You just said it. What you did in the virtual media manager is to attach the cd-rom to the machine, you didn't mount the cd yet. Think of what you did in the virtual media manager as opening the tray on a real cd-rom drive, placing a cd inside it, and closing it. This just puts the cd into the drive, but doesn't mount it. In order to mount the cd you just inserted, you need to do something like: mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom I don't use ubuntu here, so this may not be exact, but it should give you an idea of how to mount the cd inside a text terminal. As far as I know, cd's should automount in gnome, so your disk may already be mounted, but I stand to be corrected on that. If none or most of this doesn't make sense to you, then I'd strongly suggest you become familiar with GNU/Linux basics before you move on.
