Fail to mount cdrom

[alexmat]

Hi

i cant see or mount my cdrom drive. My cdrom device is on /dev/sr0. I addes manually a folder called "cdrom" to /mnt.
It doenst work either.

I show u my fstab maybe this is worng also.

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation

I suspect there were some changes (more secure, less user-friendly) made in Ubuntu for automounting CDs.
1. Remove that junk you manually added to /sys. In the future, if you have to do something like that, it is a good indicator that something is wrong!
2. Insert a CD. Let it spin up.
3. Open Thunar, navigate to your Computer. What do you see?
4. You should see a CD partition. Double click on it; what happens?
5. Try different CDs, just to be sure.

Hi thanks for you suggetions!

Looks like you're looking in the wrong place. The image (can you do just one window next time?) shows your home. I was talking about your System: the computer looking icon on the left; I think it is also under the "Go" menu. I'm not at my Linux box right now, so I am doing this just from memory.
What is that CD-looking icon with "Mobile Partner" next to it? What happens if you click on that?

I have exactly the same problem. I am running 32bit version and cannot mount audio CDs with the internal DVD-rom. Data discs aren't a problem. There is nothing in the syslog suggesting a problem. I have tried adding the following to fstab:

Code: Select all

/dev/sr0 /media/DVD     auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

I have also tried manually:

Code: Select all

~ # mount /dev/sr0 /media/DVD
mount: mount point /media/DVD does not exist
~ # mkdir /media/DVD
~ # mount /dev/sr0 /media/DVD
mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device
~ # ls /dev

An external usb drive works without a problem. I suspect it is related to a similar problem in ubuntu 10.04 which is one of the reasons I tried mint:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468035
This is a problem with the 64bit version of ubuntu as well except that the external drive is not mounted either

Any suggestions would be welcome

ADD THIS LINE to YOUR FSTAB

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

should work now on.

nope, doesn't work.
Tried it on ubuntu 64bit - just get a pop-up window that says "unable to mount audio disc - Location is not mountable". I have checked that /media/cdrom exists

Also I have a 32bit version of mint running via VMplayer on my ubuntu 64bit machine. The virtual version of mint mounts audio cds without a problem despite that the real machine running ubuntu won't
I have check the fstab for the virtual machine and there is no entry for the cdrom:

I have been playing with disc encryption

I am having this same problem! I have two optical drives, one is a DVD writer, and the other is a CD writer. Inserting data disks brings up a dialog. Control Center has nothing(and there seems to be no equivalent of the Windows device manager). I just want to listen to an audio CD, but I can't even find it!

Tried gnome mplayer, and it goes through 470 CDDA thingies and doesn't find anything. I realize that Ubuntu doesn't mount audio CDs like a data disk because they're different, but in Mac OS and Windows I just stick the audio disk in and bam, there it is. I don't have to type console commands or Google for 2 hours. This is so frustrating! Mint is the easiest Linux I have found so far and I feel like I have to Google for hours to do anything

i have a similar issue mounting audio cd's been searching for solutions aand cant find one that works.

i have this issue on linux mint 10, mint 10kde and i even tried another distrobution called kanotix and still same problem. it seems that all the new versions do not work i dont know if it is kernel related of debian 6 related but it is not isolated to ubuntu based builds or kde from what i can see. i would have kept using mint 9 had i seen a download link.

in mint kde i do not have a reference to the cd drive in fstab yet all data disks work and audio disks do not.
in kanotix i did have a cdrom reference in the fstab but unfortunately dont remember exactly what it said.
i have tried both ide mode and acpi mode in bios, making sure i change all references i can find to one or the other, neither make any change to anything
i have tried booting with a disk in the drive, both data and music, niether make a difference
i have tried sleeping(both to ram and to disk) and waking the computer with different disks in the drive, no change
i have tried adding a cddrive reference to fstab with lines found in various forums
i tried commenting out the fstab line in kanotix when i had that on my computer.

the drive worked fine in mint 9, someone has to have a solution but i cant find one that works anywhere. i may try to update the drives firmware but the manufacturer only has a windows installer for the new firmware, i dont use windows anymore.
is anyone using a buffalo dvdrw or any drive with the model number plds dh20a3s? it is available from lite on and other manufacturers as well

[ben2talk]

Is that it?
So many dead ends...
Linux Mint 14 can't do Audio CD's?
I have a fair few to re-rip after my old HDD failed.

Guess that means I need to use Windows? or maybe switch to some distro that works?

I just came across this problem. Solved by using Synaptic to install package: gvfs-backends
