I recently download the 12.04 version 64 bit and installed and it went smooth (nice job). After the reboot and working with the system, I was going to work with getting some music and play a movie or two. While doing this the machine no longer sees the dvd drive. The machine is an acer aspire timeline 5810. It is the same drive I used to install ubuntu from. I used to ubuntu 11.10 and the drive worked fine.

Thanks for any guidance in this matter as I have been searching on it and to this point no luck.

Hi,

to know more about what is wrong,

launch a terminal and then open the DVD drive, put a CD-R with data, or a DVD-R with data, or a dvd-video, close the drive.

After 2 or 3 seconds, something should happen on your screen if the install is ok, a program such as nautilus or totem. This mean that your optical drive is well know by ubuntu.

if not, in the terminal, write this command : dmesg

a long list is going to appear, have a look to the last lines, they talk about want happen when you put the CD or DVD into the optical drive.

copy and cut theses lines in your next email, maybe we can have a start of solution for you.

Laurent
