I have the same problem on 5810T. I've discoverd that I also have troubles withs some cd's under windows (the ubuntu 9.04 live cd) : it was impossible to access the cd, to eject it, the reader made bad nose, and windows freezed. I had to make a hard reset to stop the computer.
-- Cannot mount media in DVD rom drive, Acer Timeline 4810T. Drive is detected, and media only detected if placed in the drive when machine suspended. Even then DVD movies (purchased) are not recognised - error message that media is unknown. Audio cd's sometimes play. When trying to unmount, I am asked for my password - message given that another user mounted the media. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412527 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
