cdrom/dvd device name assignment problem
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 12:23 am
I recently built this new box, and am only a little familiar with LinuxMint, MATE I think. Update package 6, all files updated. Kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64.
I have two DVD drives. If I load a data cdrom or data DVD it works as it should in either drive.
If I load a (retail) music disc in either drive and click on "open Banshee" they will play, no problem
However, if I load a music disc in the top drive but choose instead to "open folder" I get the following error message:
If I load the music disc in the bottom drive I don't get that error message- I get the file browser as I expect. But when I double click on any of the music file icons the system attempts to load VLC and gives me an error message that says:
I haven't figured out which log file it is referring to.
So it seems I have some kind of conflict. Here's what wodim says:
Yet, DMESG reports that I am also using /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 as the device names for my drives:
keith@ada:~$ dmesg | grep -i sr0

keith@ada:~$
If I load a data DVD in the top drive and view the output of mount I see:
But when I take that same disc out of the top drive and put it in the bottom drive I see this from mount:
So, the system thinks the top drive is still present (mounted). And it says they are mounted at /media/CDROM using the /dev/sr* device names.
What's going on here?
I originally started checking this out because I couldn't figure out what to give GRIP as a device designation for the cdrom drive. Nothing I give it works- not /dev/sr0, /media/CDROM, or any combination I can think of. I realize GRIP isn't part of the Mint distro, but I'd like to use it if possible. Also, I'd prefer to be able to use VLC when I want (instead of Banshee).
Any ideas about what the conflict is?
Thanks,

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda://sr1/Track%205.wav'. Check the log for details.
