Hello all. I am having a strange problem all of a sudden. If I put an audio CD in either my cdburner (/dev/hdc/) or DVDRom (/dev/hdd/) I get a huge string of error messages. I am unable to mount either device, I get a pop up error box that says
Code:
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: /dev/hdd: can't read superblock
Please check that the disk is entered correctly.
Here is the output of dmesg -
Code:

I searched for these errors, and some suggested it was problem within X, so I tried shutting X down and mounting from the CLI. That also fails with the same messages. The CDs themselves are fine, I can play them on my stereo. I don't think it could be a bad drive, as I mentioned I tried both of my CD drives, and they both produce the same errors. I appreciate any suggestions that people have about how to correct this. I have hundreds of CDs to rip into mp3 and flac formats, but can't do so at present.
[EDIT]I just put a DVD in to see if that would work, and it did, so whatever the problem is, it is somehow tied specifically to the ability to read audio CDs.[/EDIT]
Thanks for the suggestion, but that had no effect, still the same output to dmesg, and the same pop up error box.
This wasn't a problem in the past either, I could always mount cd and dvds as regular user, and still was able to mount a DVD just moments ago to watch with totem.
Can you mount them as root?
If so then just a permission problem try Gay R0b0t's suggestion or add "users" to fstab options to allow users to mount cdrom's
Can you insert cd, open xmms, right click + Add, and put /media/cdrom in location. It should show files, or let you play the tracks. Your drive is looking for a data disc and there is none.
That doesn't work either. When I click on add, then directory, choosing either media/cdrom or /media/cdrecorder both leave the playlist blank. It is getting to the point where I feel that a dreaded reboot may fix the problem - but I know it can't.
Tried that, still the same error. This is infuriating! I'll try again, and this time maybe go to a different kernel version? See if that makes any difference.
