[SOLVED] CD mount problems

[14tjoyce]

I run Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic on an Acer Aspire 5810TZ and when i want to mount a cd i have to reboot the computer with the cd in the drive. and then as soon as i remove that cd i have to reboot again to mount another. is there anything i can do about this? thanks - Tom

Re: CD mount problems

that is strange ............when you insert a cd dose it not showup in the device notifier?

Re: CD mount problems

That should be mounted automatically once you inserted the CD.

Re: CD mount problems

I have almost the same issue. I've tried burning an ISO to dvd-r discs. With MS Vista it doesn't show anything in Windows Explorer, and with Kubuntu, I don't see an icon in Dolphin to show me what is one the disc(s) either. Also from the MS Vista side, it tells me the disk is write protected. Is there something that I need to do to a DVD-R before burning an ISO?

This is a HP Pavilion dv6835nr, dual booted Vista/Kubuntu.

Re: CD mount problems

It does not show up in the device notifier, it will not mount automatically and when i try to mount ie [sudo mount /dev/cdrom] the konsole just becomes unresponsive. and this computer also has windows 7 on it and windows 7 recognizes a cd almost immediately.

Does 'wodim -checkdrive' identify you cdrom?

Re: CD mount problems

When i have a cd mounted by rebooting with it in the outcome is :

Device was not specified. Trying to find an appropriate drive...
Detected CD-R drive: /dev/cdrw
Using /dev/cdrom of unknown capabilities
Device type : Removable CD-ROM
Version : 5
Response Format: 2
Capabilities :
Vendor_info : 'TSSTcorp'
Identification : 'CDDVDW TS-U633A '
Revision : 'AC01'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver (mmc_mdvd).
Driver flags : SWABAUDIO BURNFREE
Supported modes: PACKET SAO

Then when i open the drive and close it again it says :

Device was not specified. Trying to find an appropriate drive...
Detected CD-R drive: /dev/cdrw
Using /dev/cdrom of unknown capabilities

... and then stops.

and [sudo mount /dev/cdrw] goes unresponsive too.

Re: CD mount problems

We have similar drives. Here's my output:

Device was not specified. Trying to find an appropriate drive...
Detected CD-R drive: /dev/cdrw
Using /dev/cdrom of unknown capabilities
Device type  : Removable CD-ROM
Version    : 5

Try this command to see hardware location:

$ cdrecord -scanbus. It should look something like below:

scsibus1:
