Can't mount cdrom

Yup. I'm using XFCE4, and I get the following message when trying to mount my cdrom (root or not):

What do I need to do to mount my CD? (actually, its a DVD)

Thanks!

See this sticky thread. You really should have searched before posting..

Open up a text editor and edit /etc/group

For example:

#nano /etc/group

Add your regular user to plugdev, cdrom, audio, video

Save. Exit.

Done:-)

Read the sticky as suggested.

The short of it is you need to make sure the user is added to the proper groups when you create the user with the 'adduser' command.
I prefer the 'adduser' then be sure to add to the groups when prompted for groups;

Code:

floppy audio video cdrom plugdev

The above is a good start.
