Comment 1 for bug 439137

Can you please exactly see what happens for you? Bug 431055 is fixed, and in a comment there you say instead

==== quote ====
If I don't boot with media in the drive my DVD/CD drive is basically dead in the water. Even though I can manually mount it, I can't burn anything to it because Brasero doesn't recognize it. The eject button also doesn't work. Curiously though, K3B does work for mounting, burning, and ejecting.

However if I boot with media in the drive everything works fine. The media is automounted, I can eject it with the button or via Nautilus, and continue to insert, use, and remove media normally.

I'm afraid we do need more data, since (contrary to bug 431055) it does not happen for everyone, and I cannot reproduce it.

Can you please do the following:

  1. Boot without a CD-ROM inserted (i. e. the situation which reproduces the bug)
  2. Open a terminal and do

        udevadm monitor --udev -e > /tmp/udev.log

  3. Open another terminal and do

        devkit-disks --monitor-detail > /tmp/dk.log

  4. Insert a CD-ROM and wait a couple of seconds. As you say, nothing should happen on the desktop.

  5. Press Control-C in those two terminals to stop the monitoring.

  6. Do

         devkit-disks --dump > /tmp/dk-dump.txt
         udevadm info --export-db > /tmp/udev-dump.txt

  7. Attach /tmp/dk.log, /tmp/udev.log, /tmp/dk-dump.txt, /tmp/udev-dump.txt, and /var/log/kern.log here.

Thanks!
