DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

[Kdar]

I have two DVD-roms:
One DVD-RW
and other just DVD-rom...

Whenever I put DVD5 or DVD9 into DVD-RW drive.... everything works fine. Kaffeine or anyother play the movie..

But when I insert the DVD into my second drive (simple DVD-rom)..... DVD is not even recognized...
Linux not ever do this auto-run thing.. Where you have option to choose if you want to open DVD or play it with something.

BUT... Both drives play CDs... (music and such)

I don't know what can be wrong.

I used to have Kubuntu before and both drives worked fine... And like in Windows.. both DVD-roms work fine....

Maybe there some drivers or lib files I missing?

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

It might be a problem with your preferences. Try using /dev/hdc (master) and /dev/hdd (slave) in your dvd player's preferences.

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

You mean preferences in Linux?

or in Hardware? because hardware wise... one set to master and other to slave.

The weird thing is that I had Kubuntu 7.04 64bit installed (during like 19-20th).. And DVDs worked fine.

But when I installed Kubuntu 7.04 32bit... Only one DVD-RW works correctly.

A DVD burner at /dev/fd0 that's giving me the creeps

Could you please try to manually mount this device as follows:

sudo mount -v /dev/hda /media/cdrom0

In parallel, please show to us the current contents of /etc/fstab

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

Yeah, someone did a crap job for bringing over the devices and mount points with an upgrade to Feisty. I'd like to give them a good kick in the shins.
One other thread mentions the device for the floppy drive as just /dev/--no device specified.

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

I saw that phenomenon during the Herd 4 > Herd 5 > Beta upgrades. First mine was mounted at /proc/something, and then it "upgraded" to /dev/fd0, just like Kdar. But it worked fine, and I chose to leave it. One of the post-Beta upgrades actually put it back where it belongs, on my system anyway. Perhaps different hardware/interfaces were handled differently by the upgrades.

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

Is there any way to "fix" this? or.. not?

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

I have a similar problem except my dvd-rw will not mount when I stick a disk in it.

From system drives info: Lite-on dvdrw lw-411s (does not work with K3b burn or read with
disk)
optical disk ide dvd-rom 16x (works fine)

mount: /media/cdrom1 (lite-on)
/media/cdrom0 (optical disk)

/dev/hdc (lite on)
/dev/hdd (optical disk)

Anyone help on this?

If this were one of my machines, I'd "kill" (read: outcomment) the entry referring to /dev/fd0 from the file system table (/etc/fstab) and reboot ... no risk, no fun

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

I have a similar problem

Then, please, post the similar set of records, read: the relevant parts of /etc/fstab as well as, in your case, /etc/mtab ...

Yep: the entry for /dev/hdd contains the option "noauto" - meaning "do not mount automatically" ... go figure

Re: DVDs are not recognized on one of DVD-Rom

That is according to disk and file systems the rom which is working, and mounts when I stick a disk into it. No problem reading on that dvdrom. I can edit fstab but now I'm confuzed. What do you recommend. I would like to be able to burn with the dvd rw which is supposed to be hdc. With K3b under burn after i select a file (iso of feisty) the start button is greyed out and I can't select start (to burn). by the way disk and file systems auto is selected for both dvd devices.
