Situation is that NEITHER Linux Mint 9 NOR Ubuntu Maverick will automount my usb or cdrom? I circumvented by manual mounts thru fstab of my usb stick and usb hard drive. Now I go to burn an iso and find that my cdrom is not detected.
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 does not do the trick, I cannot burn.
What in the world could I have done to my system ? I think blkid is ok. Win7 burns the iso to cd just fine. All OS on same CPU (grub2). I have done some searches but with minimal success.
I am using Suse since 6.5. I am no linux-expert, just power-user for years (no windows, no MAC OS X) at 3 computers at home and at work.
I just did two bare-bone-installs from up-to-date dvds with opensuse 11.3 at two almost identical Dell Inspirion 6400-Laptops. Clear, flawless installation without any workarounds... Same install at a Dell Desktop Computer without any problems. Automatic updating.
But both Laptops are having problems to read and show inserted data-cdroms. Knowing from the old versions and the new opensuse 11.3 at the desktop-PC what should happen, I have no clue what to do.
It is definitely no technical problem: - the name of the inserted data-cdrom can be seen in k3b - inserted dvds are triggering the correct action (!) (suggestions are shown what to do with the dvd; cdrom: no results, no suggestions, just a short and proper working of the cd-device itself can be heart) - the data-cdrom can be mounted manually
What did not help: - inserting a data-cdrom as root - changing the permissions of non-root-users - several updates of opensuse 11.3 - reading several forums (the answers go into the directions newbee-who-does-not-know-how-openuse-works, wrong-installation, wrong-updating-of-an-old-opensuse-version, geek-how-screwed-up-his-installation-with-manual-wrongdoings => nothing which helps in my situation)
This is my hardware-info about the cdrom/dvd-device:
Opensuse 11.2, KDE 4.3.5I have read many articles on this forum & on the web but I am still not able to automount a data CD (I haven't tried audio yet).
I created a directory /media/cdrom I added my user name to group disk & cdrom. I added the following line to fstab (my drive is an ide cdwriter): /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom auto auto,user,rw 0 0
If I put a cd in the drive there is lots of action of the read light but nowhere within KDE that I can find to access the CD. Is it possible that making a change to 'device actions' in 'configure desktop' is what I need to do? If so, what do I enter or change?From terminal the command 'mount' does not show it mounted. At this point I can manually mount the cd.Also note that in YaST it shows up in the hardware list after probing hardware but it does not appear anywhere else in YaST (and I don't know if it is supposed to show up).
I have an Ubuntu server running Samba and I would like to share out the cdrom drive to the network. I made a share of the /media directory and it seems to work fine when I insert USB drives and I am able to browse and work with files. However, when I insert a cdrom it automatically mounts to /media/<volume name> and I get a permission denied error when I attempt to access it over the network. I am assuming this is happening because the permissions do not include the execute bit and being a read only file system I can not change this. I made the directory /media/cdrom and manually mounted the cdrom to it and I can successfully access it over the network just like the USB drives. So my question is: Is there a way to make the cdrom automatically mount and unmount to /media/cdrom when I insert and eject disks instead of to /media/<volume name>? Or maybe just have the permissions automatically set so Samba users can open it instead of just see it.
Code: allen@heavy:/etc$ uname -a Linux heavy 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux FAT: IO charset ISO-8859-1 not found I just recently installed Xubuntu 9.10 on my old acer Aspire 3000. Previously I was running Debian 5. Something it was great and all but I wanted to try out the "New Hotness" that is Xubuntu. The install went flawless and as far as Linux distro's go this is by far the most impressive. However, I have this problem with my USB storage devices not mounting. When I plug them in they show up and everything looks like its about to work when I get this: [URL] A quick jaunt over to dmesg:
Code: # [ 2950.184072] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 # [ 2950.320178] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice # [ 2950.326192] scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices # [ 2950.326513] usb-storage: device found at 6 # [ 2950.326519] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning # [ 2955.324403] usb-storage: device scan complete .....
I've been all over google, in multiple irc rooms asking questions, and I cant seem to get anywhere. I can mount the devices manually with mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mountpoint. They mount themselves when I plug them in.
Recently my Kubuntu Jaunty installation has taken to not mounting previously OK DVDs.
What I see upon insertion of a disc is the automount fail:
This persists across discs and across reboots.
I looked around the net and I at least found some evidence of the "unaligned transfer" problem; supposedly this happens when something tries to access the drive before it's ready, and (at least for some kernels) can get the responsible module in a permanently confused state. However, I'm not accessing the disc manually, some automounter or something is accessing it -- I don't even know what.
I'm using Kubuntu Jaunty with KDE 4.3.2. Kernel string from bootup:
I have been trying plop floppy to boot a bootable cdrom from a mobile USB cdrom reader, but the usb cdrom are not recognized.I was thinking that with grub or grub2 or syslinux that would be possible, no ?
I'm using a software that needs to read data from a cdrom. The instructions say to mount the cdrom (mount /mnt/cdrom). I understand that I need to mount the cdrom to /mnt/cdrom. I created a folder "cdrom" under "mnt". Then I tried to mount the cdrom by typing:
sudo mount /media/ /mnt/cdrom/ This didn't work. Under "media" I have another folder with the actual cd content so I tried to mount it too, but again with no success. I keep getting an error that "media is not a block device". What I am doing wrong?
whenever i try to burn mp3 from a disk in the cdrom, the system will freeze up solid, keyboard, screen, mouse, the whole shebang. ubuntu will see an audio disk in the cdrom, and i can play some tracks off it (sometimes), but trying to copy it to mp3s will crash everything after about 2-3 minutes. somewhere between tracks 2 - 4. anyone else have issues? i have tried a different cdrom, and cables... and i hate to say it but it works under windows.
I can NOT mount my CDROM. I see several under the /dev folder cdrom, cdrw, dvd, scd0, src, how do I kow which drive to mount? I would like to load KDE fom a slackware disk,
My cdrom drive was working until yesterday it didn't mount at all. It said 'special device /dev/scd0 does not exist'. I went and checked in BIOS and the CD rom was not identified there as well I would like to know if there is a workaround for this problem. I am using an ACER aspire 4520 laptop with only ubuntu 9.10 on i
I cannot seem to find what I need to in either these forums, Ubuntu help, or various Man pages.Issue:When I insert a CD it automounts correctly, but I cannot Use the "Open with Wine" option (even after configuring wine to recognize the executable) due to a "trust" issue within Ubuntu. I have learned that this "trust" is simply the executable bit, but I obviously cannot change that bit on a read only medium. he software requires the CD at both install and run time, so I cannot use a separately mounted ISO.Somewhere there must be a setting where I can turn off the "require trust flag" which I assume must exist.
I am trying to install MySQL, Apache, and PHP onto my Linux Ubuntu laptop from a cdrom that I got from a teach yourself MySQL, Apache, and PHP book I bought. First off there were two steps which i think i did right. The first was to mount the CD-ROM under /mnt in my file system which i did and there seems to be no problem except for the reply "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only"
now first of all there are two things I need to explain, first of all I was superuser for all of this by using the command su at the beginning of my terminal session. Second of all the symbol "|" on my line of code above looks different from the symbol in the book. It should have a small space in the middle of it. However it looks like this on my keyboard so I am assuming it is simply a difference in text font. That is it, it would be really nice to figure out what went wrong because to be honest I am curious as to why the book is giving me code that gives multiple errors.
I'm writing for my brother who was running Karmic on a Microtel desktop.He'd been having trouble with blank cds (data cds and dvds didn't cause this problem) crashing his box so he uninstalled and then installed udev package.Now when he tries to boot the box goes into a memory test and then reboots into the memory test over and over. He tried to check the installed kernels to choose one that might boot but there are none listed (he pressed "esc" to see the list-it's empty).He tried booting from a live cd and that won't work either. The cd drive spins but nothing else.
When I run the command: "sudo apt-get install build essential autconf automake libxmu -dev" I go the following error: "E: Package autoconf has no installation candidate" In the cd-rom there is no any autconf package.
For not apparent reason, yesterday PCmanFM stopped showing CDROM on the list of mountable devices. Before, it was being listed every time I put some written cd/dvd in it.
I don't think fstab has anything to do with it since there was no change to it AND I know for a fact that the line in fstab for cdrom since 5 months is actually wrong.
I managed to boot from hard disk, everything works ok. But Gparted has a bug, it works in Live Hard Disk, but not when I click the install icon because it can't umount /cdrom. But I solved that by formatting ext4 and swap area from gnome-panel Live Hard Disk and only put mount point / after click on install.But problem stroked back: install is not possible because it wants to umount itself before installing, wich cannot be possible. I'm installing it in a new place /dev/sda5. Live Hard Disk is booting from /dev/sda3.
