Bug Description

Binary package hint: udev

Cd/dvd is not recognized in Lucid. Only when the cd/dvd is in the tray at startup it works as expected.

In Disk Utility the cd/dvd drive is shown as normal, however the disk information under Volume is "unknown".

I can force Lucid to recognize and mount the disk by pressing the Format Disk control in the Disk Utility. After an error message the disk is recognized, shown on the desktop and in /system/media.

This computer works fine until Karmic, where this device is known (and mounted) in /etc/fstab.

Also fails for me most of the time.

System twin XEON @ 2.8Gig with 4Gig of ram on an INTEL SE7505VB2 running fully updated 10.04 i386 installed from Beta1 and my DVD re-writer is a Pioneer DVR-112 with firmware version 1.28

After a fresh boot disks will sometimes get mounted but on ejecting the disk the drive tray will sometimes go straight back in and their is disk activity after the solid light as the disk spins up but less than when it was first mounted and this time it doesn't mount at all but it does eject OK

The eject behavior is the same if either pushing the drives eject button or right clicking and ejecting.

I will attach some relevant logs after a fresh boot

Just booted into 10.04 Beta1 and created a boot-able usb stick to test if the problem existed in Beta1.

Booted from the usb stick and all is fine CD's show on the desktop and open automatically displaying their contents as expected and they eject and re-mount OK.

So the problem has come as an update post Beta1 which has udev 151-5 but rather a lot of updates have occurred since Beta1 and I only have the live Beta1 i386 CD so I cant put udev 151-5 back to test if this was the culprit for the non mounting behavior seen now.

Did updates and allowed it to update the three UDEV packages and the NON-MOUNTING behavior returned so I downgraded just the main package using dpkg -i udev_151-5_i386.deb and normal mounting behavior returned immediately so I closed the system down and re-booted and tested the mounting behavior with both CD's an DVD's and all was OK.

This issue seems not to be fixed in beta2.

The appearance of the bug has slightly changed.

It is now possible to play unmounted video dvd.
It is no longer possible to force mounting cd/dvd in Disk Utilities
It does not play music-cd and it does not play data-dvd
Eject does not function properly anymore

Should a new bug be filed?

I am still seeing this behaviour - not with blank discs, but with standard, store-bought movies - with Lucid Lynx, with all updates applied as of about 12 hours ago. This machine was upgraded from Karmic Koala, which exhibited identical behaviour.

Note also that this is not a 100%-reproducible condition - sometimes everything will work properly. I haven't the faintest idea what the difference is, except that some DVDs seem to have a much higher chance of triggering it.

Either there are multiple bugs with identical symptoms (entirely possible), or this wasn't fixed entirely by udev. What I am seeing is exactly described by the original post, up to and including the strange "eject" behaviour.

So if downgrading to 151-5 is the solution, how can I do that? I'm kind of a noob, so I downloaded the packages, they are .deb, but when I double click and try to install, the "Install" button is greyed out because it says there is already a newer version of the file installed.

Couple of questions:

1. How can I install them (downgrade them..)?

2. If using Synaptic to uninstall the newer version, apparently a lot of software has to be uninstalled (brasero, empathy, evolution, and the list goes on), is there a way to avoid this? I don't want to lose, not even temporarily those programs, not to mention their configuration, that took me a couple of days..

Thanks a lot,

Alejandro,

Depending on how many versions of the package that your computer has, you can use the Synaptic Package Manager to force your computer to use a particular version. From within Synaptic, you find the name of the package and select it. Then you press Ctrl-E to "Force Version" (or you can go to "Force Version" under "Package" up in the toolbar menu). Hopefully, you can select an older version of the package this way.

If anyone knows a better way, that would be great.

"It's going to be an offence but I am gonna say it " WINDOWS IS GETTING BETTER ESPECIALLY WITH 64Bit"."

OK Let's not get into a flaming war; but I see Atul's frustration: what sort of useful OS cannot even recognise CDs and DVDS!? This type of things makes Linux (Ubuntu) look pathetically bad - and people do not seem that bothered. Remember the thing about Flash not really working on Linux - that took ages to "solve." It's still not right. Such basics should be ironed out within hours.

Atul and I would simply like simple instructions - my problem is that I ahve Lucid 10.04 and CDs and DVDs are not AUTOMOUNTED. They will only be recognised when I restart. I do not want to install a "mass update" as in the past any update has totally messed up my installation (won't recognise my wireless conenction etc.) so all we need is a fix for the mounting thing.

Is this crucial thing too much to ask for - I repeat Atul's frustration is expressed quite mildly compared with people who already laugh at Linux . I feel for him. Reading CD/CDRs is crucial! Next, certain people will be saying (for the next release of Ubuntu) "your monitor not recognised?" "hey if you need a monitor so bad, then go back to Windows" - I do not joke, this is the type of thing that is said.

This is a bug report system and not a forum. While these discussions are *healthy* for driving improvements to Linux and ironing out rough edges, they do not belong here. Also, because this bug has been marked as "Fix Released" the developers are no longer looking at this report and will not see your messages.

Because the fix did work for some people, I suspect the problem you are experiencing is slightly different and a new bug report should be filed. This will increase the likelihood of your specific issue being addressed. Feel free to mention in the new bug report that your issue may be similar to this bug report.

Also, keep in mind that for many people, CDs and DVDs are working just fine, and that this problem is not widespread. We need *your* reports to make Linux better.

As a side-note, the issue with Flash is that because it is closed-source, only Adobe can release fixes for it. Because Linux is such a small marketshare, they do not care enough to fix their products for Linux. This is also true for nVidia right now.

Re: Weathergod

a) Fix released: where? how?

b) Not widespread? Seems very widespread to me

c) I accept that this not a forum: but comments (however blunt) may make fixes more understandable to many people. You never know it might change the Linux community's rather strange attitude to problems with Linux ("go back to windows")

d) Flash: That's great isn't it. What you are saying that Flash may never work with Linux. So next (as I noted) what if monitors won't work with Linux, sound cards, keyboards, routers etc. When does an operating system stop being a useful OS?

I agree I should not open up a discussion; but I think my point (a) above is crucial - where exactly is the supposed fix?

Thanks for responding in a balanced and polite way.

WeatherGod (ben-v-root) wrote :

IsidoreSparkle,

a) See comment #16, as the original reporter stated that his problem was fixed. This was later confirmed by a few other uses and re-affirmed by the original reporter. If you are still having a problem, then you have a different bug with a similar symptom. Comments #24 through 26 show other users who have filed new bugs. Maybe one of those apply to you and you should add to those reports? Or, file a new bug.

b) At the risk of being condescending, 3 or 4 people is not widespread. While I am aware of the fact that many might not be reporting this bug, I have seen other bug reports that were much more "widespread".

However, this does not diminish the fact that *you* are having a problem, and it should be solved, regardless of it being widespread or not. I do hope that we can solve your issue, and that would be best done in a new report or in another report that more closely matches your problem.

c) That would only be true if this was an open ticket. However, because it is marked as "Fix Committed", the developers and QA people do not see these reports anymore (unless they search for it specifically). Hence why you should move to a ticket with a matching problem, or open a new bug report.

d) I don't follow your logic here. Adobe has refused to maintain their product on Linux, even when broken. The Linux community has bent over backwards to try and support outdated Flash software, but there is only so much they can do. Adobe -- on all platforms -- has been slow to produce bugfixes and to maintain their software.

Other things like monitors, keyboards, routers and such, so long as their drivers are open source, will likely continue to work for a very long time because we can do something about it. With closed-sourced drivers and software, there is very little that can be done. This is a cold, harsh reality that the Linux community has been trying to make people aware of for a long time.

To summarize, this bug report is *Closed*. Please file a new report or join an open one that matches your problem more exactly.
