[Wine] Problem with automatic mounting of disc drive (Ubuntu 11.10)
Hi! First of all, WINE is great! There is only one little inconvenience for me: I am using WINE 1.2 under Ubuntu 11.10. It automatically mounts CDs and DVDs at /media/(disc name). So whenever I insert a new disc, I have to change the configuration of WINE which is a bit annoying. I could not find any help via Google. On ubuntuforum.org I was told to point WINE to the device itself (/dev/sr0) instead of the mount point, but that didn't work. Or at least, Baldur's Gate does not believe me that I have it's disc inserted. When I give WINE the mount point, then it runs fine. Since I got no more replies on ubuntuforum for some days now, I thought maybe someone here can help me.

RFS-81 wrote:> I opened winecfg, went to drives, added a drive D: mapped to /dev/sr0, opened the advanced options and selected CD.Wrong. You map drive to a mount directory, not to a device. To get mount directory see output of "mount" command, search for sr0 and pick the left most part.

I just checked the version number, it was 1.3.28 from the Software Center. Now I added the Wine repository and installed 1.3.37 and the graphic bugs are gone! I feel stupid now... [Rolling Eyes] Ok, but what can I do about my old problem? Is it possible to have dynamic mappings for the drives in Wine?
