Hi, I am having the same issue with my cdrom drive and after 3 weeks of reading in the forum and trying out several steps I am pretty sure that it is hardware related, because: Only by changing the CDROM DVD R/RW I got it working perfectly now.
the symptom in Ubuntu 10.04 (and also 9.10): Cdrom is not recognized automatically, only in some seldom cases when I reboot the machine with CDROM placed already. But then I can not change the CD again, because it will not be recognized anymore (although lshw -disk shows the cdrom drive) As it is reproduceable by exchanging only the CDROM hardware, I could send you the detailed hardware information and logs you need in order to track the issue down to the root cause. I have installed both UBUNTU versions in parallel; 10.04LTS 32bit and also 9.10 32bit. Both show same behavior with both CDROM Drives. so the issue is reproduceable. I can also try out latest kernel version (2.6.34 or 35), but I do not know whether this will help. As I am not a Linux expert (but some shell scripting I know and also installing linux kernel via "apt-get" works fine) Can anyone send me the commands that I need to use in order to send you the information in order to track the issue down to its root cause? The CDROM drive I changed was from "PLEXTOR PX716A" to a "NEC DVD_RW ND-1300A" Cheers, -- [Lucid] cdrom drive not recognized automatically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
