Public bug reported:
Hi,
I have a major issue with a DVD. It's a "burned" video DVD, burned at
home, with no copyright protection or DRM of any sort. I loaded it onto
my laptop running Ubuntu 8.10, and the drive starts spinning like crazy,
but it never mounts, and gives me HAL errors. It makes parts of the
interface start to hang, and the drive makes strange sounds, and the
disk can't be ejected because it's not mounted yet. I rebooted into
Windows on the same laptop, and the DVD played perfectly with VLC, and I
could see the file structure with Windows Explorer. I rebooted back
into Ubuntu with the disk in the drive, and it wouldn't even boot up,
just showed a million I/O Errors on sr0. Something is seriously wrong
with Ubuntu if it can't read a simple DVD, and worse that it causes the
system to become unstable. I have played other DVDs successfully on
this same system. I don't doubt that maybe the DVD may have problems,
but it worked perfectly under Windows. Attached is my kernel log.
Thanks.
