Hardware :: LG DVD Burner Won't Recognize DVDs
May 16, 2009
I installed LG GH22NP20 Internal Super Multi DVD Rewrite Drive to use with MythTV. I have tried Knoppmyth and mythbuntu. It can read CDs but won't read DVD's. I haven't tried burning anything yet. Sometimes when I click the eject button on the burner case, the following error is displayed:
failed to eject "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RAM_GH22NP20 is not a volume or drive"
I'm new to Linux, but it looks like there is a simple configuration that has to be done. I tried using MPlayer movie player and VLC media player but to no avail.
Kernel:
2.6.28-11-generic

I've run into a problem when i put dvd's in it don't see them when i put cd's in it pick them right up?I have added my self to groups audio cdrom disks and a few others but no luck..I even changed out my dvd burner thinking it was messed up and the new one does the same.I'm thinking it something to do with the permission but i might be wrong or maybe something to do with permission for a dvd software dvdrw tools or something i don't know but i'm at a wits end.
When i put in a cd and goto yast>check media its all good but a dvd it say no media found.

I'm usually an Arch Linux Fellow so I have little experience with Debian based systems. I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop for my mum, everything works fine apart from the DVD drive. It refuses to detect DVDs at all (I've tried 8 different ones). It grinds and grumbles at me and makes all sorts of ungodly noises. The drive works fine mechanically as it's been used before under Arch and I used it to install Ubuntu yesterday. I've installed all the relevant codec packages and other odds and ends to play DVDs with, but still nothing.

I've tried everything that I can find. Nothing is working. I'm sitting here with my netflix delivered copy of Farscape: peacekeeper wars. And I can't play it. 8( I have another DVD that is a how to for comps(A+ level type stuff) and it won't work either. If I go to home and look it only says cd/DVD drive. I have two. I'm very new to ubuntu. Are they supposed to do like windows and show they have anything.

i have severe problem with my Thinkpad R500 - it simple doesn�t recognize/won�t mount any blank/empty dvd.1) First, it is not hardware Problem: DVD Burner read all formats, and works good under Windows.2) it is not CD/DVD Format issue- i tested Fuji, Platinum, Sony, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R...3) it has nothing to do with brasero. I tested k3b, gnomebaker, nautilu-cd-burner and some other problems.So, this Issue make my dvd burner useless...Does anyone knows if this problem is solved, or what bug should i report?

I have installed the LG BE08LU20 on five Centos servers during the past three months. Two HP ML115, two Dell T110 and mine which is an older Dell Dimension. All except one of the Dell T110 work fine. The BE08LU20 drive is used for 50Gb backups using mondoarchive. On the problem machine which has just been installed from scratch again, it will quite happily mount cd and dvds but not 50Gb BD-RE. I take the same BD-RE disk which it objects to and load it on my identical be08lu20 on a Dell Dimension with Centos 5.5 and it is recognized and allows writing. I swapped my working drive for the problem one but it makes no difference. The 'faulty' drive works perfectly correctly on mine. The OS is Centos 5.5 I have used the same DVD to install three machines with it. Two work including mine, but not the T110. Another customer with T110 also has a be08lu20 and mondoarchive with bd-re disks and theirs worked from the start. They have Centos 5.3 and up-to-date patches, but it should make no difference I've tried both usb and e-sata the result is the same. The centos 5.5 has kernel 2.6.18.194-el5PAE
If I load a bd-re disk in the drive and mount it - this is what I get
[root@localhost log]# mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
This is the log
Aug 25 00:33:17 gilmartin1 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 2096896
Aug 25 00:33:17 gilmartin1 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 524224
[Code]...
There was another problem with this particular machine. I could install Centos, configure Samba and join the users to the domain without a hiccup. Then in the small hours of the morning (not always the same time) it just locked up, no kbd, no mouse, no display, no disk active, no network. Only solution was switch off and it would come up again quite happily with nothing logged and run without a problem for another 20-24 hours. Dell eventually agreed to replace the motherboard. I installed Centos again from scratch. It's been fine all week. The blu-ray problem has been there from the start, and has NOT been solved by the new motherboard.

It's been a while since I hosed my system, and I finally stopped procrastinating to backup, format, and reinstall. The latest disc I have available is 9.10, and getting new ones is a feat now that Canonical won't mail them to me. So I installed 9.10 and immediately upgraded to 10.04; somewhere in there it asked me where to installed GRUB and I told it sda1 but not sda, which was apparently a mistake.
I got an error about "grub_puts_" being undefined and used this guide per a relevant thread. I rebooted and got through GRUB, but now all that comes up is the purple background and my cursor; the mouse doesn't move, not that there's anything for it to click anyway. I went on #ubuntu IRC and was advised to do a clean install rather than an upgrade.
Of course I can just stay with 9.10 but would prefer the latest (of course it's about to be obsolete anyway...). I have also heard that it's possible to install to a USB drive; I'm guessing that likewise requires a CD? I guess what I'm wondering is whether I can use a 9.10 install to download and install 10.04 directly to a different device? Finding someone who has a CD burner is a real hassle.

I'd like to replace my HP CD-Writer+ 8290 external CD burner. It works fine with Windows but is flaky in working with Linux (across multiple distros).I'm interested in buying an external DVD burner. If you use an external DVD burner with Puppy Linux or any other Linux distro, what are you using?Is there a list of external DVD burners that work with Linux?

Another step before turning to Linux. My DVD/CD burner is not supported by Linux. Can someone suggest a cheap burner that works well in Linux. My travails thru Newegg and other locales has borne no fruit.

I just got a new DVD burner and decided to get a cheapest burner (an LG SATA burner) I did not have much preferences on either IDE or SATA so I just got a serial ATA. K3B burns DVD's just fine, but the speed is pegged at 1x even though writing speed specified was 8x. Device buffer is fluctuating from 0 to 80% all the time, which seems to suggest that the data is not being fed into the drive at good sustained rate to write faster.
I tried:
hdparm -d /dev/sr0
which I got:
/dev/sr0:
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
doing:
hdparm /dev/sr0

OpenSUSE 11.3, Brasero 2.30.1 Brasero can't detect dvd-burner. Dialogs, that should allow burner-device selection is grayed out and contain only one option "No disc available". The device itself is known to be working. How to fix this?

This is a rather annoying problem I have with Linux on my laptop. Whenever I install any Linux distro that relies on grub (which is about 99 % apparently) it will mess up my DVD-drive and the drive will not be recognized after booting, no matter the OS (Ubunntu, Arch, Windows Vista or 7). I know the problem has nothing to do the DVD-drive itself, because I bought a new one a few months ago. I am also sure that grub is messing the drive up, because I have tried to use LILO, which worked fine (except for horrible boot times.)
This problem have persisted through about 3-4 years and it is a pretty bad show stopper whenever I want to work with Linux. I had hoped it would get fixed over time, but no one seems to have the exact problem I have. The drive is connected with an IDE connection. Update: The old drive was a Toshiba Samsung SN-S082. I don't know the model number of the new one, but it is HP (I think). Things I have tried to fix it: Mess about with some BIOS settings like enabling AHCI and change some IDE settings. Installing a different boot loader DOES fix the problem but I would like to use grub.

Finally got around to buying a DVD player so i put 3 old Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns on one dvd and it plays fine on the computer. However , when played on the tv-dvd player only one movie ( the last one on the dvd ) would play . I did not use a 3rd party converter app as the dvd player advertised that it would play standard avi movies. I burned with Brassero and noted that half the dvd was still blank if that's relative .

burning dvds or cds was always a bit tricky on my computer. I don't know why, but when i tried to burn a dvd+/-r it always ended in failure. but when i burned a dvd+/-rw before i was able to burn normal dvds and cds. i never knew why i needed this trick but it worked fine, so i had no problems with that.But now my burner doesn't recognize dvd-rws anymore and that's a big problem!! it recognizes all blank dvd-r i have, but when i try to burn to them they fail. so i need to recognize my dvd-rws!!

I had no trouble using k3b in my aptosid box-- 'til today. Some package I upgraded must have altered some config because now k3b doesn't even recognize my CD-burner/DVD player. I used apt-get purge to get rid of k3b and apt-get install to re-install k3b. I rebooted but no luck.hen all worked just fine before this problem, my CD-burner/DVD player drive was known as /dev/cdromInfo on my k3b: Version 2.0.2Using KDE velopment Platform 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)y kernel and OS: Host/Kernel/OS "aptosidbox" running Linux 2.6.35-7.slh.1-aptosid-686 i686 [ aptosid 2010-02- kde-lite - (201009132215) ]What do I edit to get k3b to see my CD-burner/DVD player?

about 2 months ago, my DVD burner stopped working... It would just burn stuff, say successful, then be unusable. I can see information on the disk, but it doesn't look like it worked. (Weird look to the data). if I pop in a disk, it just loops into this noisy blinking state, and I can hear the eye flipping about... never really doing anything.

My DVD/CD burner is rather old now (going on 5 years), and I've had some "quality" issues when I've been burning stuff for the past year.
CD's: When I play a burned CD in my car stereo, the songs have a "skipping" sound to them on the low-volume levels of the audio. I use K3b as my burning software, and it seems to be the best, but am I wrong? Is this a common problem?
DVD's: Specifically video DVD's. After converting the .avi to an image file using DeVeDe Creator, it gives me a file that has the .iso and I burn the disc using K3b. It's really hit or miss.
The question: is there a way to test the performance of my DVD burner to make sure it's working properly? Is there a way to calibrate the mechanism? I have a new External DVD/CD burner that supports "LiteScribe" (I could be mistaken on the name, but it's a technology that allows you to create a picture on the opposite side of the disc), but my INTERNAL is a 5 year old Lite-On.
