Kubuntu Feisty x86-64 - CD/DVD drive Issues
I have installed Kubuntu Feisty x86-64 (actually, did the dist-upgrade from Dapper LTS -> Edgy -> Feisty).
I can't mount the CD/DVD drive (or access it with Xine): The drive is a Plextor SATA unit, on /dev/scd0; there are symlinks /dev/sr0 and /dev/cdrom pointing to it. Code:
[rcs@yoda: ~]$ mount /cdrom Trying to play a DVD with Xine: Code:
[rcs@yoda: ~]$ xine The above happen whether I try to access the drive as my regular user or as root; the regular user is in the "cdrom" group anyway. What do I have misconfigured? Thanks for any help! Bob |
What kind of disk are you trying to mount? Audio CD's cannot be mounted because they lack a valid file system. Try mounting a data CD/DVD -- if it works, everything is OK

CD/DVD drive issues
cd /dev
dev/ sudo ln -sf scd0 cdrom | ls -la|more should show cdrom > scd0 I believe this may help, similarly dev/ sudo touch dvd dev/ ln -sf scd0 dvd This creates and setups the correct symbolic links. I believe this will help you. Cheers |

CD/DVD issues.
Sorry I thought I was making progress on this. Same problem re superblock. Maybe worth checking block devices etc in kernel.
Personally, I am so pissed off about this. Extremely disappointed about this release. 'Friend' gave me the CD and said he had tried it but after I installed this trash found out he was using another release. (Note to self - must kill 'Friend'). No fu*ng documentation I could find about it on kubuntu's site. I was well and truly sucked in this time. Reinstalling Edgy which was easy. Given up attempting to work out how to mount drives! I haven't had this amount of trouble since SuSE 7.1. All I have found out is that we are not alone with this problem. For the record use a Dell D505 laptop which is only a few years old. Cheers and Best wishes. |
Solved!!!
Hi All
After several days of looking for, i've solved the issue First I enter in bios Setup and set UDMA to UDMA4, and type of drive CDROM Then, I do: hdparm -p4 /dev/hdb (To set PIO in 4) hdparm -c2 /dev/hdb ( to set IO to 32 bits and sync) This fix my problem to play dvds in xine, mplayer and VLC I don't know which of this actions solve the problem, but now its work!!!
