kubuntu karmic can't read data DVDs

[piovisqui]

Binary package hint: util-linux

I have just upgraded to Kubuntu 9.10. I can't read data DVDs. It's a very strange problem. All files appear on the listing and I'm unable to copy them.

I can mount the DVD, but cannot read it. O Windows they all read perfect, without errors. The discs were recorded with K3b and Nero 6. Sometimes they read, most times they don't. I have tried to add my user account to the "disk" group and it managed to read some discs partially. Any ideas?

I am having a similar or related problem. Karmic does not recognize my only DVD burner and therefore, k3b does not setup and I can't access any CD or DVD or burn images.

[jippie (jph4dotcom)]

I might just have the same problem here. K3b does not detect my cdrom/rw.

Notice that I found K3b unable to open a handful of files:
strace k3b 2>&1 | grep "No such file or directory" | cut -d\" -f2 | sort -u | cat -n

I am on Kubuntu 9.10, i86_64. Using 9.04 i86_64 all worked fine.

wrote same comment on Bug #474573

Hope this helps

I managed to solve the locale files by running:
cd /usr/lib/locale
ln -s en_US.utf8 en_US.UTF-8

This is not a k3b bug.

[Rohan Garg (rohangarg)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, according to this report, you are not using the most recent version of this package for your Ubuntu release. Please upgrade to the most recent version and let us know if you are still having this issue. Thanks in advance.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

This is not a k3b bug since this would contradict that the DVDs are not readable from another system, nor would be taken into account the DVDs written with Nero show the same problems!
