Kubuntu automounter doesn't mount Discworld II cds

[karaluh]

Kubuntu automounter doesn't mount Discworld II cds, maybe because of the safedisc copy protection. Discworld II is released on two cd's, both safedisc protected, both not mounted when inserted. I don't have any other safedisc cds atm, so I cannot confirm that it's caused by safedisc. Being noob I also don't know which package is responsible for kde automount. Hal maybe?

guessing package

I don't think it's udev, cause i can mount them by hand.

Attached dmesg output after inserting cd.

It's not udev's fault:

I've got SafeDisc protected cd's (Discworld II) which do not mount automaticly, and this prevents me for actualy finishing the game. System info:
Kubuntu 6.10
kernel 2.6.17
udev 093
hal 0.5.7.1

If I follow the thread this is IMO a udev/libvol_id problem and not a HAL one. If (lib)vol_id print no usefull info HAL can't recorgnise the CD/DVD file system.

You are already in contact with Kay as it looks for me ... he is the correct contact for this. I close this bug now.

Err, sorry, got a bit reject-happy there

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Oh well; can't get LP to behave -- this is an upstream problem, and somebody's already talking to upstream about it

[karaluh (karaluh)]

Yes, me actualy. But udev devs have no idea what's going on, so they need help. As I'm not a coder I can only help triaging the bug.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

If the upstream developers have no idea, I don't really see how we can help <g>

Please DO NOT change the status of a bug without giving a rationale -- this bug is marked Invalid -- if you wish to change it to Confirmed you MUST provide more information as to why you think this is a valid bug.

According to http://news.launchpad.net/general/of-bugs-and-statuses

"There are many reasons a bug might not be valid: if it was deemed to be user error, or if there was not enough information to establish whether it was a bug or not. The reporter might be asking a question, testing (or joking). The actual project it was reported against might have been dismantled and abandoned."

Neither of the above is the cause here. Saying "I don't know how to fix it." doesn't change the bug to a feature.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

"if there was not enough information to establish whether it was a bug or not"

Neither I nor upstream have enough information to ascertain whether this really is a bug in udev, or whether this is some wackiness with your CD.

You, yourself, point out that this is not udev's fault, above.
