When I unlocked the screen, I saw a tab open to this page: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/49921 I can't find a reference to this link in any of the mail on this topic; if you sent it, please say so. Or not; it's sort of cool to believe it just appeared from nowhere. Ubuntu shall provide. Anyway, the above link has a workaround: change the jumper from slave to cable select, which AFAIK should be the wrong setting, but it works. I have not tested burns yet, but it does play a CD. It also does not appear in the menu under Places. Navigate to PlacesComputer, and it is in the file browser window that opens. I am still working with the ubuntu-studio-developers folks in case they want to patch something so the jumper change is not necessary.

Re: Upgrade to 10.04; still no CD/DVD drive[solved]
Paul, can't follow this instruction w/o more; going from placescomputer, I find the following: computer:///750%20GB%20Hard%20Disk.drive computer:///750%20GB%20Hard%20Disk-1.drive computer:///CompactFlash%20Drive.drive computer:///Floppy%20Drive.drive computer:///MemoryStick%20Drive.drive computer:///SecureDigital%20Drive.drive computer:///SmartMedia%20Drive.drive computer:///root.link Apologies, have a meeting in minutes from now... Back later to try the work around. Ken On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 11:57 PM, Paul DeShaw pauldes...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, A miracle happened. Sort of.

Re: Upgrade to 10.04; still no CD/DVD drive
Ditto. Here in Austin TX my 10.04 upgrade within Kubuntu loaded with an UbuStu build won't produce sound, i.e., when opening YouTube or other simple docs. Have had no time to unravel what it'll take to do a work around. Any guidance will be gladly appreciated. Thx up front.

kirko birilli wrote snip: hi paul, hope that helps with your problem.found it while looking for a solution for my msi-laptop dvd writer.was messing around with udev as well and the discussion in the bug report... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/udev/+bug/554433 Kirko (or Shen? help me figure out who I'm replying to), That was useful, if only to eliminate something. I tried opening Disk Utility, and the drive does not show up at all. From: Kenneth Koym wrote snip If I didn't two family members in separate hospitals, I review bugs related to installation kills. Appears very rare that 9.10 10.04 produce a dead HP DVD Writer 840d reading. Suggest google may supply you a work around. Thanks for letting Ubuntu Studio techs have a chance to solve the mystery. Ken I don't want you spending time on this, take care of family matters and please don't neglect your own needs either...I will Google away. Installation kills...never heard of such a thing. The actual hardware is alive, it is detected by Bios and can boot live CDs. I apologize, I gave up on this list too soon and posted on ubuntu-studio-developers; somebody's helping there as well...maybe we can at least get my hardware working, but hopefully, get this patched so it doesn't happen to other users. I'm sure everyone wants a multimedia production distro to detect common optical drives.
