@Sebastien Bacher Yes I did read the other bug comment. The think is there are sub options presented once you choose" ubuntu-bug storage". After reading the comment and before i realized that the files are after all accessible but not in Nautilus, i tried reporting the bug choosing "Removable storage is not mounted automatically". The report that was created contained multiple files and proposed "linux" as Binary package hint. Unfortunately launchpad was down and i couldn't submit the report. in the mean time I realized that on the contrary the storage IS MOUNTED so next time i tried to report the bug I used "Documents cannot be opened in desktop UI on storage device". I think that it is a good explanation for the problem I'm having. But also "No permission to access files on storage device" might be a valid description too. So please don't accuse me of stupidity to follow simple instructions (that might me incomplete). @Martin Pitt petar@aurora:~$ ls -ld /media/cdrom* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-10 03:58 /media/cdrom petar@aurora:~$ sudo ls -l /media/cdrom* [sudo] password for petar: total 0 petar@aurora:~$ sudo blkid -p /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: LABEL="050927_1924" TYPE="udf" USAGE="filesystem" petar@aurora:~$ sudo /lib/udev/cdrom_id --debug /dev/sr0 main: probing: '/dev/sr0' cd_inquiry: INQUIRY: [ASUS ][DRW-2014S1 ][1.01] cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: size of features buffer 0x014c cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 'profiles', with 14 entries feature_profiles: profile 0x15 feature_profiles: profile 0x16 feature_profiles: profile 0x2b dvd_plus_r_dl feature_profiles: profile 0x1b dvd_plus_r feature_profiles: profile 0x1a dvd_plus_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x14 dvd_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x13 dvd_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x12 dvd_ram feature_profiles: profile 0x11 feature_profiles: profile 0x10 dvd_rom feature_profiles: profile 0x0a cd_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x09 cd_r feature_profiles: profile 0x08 cd_rom feature_profiles: profile 0x02 cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0001 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0002 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0003 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0004 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0010 , with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x001d , with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x001e , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x001f , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0020 , with 0x0c bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0021 , with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0023 , with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0024 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0026 , with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002a , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002b , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002c , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002d , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002e , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002f , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0033 , with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x003b , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0100 , with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0101 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0103 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0104 , with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0105 , with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0106 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0107 , with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0108 , with 0x14 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x010a , with 0x0c bytes cd_profiles: current profile 0x11 cd_profiles: profile 0x11 media_dvd_r cd_media_toc: READ TOC: len: 20 cd_media_toc: track=1 info=0x4(data) start_block=0 cd_media_toc: last track 1 starts at block 0 cd_media_info: disk type 00 cd_media_info: hardware reported media status: complete ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_CD=1 ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RAM=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R_DL=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_STATE=complete ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_COUNT=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA=1
