That was my thought as well.

Interesting question.
The old (successful) laptop has a built in optical drive
The new (unsuccessful) laptop has a USB optical drive
*However* My desktop machine (not mentioned previously)
   has a built in optical and has the same problem as
   the new laptop

Thank you all

He doesn't have /dev/sr0 so no amount of fstab or automounter fiddling
will mount a CD that isn't there. This appears to be a missing kernel
option.

Is this a built in optical drive or a USB one?

That's the "SCSI CDROM support" he already has.

Add the device(s) to fstab like so:

/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  autonoauto,ro,user,users0 0
/dev/dvd/dvdautonoauto,ro,user,users0 0

if you have udev setting those symlinks, else use /dev/sr* instead.

But what I think is missing is some feature of the desktop, aka
"device actions", possibly sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility and some
digging in the gnome-config. I do not use gnome.

  In my /etc/fstab, I have...

/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  iso9660  noauto,users,ro  0 0
/dev/sr0/mnt/dvdauto noauto,users,ro  0 0

...to handle the 2 devices on my system.  The corresponding lines will
probably be different on your system.  The advantage is that I can mount
and umount as a regular user.  BTW, I run ICEWM.

My note from recently installing Gentoo on a newly built machine :
"for DVD drive, use BLK_DEV_SR to create /dev/sr0 ".
Use 'make menuconfig' + search to find that string, then set the option.

BTW I try to do things as simply as possible :
using Fluxbox + Openrc, I mount  /dev/sr0  on  /mnt/dvd  (as root),
then (as user) 'cd /mnt/dvd' & use Most/Mupdf/Feh/etc to look at the files.

GACK the lack of /dev/sr0 is spurious.  At the point I looked
the (usb) drive was not plugged in.  When plugged in we have

brw-rw+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Nov 11 14:55 /dev/sr0

Very sorry about that.

What is true is that when I insert a known good disk in the drive I do
*not* get a media subdirectory of /run.  With the old laptop with a
built-in drive with the same cdrom media I have /run/media/gottlieb
and a subdirectory of that directory has the contents of the drive.

All the following are on the new laptop with the drive installed via usb
and the known good media inserted

Hm. Neil, you're right. From the OP though:

  <*> SCSI CDROM support

which is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR which is sr_mod which provides /dev/sr*. So
he has sr_mod built into the kernel. No module to load. Should not
compile without the requires. Hm. Maybe a missing chipset-driver like
pata_atiixp as I use?

Or systemd-udev etc. is hiccupping, so the kernel (sr_mod) provides
the dev "per se" but there's no /dev/sr* device-node created, so let's
start at the "bottom" and have a look at dmesg and some stuff ...

@allan gottlieb:

- how is that drive connected?

- Please mail the outputs of

lsmod

lspci

lsscsi | grep -E 'cd|process'

hwinfo --cdrom

(the latter is from sys-apps/hwinfo) all run as root.

Oh, and please also paste the output of

zgrep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /proc/config.gz
or
grep  -F -e ATA -e SCSI /boot/config-`uname -r`
or
grep  -F -e ATA -e SCSI /usr/src/linux/.config

whatever matches your kernel best ;)

And capture the output of 'dmesg' for pasting to e.g. pastebin.org[0],
or better e.g. just the output of

dmesg | grep -Ei 'ata|sr|scd|scsi'

and/or mail the complete dmesg output just via PM to me (or Neil??) to
filter out and quote what's relevant (there might be stuff related not
captured by the 'grep -Ei'), no need to blast all that over the 'net.

-dnh

[0] has gentoo.org a "paste" service for such stuff? (I'm just lazy)

[gentoo-user] reading data cd/dvd

[allan gottlieb]

All my machines run gentoo / systemd / gnome3

On my older laptop when I plug in a data cd I get a popup suggesting
that I open it with files.  All is well

On my newer laptop the disk spins up but no popup appears.
What must I configure?

On the old machine there is a directory /run/media/ with a subdirectory
gottlieb.  The data cd is mounted there.  Looking at df gives
/dev/sr0286490   286490  0 100% /run/media/gottlieb/COD3E

The new machine does not even have /dev/sr0.

Am I missing a kernel option
