Description Franz Holzinger 2018-11-16 22:52:54 CET
Description of problem:

I have bought a new DVD MDISC writer where the region code has not been set. When I use the command shell and type regionset, then it aborts with an error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert DVD into the DVD drive.
2. Open a command shell and type:

[root@localhost regionset]# sudo regionset /dev/sr1  
Current drive parameters for /dev/sr1:
  RPC Type: Phase II (Hardware)
  RPC Status: no region code set (bitmask=0xFF)
  Vendor may reset the RPC 4 times
  User is allowed change the region setting 5 times
Would you like to change the region setting for this drive? [y/n]: y
Enter the new region number for your drive [1..8]: 2 

3. This result is shown:
New RPC bitmask is 0xFD, ok? [y/n]: [root@localhost regionset]# 
You could not even press the 'y' button here.

However no regional code has been set.

Does this still valid in Mageia 7 or Cauldron ?
