Public bug reported: My DVDRW and CDRW drives are not working properly. I think the quickest way to describe the problem is a link to my posts in UbuntuForums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=470641).
The longer version is this: Ever since my upgrade to Feisty, the side panel in Nautilus has had to icons that should have linked to either of my removable media drives. Instead they would inform me that the drive in question did not exist. I attempted by various means in /etc/fstab to correct the problem, but instead it just kept getting worse. Even though I copied my original fstab and eventually replaced it, my system never recovered. Currently, DVDs are functionally invisible in the DVDRW tray. They will play in the CDRW, however. CDs are functionally invisible in either tray to everything except Sound Juicer. I mean EVERYTHING... no k3b, no Nautilus, no XMMS or Audacious. Nothing. Here's my current fstab (with the pertinent lines from it's predecessor commented out): # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/hda1 UUID=5cbae883-1ea5-4909-a0f7-25dd778ffc45 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/hda5 UUID=1cfc19bb-b5dc-4199-8498-7bb897ec58f6 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 0 #/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 #/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 Here's the pertinent hardware: *-cdrom:0 description: DVD reader product: RW/DVD GCC-4520B vendor: HL-DT-ST physical id: 2 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/scd0 logical name: /dev/sr0 version: 1.00 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd configuration: ansiversion=5 *-disc physical id: 0 logical name: /dev/scd0 *-cdrom:1 description: DVD-RAM writer product: DVD-RAM GSA-H22L vendor: HL-DT-ST physical id: 3 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0.1.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom logical name: /dev/dvd logical name: /dev/scd1 logical name: /dev/sr1 version: 1.00 serial: [HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H22L1.0006/08/05 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram configuration: ansiversion=5 *-disc physical id: 0 logical name: /dev/cdrom Here's the output from dmesg | grep CD: [ 23.426388] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4520B 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 23.428686] scsi 1:0:1:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H22L 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 23.726248] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [ 23.726347] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [ 23.734164] sr 1:0:1:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 [16245.023107] sr1: CDROM not ready.
