I recently installed Linux (Ubuntu Hardy) on a laptop. Everything is running great, except for the CD. I would have expected an automount, but I can't even manually mount it.
When I try to mount it, I get the message "No Medium Found".
MSatterwhite, look maybe in your fstab it's name is wrong. Try to find how it has been detected by using dmesg.
Try to use something like CD-ROM or the name of your CD device.
for me works the string
Code:
dmesg | grep cd-rom
After that you can see the name of the CD-ROM device, and would be able to mount it easily.
