Hey dudes!

 

How do I create a SYMLINK to my dvd-player so I can use OGLE to play my dvd movies in Xubuntu?

I just installed "Okle" and it says "Media/CDROM0 is a DVD but not a SYMLINK" so it will not play.

Hi,

 

Go into the directory were you want your symbolic link and type:

 



Code:
ln -s /path/to/dvd

ok so now for the hard work....how can I get the SYMLINK to be permanent.

Can anyone tell me howto do that?

I found something on Google, but that wasn't working for me.
