I performed many more tests. At first I thought I was going mad because everything was working fine today. However, then I tried again after rebooting and it failed again. The difference, is that the first time I booted with a CD in the drive, the second time I did not. I then performed both tests again to confirm this was the case.
Here were my results:- (Results after booting with CD left in the drive) Detected | Hardware eject | Software eject Audio CD: Yes | No | Yes DVD Video: Yes | No | Yes PC CDROM: Yes | No | Yes DVD ROM: Yes | No | Yes (Results after booting with no CD in the drive) Detected | Hardware eject | software eject Audio CD: Yes | No | Yes DVD Video: No | No | Yes PC CDROM: No | No | Yes DVD ROM: No | No | Yes I have attached the dmesg output for the tests that worked. When the tests fail, dmesg just shows a list of 'unaligned transfer' messages as per my previous comments. ** Attachment added: "dmesg output when working.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32532819/dmesg%20output%20when%20working.txt -- gnome doesn't 'see' cdroms/dvds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
