Hello for some reason Kubuntu has my dvd drive as a read only and i was wondering how to change it to write also. -Edited

Re: DvD drive not detected was detected in Ubuntu

I'm a bit confused. Your title says not detected, but then you go on to say it is detected as your lshw output confirms.

It shouldn't be in your fstab, that's normal.

Does the drive respond to anything? For example "eject /dev/sr0" or "eject -t /dev/sr0" ?

When you put in a disk, is there any output in dmesg?

Wow I am overtired it seems it is detected as you state but for some reason k3b is saying its a read only drive how do i make it so i can also write? Sorry about that :-X

Re: DvD drive Read only [MOVED]

Are you sure the drive is +R/+W (read/write)? If it is, are you using a non-writable cdrom disc?
