Get list of CD-ROM drives


I am attempting to get a list of all CD-ROM drives on a system from a C
application. I was advised in IRC to use libgdu. Attempting to do this,
I used

#include <gnome-disk-utility/gdu/gdu.h>

and get an error message that it is an unstable API. When the #define
line is added which it mentions, it then has a fatal error that
gdu/gdu-types.h cannot be found.

Am I #include-ing the wrong thing? Should I not be using libgdu for this
at all?

Thanks.

Re: Get list of CD-ROM drives

Hey Trevor


I don't know much about gdu, but I would recommend looking at the dbus. Usually there is a device connected here that can tell you such things.. And also give you callbacks when a CD is inserted :)

Why don't my apps that need g-s-d cause it to autostart?


Guys,

     In nearly all my other desktops (fluxbox, e16, e17, icewm, etc..) I have 
always started the gnome-settings-daemon independently as one of the startup 
programs for each of the desktops. It provides the gnome-screensaver and makes 
all the gtk apps look right.

     To my surprise, you can't start g-s-d anymore in opensuse 11.3 and have it 
provide the normal g-s-d services when it is launched as part of another desktop 
(fluxbox, e16, e17, icewm, etc..) -- Why Not??

    When I start gsd, a process is registered in the process table because I can 
see it with ps ax, but it doesn't do anything it is supposed to. GTK apps all 
look pitiful and no screensaver, no nada.... It looks like the g-s-d process 
just sits there and doesn't respond to any of the apps or desktop calls that 
need it services anymore. Up until opensuse 11.3, g-s-d was bulletproof.

	For example, as part of my fluxbox 'startup' config, I include the following:

## Make GTK apps look and behave how they were set up in the gnome config tools

if test -x /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon >/dev/null; then
   /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon &
fi

## start the Gnome clipboard manager
if which parcellite >/dev/null; then
     $(which parcellite) &
fi

Hi,

I'm setting Mail-Followup-To to the opensuse-gnome mailing list. It's
really not needed to cc three mailing lists for this...

gnome-settings-daemon has stopped starting gnome-screensaver because
there was no reason to not start it with the usual autostart mechanism.

You'd need to elaborate on the issues. I'm pretty sure that if g-s-d is

[PATCH] [girepository] Initialize globals in build_search_path_with_overrides().


Fixes problem when calling g_irepository_require(NULL, ...) as the
very first call from girepository library ignores GI_TYPELIB_PATH
setting.
