..recent udev seems to fail to generate these symlinks for internal devices
because ID_PATH is not set and write_cd_rules needs it for the default
by-path method else f.e.
# udevadm test $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sr0)
will echo $DEVPATH not supported by path_id. by-id may work.
The by-id
Ubuntu really has to be quicker at bugreports(like watching grass grow).
I like left this behind due to no activity.. heck I don't even use that
system anymore. maybe somebody who has the time and problem in front of
them can takeover this.

I have that problem too. Gnome-mplayer mplayer (and vlc) will not
play commercial dvd as it looks for them in /dev/dvd but they are
mounted in /dev/sr0. My dvd is simply no longer routed to the sr0.
This happens both on my old and new install of Lubuntu 13.10.
So, does Ubuntu no longer support
Clarifying the above. In my case it seems that my /dev/dvd is not
mapped (logical name) to cdrom. I suspect that is why this is
happening. If this is the problem, how do I fix it? As well, is this a
hardware problem?
sudo lshw -c disk
*-cdrom

No, they weren't forgotten. Upstream dropped the /dev/cdrom and
/dev/dvd* symlinks long ago, we just carried them a little longer. This
concept of static symlinks has shown to be unreliable with hardware
changes (as you noticed yourself when changing the SCSI drive), and
modern desktops and CD
Thanks for the explanation, Martin. I didn't see this mentioned in the
release notes or package changelogs, so I imagine I'm not the only one
left wondering why the upgrade broke what was working before.
For the record:
I didn't change my SCSI drive or anything else about my hardware. I guess

I believe the /dev/dvd* symlinks were correctly created in xubuntu 13.04
(raring), but they disappeared when I upgraded to 13.10 (saucy).
My /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules file contains rules that
look like they did the job some time in the past, but they refer to a
scsi target that no
On my system, the missing symlinks are:
/dev/cdrw
/dev/dvd
/dev/dvdrw
The /dev/cdrom simlink is created, apparently by
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules . Maybe it was intended to replace
75-cd-aliases-generator.rules but someone forgot to add the additional
symlinks for CDRW/DVD/DVDRW drives?
