I have come up with a workround for this problem which is successful for me. I replaced the default hal 0.5.9-1ubuntu6 which is in the gutsy repos with hal 0.5.10-5ubuntu1 from the hardy repos. Optical media recognition now behaves as it should.
One word of warning if you are tempted to try this. In addition to installing hal, synaptic or apt-get will also install and replace several other programs for compatibility. I have not noticed any ill effects from this although this may not be the same on all machines. Make sure you have a disk image or comprehensive backup before you try this in case it does not work for you. -- no CD automount after upgrade to gutsy (Hal, dbus or gvm) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161044 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
