[feisty] cdrom double entries

[Amnon Aaronsohn]

Binary package hint: gnome-mount

I have a CD-ROM and a CD-RW drive in my computer. Ever since I upgraded to feisty, the "Computer" place in Nautilus shows 4 entries: "CD-ROM 1", "CD-ROM 2", "CD-ROM Drive", and "CD-RW Drive". Clearly, at most 2 should be displayed (and even these are usually superfluous, since they're displayed even when there's no disc in the drive).

When I double-click one of the "CD-ROM n" drives, the following error message is displayed: "Unable to mount the selected volume. mount: special device /dev/hdd does not exist", which seem to suggest that this is a gnome-mount problem.

Thanks for your bug report.
Could you please paste your /etc/fstab here.

[Amnon Aaronsohn (bla-cs)]

Here's my /etc/fstab. The cdrom and floppy entries were generated
automatically during the installation of a previous version of ubuntu
-- should they be removed?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

Thanks,

I don't think it's a gnome-mount related bug. Sounds more like a gnome-vfs one, or an hal one.
Could you please attach here the result of lshal.

Thanks.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Waiting for lshal info.

[Amnon Aaronsohn (bla-cs)]

lshal output is attached.

In any case the problem was solved after I removed the cdrom and floppy entries from /etc/fstab. However this might be a problem for people who need devices to appear in /etc/fstab.

I have the same issue, but with one cdrom. I had originally upgraded from Edgy to Feisty via Update-Manager, but I later decided to install Feisty from scratch with the Herd 4 CD. Ever since the scratch install, I've had a double CD entry, and it gives me the same error, "special device /dev/hdb does not exist"

I'll attach my /etc/fstab and "lshal -t" as well.

I confirm the same issue on a fresh install of Herd 5 with all the latest updates.

I get:
Unable to mount the selected volume.
mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist

No /dev/hda exists, but /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdrw both exist.

I attached my /etc/fstab and my lshal -t.

[Robert Escriva (no-spam-robescriva)]

I'm not familiar with gnome-vfs or what it does, but the problem was fixed by changing /dev/hda to /dev/dvd. No further action was necessary after a reboot. Could this be a problem with the installer not configuring the devices correctly?

[Jackdaw28 (simoncsoka)]

I have the same problem on a Samsung X10 laptop.
I could not do a fresh install becuase the alternative installer could not mount the cdrom despite booting from it to begin with.
After an online upgrade from Edgy I now have a phantom cdrom icon on the desktop and no access to the real one.
A bit of searching reveals that this is a common problem with Feisty.

Same problem here with just a DVD-+RW drive, Feisty Fawn show de "CD-ROM 1" and "CD-RW/DVD+RW Drive" entries.

[VF (vfiend)]

I recently did a fresh install of feisty from a daily cd build a few days ago, and a few days later realized I had this problem. Changing /dev/hda (the dvd drive's device entry) to /dev/dvd in /etc/fstab as per Robert's comment fixed it.

[DrFaNaTiC (drfanatic)]

Same problem here.

[Robert Escriva (no-spam-robescriva)]

I'm not sure what did it, but I did a fresh install off the beta CD, and install all updates through today, and the problem is gone. I did not need to modify my /etc/fstab or any other file to fix it.

Does this work on anyone else's machine?

[Antho (anthonymacp)]

Same issue as OP

[yakitori3 (yakitori3)]

Same problem here with just a DVD-+RW drive, Feisty Fawn show de "CD-ROM 1" and "CD-RW/DVD+RW Drive" entries.

[yakitori3 (yakitori3)]

Really having a problem with this one. Trying to use
wine to run a program from my cdrom but Feisty does
not recognize my cdrom???? LOST

I worked it out ok by changing the hdc to sdc0 in the fstab conf. file.
All is GREAT now.
Ron Hertz
Thanks for all the hard work in making Feisty so important in the lInux world.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Does using yakitori3's approach fix the problem for everybody?

[Alexander Hunziker (alex-hunziker)]

I also just deleted the corresponding line from fstab. The drive continues to work as it should, but Nautilus doesn't display a CD-ROM 1 anymore.

[radostyle (mr--jon)]

Changing /dev/hda (the dvd drive's device entry) to /dev/dvd in /etc/fstab as per Robert's comment fixed it also for me.

My fstab was like this after the upgrade and my cdrom/dvd-rw drive didn't work properly and couldn't read audio cds:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=5d0da75e-802f-4fd9-9b5f-f8d2471a1d33 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=6de62efe-7c61-4e38-a0de-5ef0ecfc40f0 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/ /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

and I made it like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=5d0da75e-802f-4fd9-9b5f-f8d2471a1d33 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=6de62efe-7c61-4e38-a0de-5ef0ecfc40f0 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/dvd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

and now audio cds can be mounted.

[Javier Valdivé (g3o)]

Thanks guys, changin fstab line:

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
 to
/dev/dvd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

i solve the bug..
