[Bug 602945] Re: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points
I am a newbie to Linux...very new! If the following question belongs on another forum, I apologize. I am having problems trying to burn an .iso of Ultimate Boot CD. A Google search sent me to this forum as a result of the above post from User: bim (mng-kingston) dated 2010-11-24. Bim says: The disk utility for /dev/sr0 says Location: Port 1 of PATA Host Adapter Capacity: 2.0 KB Connection: SCSI SMART Status: Not Supported I have a dual-boot laptop (Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04). I have had problems before with Windows not recognizing the cd. It is happening again today, so I thought I would try it in Linux. When I ran Disk Utility, I got the exact same information listed by Bim, including the disk's capacity as 2 KB. Is this a standard response? The capacity of a cd is about 700 MB. Nevertheless, I decided to go ahead and try to burn the .iso using Brasero. After doing so, I told Brasero to check the disk integrity and it found no problem. What is my next step? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602945 Title: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/602945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks Kwok Ho Yin! I repeat all the steps you described under ubuntu natty now and can not reproduce the problem here anymore. It would be nice to know the bug is still reproducable for you on 10.10 (maverick) and the 11.04 development images.

[Bug 602945] Re: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points
Hey John Pearson. I tried reproducing the bug you describe under the current development version of 11.04 and can not reproduce it. I did not do a full media less install, but removed the /cdrom symlink and tried both with mounted and unmounted cdrom. Both times apt found it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602945 Title: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also removed the cdrom entry in /etc/fstab and it still was able to get the package from the cdrom (tried both mounted and unmounted case before running apt-get install). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602945 Title: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 602945] Re: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points
Hi Michael Vogt, Now, it is my report (Since the computer which I used for testing is not able to connect to the internet, not all output messages will be shown in the report) 1. Install Ubuntu 10.04.1 in a new harddisk. 2. Then insert a APTonCD DVD to the drive and then system will mount the CD automatically and APTonCD colume detected dialog box is shown. At this time, I chose Start package manager for the question Would you like to open it with package manager? in order to add it to the /etc/apt/sources.list. 3. Then I disabled other sources except the DVD to make sure only this line was enabled in the file /etc/apt/sources.list: deb cdrom:[APTonCD for Ubuntu lucid - i386 (2010-07-25 20:27) DVD1]/ / 4. Then I reloaded the repositories and after that I restarted the computer. (I did not take the DVD out during restart process) 5. After reboot process, Ubuntu mounted the DVD automatically and I saw this line when I ran mount command: /dev/sr0 on /media/APTonCD type iso9660 (.) 6. Then I ran this command: sudo apt-get install -o Debug::Acquire::cdrom=true build-essential 7. APT said some additional packages has to be installed. OK, I pressed Y and Enter 8. Then I saw some messages like this: ... ... Looking for CDROM at /cdrom/ ID 2 bc97f65c075ecaee181f1e55cbe66d89-2 ID 2 bc97f65c075ecaee181f1e55cbe66d89-2 ... ... Looking for CDROM at /cdrom/ ... ...

Re: [Bug 602945] Re: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points
Hi, I'm now unable to reproduce this bug: on a fresh media-less 10.04 install apt-get can now install packages from my CDR, using '/cdrom' as its mount point. Perhaps, something in 10.04.1 had a positive effect on the issue. So from my personal point of view, I think you can close this bug as unreproducible.

[Bug 602945] Re: apt-cdrom fails due to inconsistent choice of mount points
I think this bug are also related to the following bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/539219
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/579110
I have read the source codes of APT, Synaptic, software-properties,
software-properties-gtk and Python-apt and I think you have to mount the
CD/DVD to /cdrom/ because of this line:
string CDROM = _config-FindDir(Acquire::cdrom::mount, /cdrom/)
This code can be found in:
Synaptic package: rcdscanner.cc and apt package: apt-pkg/cdrom.cc
And the meaning of this line is: If the value of the key
Acquire::cdrom::mount is empty, then /cdrom/ will be used.
That's why sometimes you have to create the symbolic link for /cdrom/.
Well, for a normal user, how to assign the mount point to the key
Acquire::cdrom::mount?
Now, I have found two ways:
In the console, run:
1. sudo synaptic --add-cdrom {mount point}. For example, sudo synaptic
--add-cdrom /media/APTonCD/
OR
2. sudo apt-cdrom add --auto-detect
At this moment, I don't know why the value of the key Acquire::cdrom::mount
becomes empty.
Also, for me, I could not submit any patch because I am not familiar with
Python language.
Therefore, I wish my report can help someone to solve this problem.
