[Bug 238835] Re: persistent failure with DVD mounting, reading, writing
Ok, sorry, I spoke too soon. Only about a third of the DVDs automount. I thought it might be a problem with DVD regions, so I downloaded regionset and set the DVD player to region 1 ( I bought my DVDs in the US and the DVD drive was obtained in Canada), but this did not fix the problem, so maybe the ubuntu bug is still persisting in this case. -- persistent failure with DVD mounting, reading, writing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 238835] Re: persistent failure with DVD mounting, reading, writing
This is an update to my previous comment. I downloaded compiz-ccsm (to manage the effects of compiz), enabled Expo plugin (under compiz), and this has, to my complete surprise, fixed my problem. Now DVDs autmount and play without any problems. I have an GeForce Fx5200 video card. Originally I had used the proprietary Nvidia driver for my video card when prompted by the system because I wanted to take advantage of the eye candy compiz has to offer. The default compiz effects for compiz under ubuntu 8.10 include "Desktop Wall", but my DVD won't mount under this plugin. It wasn't until I downloaded the the compiz-ccsm and enabled the "Expo" plugin that DVD automouting started to work. Very strange, but I've had consistent results, so to summarize my situation: automounting DVDs doesn't work if compiz is disabled, but works if compiz is enabled and Expo plugin is used. -- persistent failure with DVD mounting, reading, writing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 238835] Re: persistent failure with DVD mounting, reading, writing
Seems like I might have this bug as well. I have been able to automount CDs using both my CD and DVD drives, but DVDs will not mount manually or otherwise, and I had to manually add the DVD drive info to /etc/fstab after installation (Ubuntu 8.10 with all current updates). The bios detected both drives prior to installation, so I don't know why the ubuntu installation allows only my CD drive to be seen in /etc/fstab. #uname -rv 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux #sudo cdrecord -scanbus scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'YAMAHA ' 'CRW2200E' '1.0D' Removable CD-ROM 1,1,0 101) 'LG ' 'DVD-ROM DRD8160B' '1.01' Removable CD-ROM 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) * 1,5,0 105) * 1,6,0 106) * 1,7,0 107) * #vi /etc/fstab . . . /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 #sudo mount -t udf /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 mount: No medium found I am not a linux coder, just an avid user, but if I can be of further assistance, let me know.
