cd/dvd mounting failed everytime

[Sasa Paporovic]

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit updated to 19.5.2012.

On inserting a cd/dvd on any contend - also blank ones - Ubuntu is not able to mount the cd/dvd and eject it immediatelly from drive.

In moment I could not use the drive at whole with this bug.

In additional: When the drive has one time ejected a disk a closing of the drive (emty) causes the same behaviour. It open immediatelly even if it is emty. A closing of the drive is no longer possible.

Additional:

This is a regression bug that must be shipped with one of the latest updates to the system. Following the gvfs change log it could not be gvfs directly(last change on 16.4.2012), but must be any other package.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have also installed Release 12.04 (precise) 64-bit, Kernel Linux 3.2.0-24-generic and cannot get any CD disk to be recognized. I saw some response on-line of a recomendation to modify the bios settings to have the CD mounted after boot. I have a Lenovo W520 that does not have any bios option to allow this. This seems to be a very serious bug. I tried different mount commands and could not get the drive to be recognized.

One other thing I noticed. A normal DVD shows up but a RW DVD seems to not be loading. There must be some problem starting the normal RW project manager or able to handle media of that type. I have not tried a RW CD yet since I am traveling but will try this later.
