Ubuntu :: 10.04 64bit Doesnt Recognize Blank CDs/DVDs?
Aug 20, 2010
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'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 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.

I'm trying burn an ISO to a DVD+R. but I cannot seem to get it recognized. The drive will read a CD-R that I have, but not the DVD. I have found quite a few threads about this, but none had any working solutions. Does anyone know what I could do? Could it be because the bottom of the disc is blue rather than silver?

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

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.

Whilst in fedora i deleted files off my second hard drive to free up some space, i deleted over 10gb worth of data. When booting back in to my windows partition it doesnt recognize the free space instead it thinks the hard drive is still full even though i deleted the data.Not to sure as to why this has happened, as im sure i have deleted stuff of this hard drive before from my linux partition.Any help would be greatly appreciated as my 70gb hard drive is full with only 20gb of data to show for it

just updated to lucid and i went to install medibuntu and following the instructions on this page [URL] just like i did in Karmic but after i have done everything that i had to do in Karmic to get it to work i tried to play a dvd in totem and it pops up and says
The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file?
The search will also include software which is not officially supported.
No packages with the requested plugins found
The requested plugins are: DVD subpicture decoder
I click ok and then the dvd starts to play and says internal data flow error

11.2, KDE4, 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktopx86_64 GNU/Linux, latest updates
Weird, but suddenly just recently my system stopped 'seeing' any blank media. I have burned all sorts till now without problems, from K3B, Lemonrip, Handbrake, growisoft on the CLI, etc. Some errant update, perhaps?
I have done some digging ... added my user to cdrom, added an entry in fstab (K3B didn't like it so I deleted it), wodim -scanbus tell me I have '1,0,0 100) 'Optiarc ' 'BD ROM BC-5500S ' '1.03' Removable CD-ROM' ...
It can, however, read written Cds and DVDs without problems.

I am currently trying to copy a directory of roughly 400GBs to dvd, have gotten myself stuck. I tried to tar and then split; however, I don't have enough room on my hard-drive to make a compressed tar and split it up and then burn to disk, so I need a way to tar the and compress the directory, split it, and burn to disk every 4.3GBs.
I went ahead and installed DAR as an alternative, as I hear it is designed for this type of task, but I can't figure out which way is heads or tails.
my OS is the newest version of ubuntu 10.

I can write to CD+R no problem but when I try to write to DVD it does not work. When I put the DVD in the drive and go to computer and click open I get a message " unable to mount location, no media in drive." If I have a blank CD+R it says blank CD in drive but with the DVD I am having problems. I have way to many family pictures and I'd like to put it on 2 DVDs instead of 12 CD+Rs.

I have a raid 5 array formatted with ntfs; My Ubuntu OS is not able to recognize the raid 5 array but my windows 7 OS can. I had this working before when I installed ubuntu via wubi but now since i installed it as a dual boot OS I am having issues trying to mount this raid 5 volume. So far i have tried reinstalling the dmraid, ntfs config manager, and storage device manager however nothing seems to help me recognize my raid 5 array.

I am a total Noob, I couln't find the answer to my question anywhere. I need to run Matlab with 4GB of RAM and I have been told Fedora 64bits is the best environement for that. I downloaded the iso for the Fedora 14 x86_64. I first booted using the live CD and was surprised to see that only 3.4GB are recognized. The computer is a HP with dual core 64bits intel cpus and the motherboard is supposed to handle until 8GB of RAM, I have currently 2 x 2GB installed.
I thought it might have been a problem from the live CD and I proceeded to install, but still same problem, only 3.4GB recognized. Most threads I have found mention the PAE kernel but from what I understand this only applies to 32bits Fedoras ?

I just upgraded my computer with a couple more sticks of RAM and have it up to 8G now. I duel boot so I know that Vista (64bit) recognizes my 8G, and Memtest86+ recognizes my 8G, but for some reason Fedora 9 (64bit) says it has 3.1 G RAM. Is this a problem with Fedora 9 (64bit) or is it some configuration thing I've missed?

I have problem with onboard ATI ES1000. Server details:
Supermicro X7SBI, Q6600, 8G ram. Centos 5.5 minimal installation, without X.
Problem is that with all kernel-xen x86_64 from current kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.x86_64 back to kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64 after kernel boots monitor goes blank and says "no video, going to power save".
Google finds similar problems and sugestions was to add "nomodeset". With this option monitor also blanks after kernel boot, but says "out of range". Other options to modify xorg.conf does not apply, becouse there is no X installed.
I try with multiple monitors, without success. This happens only with 64bit kernel-xen. All other 32 and 64 bit kernels and 32bit kernel-xen works fine, video is ok. This happens to 6 servers, all are same hardware, used as cluster. Installation with "linix text" allways is fine, video disappears after first reboot when standart kernel is booted. I also tryed with almost all possible "vga=xxxx" kernel options and none of them works.
What else to try?

When i use my computer (whether it's going online, typing, playing a flash game, or coding) I get these "Black Flashes" that are becoming longer and more frequent. A "Black Flash" is when my computer screen turns blank (but you can still see the backlight) and i have to press the NUMpad ENTER button, shake my mouse furiously, or click my mouse, which sometimes causes undesired actions, but gets me my screen back. sometimes the Black Flashes last a milisecond or 5 seconds or i have to hold the power button and restart because it won't come back on.

Ubuntu Karmic Koala
2.39 GB of RAM

I have the simple fortran codes as:
Code:
integer :: i1=2455121, i2=2455121
real :: s1=0.19123840, s2=0.20749992
real*8 :: a1, a2
a1=i1+s1; a2=i2+s2
[Code]....
When s1 and s2 are stated with 'real*8', the 64bit and 32bit systems get the same results.

Can anyone get the website below to work correctly with Firefox 3.5 and F11 64bit?[URL]...All I see is the background scrolling slowly and jerkily, none of the buttons at the bottom work. Reboot into Windows 7 and IE8: the same site is fast, smooth, the buttons work and the product details appear correctly in the centre of the screen.
I've tried disabling all adblock /pop up block options, ensured all javascript options are enabled and no change. Could this be a problem with the 64 bit flash player (installed from leigh's sticky thread) or a problem with OpenJDK?
