Trouble accessing dvd/cd drive

[Guest]

Been using 14.04 for a while. All o.k. except disc burning and music playing applications. None of them will access the dvd/cd drive in my desktop. It works o.k. when I boot it up in windows, but can't get it right in Kubuntu. Any suggestions?

Does your Kubuntu detect the cdrom - what is the command:

inxi -d

or the

sudo lshw -C disk

telling ?

Does the information seem to be correct ?

Is the 'KDE System Settings > Multimedia > Specify CD Device' info correct ?

What is the error messge if you launch the disc burning or music playing application from the konsole.


At here:

:~$ inxi -d
           Optical: /dev/sr0 model: N/A dev-links: cdrom
           Features: speed: 12x multisession: yes audio: yes dvd: yes rw: cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r,dvd-ram

:~$ sudo lshw -C disk

Thanks for the response. With a music CD in the drive, attempting to play it results in a message that the cd drive in not mountable.

Here is wat Konsole shows:

*-cdrom
description: DVD-RAM writer
product: DVD A DH16ABSH
vendor: ATAPI
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@2:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/cdrom
logical name: /dev/sr0

capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram
configuration: ansiversion=5 status=ready
*-medium
physical id: 0
logical name: /dev/cdrom

In system settings, it looks right.

I have a similar problem. I have two HD's one SCSI which the sytem is on and an IDE which is also the same cable as the DVD. The DVD worked for system install. I think Kubuntu 14.04 is falling to mount them. Dophine can't ssee the DVD and Say the secound HD is removable and cannot acess it says 0 bytes.

This dosn't make sence:

steve7233@steve7233-EP45-UD3P:~$ inxi -d

           Optical: No optical drives detected.

What happened to the code button? I had to type the code tags manually.
