Audio CD not mounting

[sjhstorm]

Hi looking for some help please, when I insert and audio CD in the drive it does not mount (not showing in dolphin or amarok). However if I put a dvd into the drive it mounts and shows in Dolphin etc.

In K3b the audio cd does not show under /media/cdrom0, but you can select it as /dev/scd0

here is my fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda5
UUID=52a51150-47b6-4292-9ef2-3fb9b14dea2e / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda6
UUID=ab6b0e01-8133-49e6-9e0c-2f99a7439868 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

any idea's would be much appreciated

Re: Audio CD not mounting

Is this Amarok 1.4.10 ?

Does amarok start to play, if you type in the konsole:

amarok -cdplay /dev/cdrom0

Re: Audio CD not mounting

Thanks for the reply Rog131. Amorok is version 2 beta 2.

I tried what you suggested with no luck, in Amarok the option for play audio cd is greyed out, it appears to me that the drive is not mounting with and audio cd in, it should show as a mounted drive in Dolphin.

As I mentioned previously if I place a dvd in the drive it is mounted and shows in Dolphin.

Just for a matter of interest if you put and audio cd in you're drive does it show up in Dolphin?

thanks

Hmm - DVD's are shown (and mounted) in the "New Device Notifier" plasmoid but the Audio CD's are not.

Here the Amarok 1.4 is working and i can play Audio CD's with the Kaffeine.


Trying to mount Audio CD by hand:

sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

and dmesg | tail tells

[ 590.968298] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0
[ 590.968303] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1

Looking how it is done with the KDE 3.5 (gutsy) - there is a daemon running that offers mounting:

Re: Audio CD not mounting

Yes it's all a bit strange, I installed Kaffeine and yes it does mount and play audio cd's. I know Amarok 2 is beta, but it may be expecting the CD player to be pre mounted (that's why the option "play audio CD" is greyed out.

I would of thought that when media is placed in a drive it would automatically mount or at the least a dialogue box to give you the option.

Many thanks for you time

Re: Audio CD not mounting

I have the same problem. Audio CD's don't get mounted it seems:

$ dmesg
[...oldstuff (before cd was inserted)...]
[ 3564.266092] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
[ 3564.266101] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0

[ 3564.268380] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 4
[ 3564.268382] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1

But... K3b can read/rip it! So it must be somewhere.
When I start K3b from command line I can see it accesses '/dev/scd0'
So that's where I expected the CD to be. But it doesn't show in the 'device notifier' and doesn't want to be mounted.

$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
    missing codepage or helper program, or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so

Same if I try to mount '/dev/sr0' or '/media/cdrom'.

Re: Audio CD not mounting

This looks to be a bug in kde4, as the only apps that seem able to mount the CD with an audio CD are KDE3 apps, e.g Amarok 1.4 and K3B (both will be using kde 3 libs). KDE 4 apps Amarok 2 and Dolphin for instance cannot mount it.

I will check to see if a bug report has already been submitted.
