Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
When I insert a CD or a DVD (either with data, audio, or blank), the desktop icon (and in the System nautilus window) appears and quickly disappears. When I start hal-device-manager, under the "IDE Device (Master)" entry, I see the DVD reader entry (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B for me ...) but no volume entry below !!!
If I eject the CD/DVD and insert it again, everything is working perfectly ... a new entry "Unknown device" whose type is "volume" appears in hal-device-manager under the DVD reader one. The icon appear on the desktop, and the CD/DVD is available in the System nautilus window.
When a CD/DVD is inserted for the first time, and thus not properly recognized by hal, I can mount it manually anyway ... so everything is ok kernel-side. Weird.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything relevant in /var/log/messages ... But the fact that I see the CD desktop icon appearing during a brief time and then disappearing may be a sign of Hal "thinking" that the CD has been ejected ?
I have the same problem in Ubuntu Dapper. When I put a blank cd in the writer, desktop icon and nautilus burning dialog appear for just a few seconds, and then is like the writer was empty.
