Will somebody at PLEASE fix this problem. I have several PCs and Laptops that continue to exhibit this issue and they also refuse to read any data or movie DVDs. The drives are combo cdrw dvdrw drives and will only read burned CDs. This is a CRITICAL issue and all the PCs worked perfectly fine in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) Why are we having this problem now with hardware that used to work suddenly does not and no one seems to realize how *CRITICAL* this is. This is a MAJOR bug and its a problem with the KERNEL failure to read DVDs and blank media. To summarize : Many DVDrw drives will only read CDROMs They will not read data or movie DVDs nor any blank media. This problem is at the kernel level These devices worked without problems in gutsy.
$ sudo mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 mount: No medium found this problem manifest as several different bug reports with a plethora of different suggestions to try such as ========================================================== https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/228624 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-volume-manager/+bug/218834 Try to recheck if you did boot with the all_generic_ide=1 Other workarounds could be: 1. Booting with irqpoll. 2. Trying to use the 2.6.24-12 kernel. 3. Someone said that he got a better umda cable and now his drive speed was properly seen as udma2. ======================================================= I hate to be harsh here but it has been 2 months since Hardy was released with a bug that should have never been released and yet this is not fixed. With ever release of ubuntu there are massive show stopping bugs that really turn people off. -- Fails to see blank CD/DVDs for writing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus-cd-burner in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
