (at least not yet )

I installed XMCD, but had some problems with it. It kept saying it was unable to find a device config file...

maybe I should give it another shot.

I'd still like to know if there is a way to mount an audio CD.

Why didn't you say so ;)

Since I'm fairly confident I was seeing similar problems here in the UK Response .errors in syslog.log too ?
Centre could you to try the following :

Edit your xmcd device config file

/usr/lib/X11/xmcd/config/c0t0d0 ?

set the following parametres :

curposFormat - If it's False, set it to True, or vice versa.

Check that the volumeControlSupport, balanceControlSupport and channelRouteSupport parameters to see if they are set to True. If not, change them, restart xmcd and test.

If you still get error messages when you use these features, try changing the modeSenseSetDBD parameter. If it's False, set it to True, or vice versa. Restart xmcd and test.

If you still can't get it to work, then it's likely that your drive simply does not implement these features.

You should set the volumeControlSupport, balanceControlSupport or channelRouteSupport parameters to False as appropriate.

Restart xmcd and test.

I can attach myworking config file for reference tomorrow if you'll still having problems but h/W are you usings w/s and CD ?

If this fails I suggest you run xmcd with the debug option and send the file together with a problem description to the bug/defect links off the xmcd web site
you downloaded the binaries/code from.

You don't need to mount(1m) audio CDs (on
HP-UX, anyway). You just stick the CD in the
drive and run the CD player application. xmcd
works fine.
