Your message makes it look like one need only just insert a CDROM:
# regionset
regionset version 0.1 -- reads/sets region code on DVD drives
ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"!
Ensure that there is any readable CD or DVD in the drive.
# mount /cdrom/
# df /cdrom/
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc                708576    708576         0 100% /cdrom
# regionset /cdrom/
regionset version 0.1 -- reads/sets region code on DVD drives
ERROR: Could not open disc "/cdrom/"!
Ensure that there is any readable CD or DVD in the drive.

I have a combo cdrom/dvd player, but no dvds on hand.

 Hello maintainers,

 i tried doing same as Dan Jacobson, and got same result.

 However, if i do "regionset /dev/sr0", then it works fine.

 I think this is because there is no /cdrom on my system.



 There is a /dev/cdrom though, and "regionset /dev/cdrom" works perfectly well.
