Ubuntu :: CD/DVD Drive Not Accessible?
Jun 13, 2011
I am a complete Linux/Ubuntu Noob and researched the issue and came up with nothing. I cannot figure out how to access my CD/DVD drive. Places >> Computer shows nothing and neither do any of the sub components. I don't know enough about the console to try to access the drive from there. Every time a user gets close to a solution (to my knowledge), contributors stop replying and the years roll on.
I have tried:
Code:
eyesonyou@ubuntu:/dev$ dir cd*
cdrom cdrw
eyesonyou@ubuntu:/$ cdrom@
cdrom@: command not found
[Code].....

I just installed Fedora 12 and after booting up to Gnome, I put in my install DVD and it says no media is detected. When I view the hardware on the system, it lists my DVD drive. I had the same problem in Fedora 9. I assumed it was a bug in the system and always used my laptop to download and burn media (Fedora 11). I can't burn to empty media or read data from a readable disc.

I have a Western Digital 1TB USB Drive. It is detected,but can only be seen and accessed by the first user account that logs in after boot. If I right click "My Book" (the name of the drive) then look at permissions it says that the permissions are unknown. I looked around and could find nothing about this problem. I did find some information about udev and saw a mention that you could use it to set permissions. However when I try to input the command the terminal gives me a command unknown, then asks if I want to install udev, I say yes and am then told that udev is installed. I found the command to update udev, but it says that updates are not needed. Help I want this drive to be at least readable by all users, and it would be nice if I could allow write access only to me. I did do a "dmesg" right after I plugged this drive in

I've been using it for a couple of years, it has been mounted various ways and into various places, for the past year under Suse 11.2
Suddenly I discover that it's not accessible in Windows anymore. Drive gets an assigned letter but can't be opened. Tried on Windows 7 and Windows Xp.
This is the current fstab line:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Seagate_FreeAgentDesktop_3QK0A0N7-0:0-part1/home/stan/Seagatentfs-3gdefaults,locale=en_US.UTF-800
Drive is owned by the root but permissions are set for everybody.
This is ls -l line for it's mount point
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8192 2010-07-16 21:48 Seagate
Another weird thing about it is that if I try to copy a folder into it Dolphin gives me "can't create directory" error and then hangs. If I restart Dolpin I see that the folder has been created just fine and I can copy anything into this new folder without any problems, including creating any sub-folders.
That weirdness doesn't exist if I run Dolphin as a superuser.
I would create a separate thread for this issue if there's no connection.
For now I believe something screwed up the part where Windows reads what file system it is.
Is there a way to "unscrew" it and make sure that NTFS looks ok to Windows, too?
Backing up 750 GB drive and reformatting it is not an option in the near future and I occasionally need to take the drive and plug it into friends' Windows.

I've a flash drive that it's partitions formatted as fat32, ex4 and encrypted ext4. It works fine on the system that I've formatted it on, but when I try to use it on my other Linux distributions I get these problems:
* ext4 partition accessible by root only.
* after entering my pass-phrase I get
Code: /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-***** uid1000 is mounted What I'm asking for is a way to create the ext4 file system without being attached to some UID and to be accessible by any user.

I have a fat32 disk plugged into my mobo on my desktop machine. It has no o/s installed and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live to access and retrieve the data on that disk.
Code:
fdisk -l
shows the disk as being a Windows 95 fat32 file system disk

I'm having an issue setting up users for file sharing. In Ubuntu 10.04 (which is awesome btw) I right click the file, and share it on the network. I can see it right away on other machine, and login using the main user account on the server, no problem. I get an issue when I try to login to the share using additional account I setup. I get to the login screen, and it seems to accept the username and password as being valid (it doesn't bring up the login screen again), instead it brings up a error message saying it's unable to mount the share. It seems so much like a permission issue. I don't want to grant all kinds of access for these users, what do I do?

I download something all the files and folders have root permission. So I can't do anything. I can change them all to have permission for me but it takes like an hour for one download. How do I make EVERYTHING accessible to me?

My firefox bookmark and history is not accessible, instead a message is shown at the top of firefox window. The message reads:
Browser Startup Error
The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem. And it links to this mozilla page. How to find the error?

2. LAMP installed
3. Using an ADSL modem to connect to internet, make is "Nokia Siemens Residential Router 1600"
4. Modem LAN settings are as shown in the attachment picture.
5. So mostly my laptop is assigned the ip ranging from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.10 as the router use NAT.
6. http://localhost, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 or whatever my ip is, work fine to see my default Apache homepage in locally connected devices.
7. The IP which I find from [URL] should connect to my Apache homepage but instead it connects to my Router Interface/Configure panel as shown in image attached.
What I want:
1. My Apache home page accessible to outside world via my dynamic ip.

I have setup Samba shares on my Ubuntu 10.10 and assigned different different username and password combination for each share.
The sharing works perfectly fine on all the Windows machines but it does not work on OSX. When I try to connect using OSX, it ends up showing waiting icon (screenshot attached) after entering username and password. (It asks for the login details after selecting the share from the list)
Following is my smb file content:

I'm a new user of Ubuntu. I requested the Ubuntu 9.10 cd online and got it in around 3 weeks. I've chosen the 'Install over windows' option for my use right now. The version of windows being 'Windows 7'. The problem is that I'm unable to connect to the internet. I'm using LAN cord to connect to my modem. The 'Network Manager' tht the user manual talks about, is not to be found yet. When I click on the 'Network' icon on the top right portion of the panel, it shows that 'autoeth0' is connected but when I open firefox and try to open any website, the 'Server not found' comes up on the firefox window. Thus I'm not able to surf the web.

I have used Linux in various versions for a while. I am tasked with "resurrecting" older PC's for a "thrift" shop here. I load Linux and Open Office on them. I have a PC now that had Xubuntu loaded on it that worked fine. I had to load Ubuntu 9.1 on it as I did not have the passwords. The system loaded fine from a CD. When I boot the system now and look at the computer's resources, I see the hard disk, the CD drive, and the DVD drive. However, when I place a CD or DVD in either of the drives, that drive disappears.If I place the Ubuntu CD in the drive it will boot fine.

I've been flipping through distros a lot lately, trying to find which one best suits me. I like Ubuntu quite a bit.
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop pc and I'm having and issue with shared folders. I set up a test share by right clicking on Documents in my home folder, and clicking on Sharing Options. Then I checked the box to "Share this folder" and the box to "allow others to create and delete files in this folder". I click "Create Share" and in a new window, it prompts me for nautilus to add permissions automatically. So I allow it to do that.
Then, from a Virtualbox Ubuntu machine, I can access the share and do everything I want to do (view, create, modify files). However, once I reboot my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, that has the shared folder on it, it's no longer shared when I log in and check on it.
The sharing emblem has disappeared from the folder icon, but if I go into Sharing Options, the boxes are still checked. If I simply unshare and re-share the folder, it gets the sharing emblem again and the Ubuntu virtual box can access it again.

I set up a mail server today. Everything works except I can't access the damn squirrelmail web interface from the internet.
I followed this guide here: [URL]
I can access http://192.168.0.50/squirrelmail just fine from a computer on my local network.
*BUT*
When I access http://mywanip/squirrelmail, i get a connection timeout.
When I access http://mywanip, I get the standard Apache "IT WORKS!" Page. (Rules out port forwarding)
According to the guide, that should allow me to access squirrelmail from the internet on my server. Its as if Squirrelmail is only available on my local interface and not on my wan interface? How do I check?

For some reason, all the computers on my network can't reach each other via their host names. For example, the ping command doesn't recognize host names:
Code:
$ ping file-server
PING file-server (208.68.139.89) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- file-server ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 19152ms However, ping works fine if I use IP addresses instead. I would put the address for "file-server" in my /etc/hosts file, except for the fact that DHCP changes it's address occasionally.I attempted changing the line
send host-name "<host-name>";
in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to
send host-name "file-server";
but to no avail.

I've setup openVPN using bridging following these guides
[URL]
I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.10 My clients can connect and get their own IP within my ip range (192.168.1.x) They can ping each other and I've tested I can use the connection a lan game and a windows RDP connection. The problem is I cannot access any of the actual local network devices except the vpnServer. Is their something else that needs to be done to allow full network access?

We have a development server not accessible to the public used for testing which was setup for us. When attempting to have my PHP scripts upload an image to a folder, I have to CHMOD the folder to 777. Ideally, when a folder is created it has permissions set to 755 - I want to be able to upload to them. Is there a way to change permissions to allow the PHP scripts that run to be able to write to a folder? I know it has something to do with owner or group, but I don't know where to start.

I have a website on a standalone Ubuntu server (using virtual host). I can access the site from 3 different Macs using Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I can access the site from my Mac using virtual Windows XP Pro in VirtualBox. But I cannot access the site from any Windows machine on the LAN, and it's frustrating I cannot get to it with name resolution nor with IP address.Here are some of my related configs:
In sites-available (also in sites-enabled)
mywebsite.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/mywebsite
ServerName mywebsite
ServerAlias *mywebsite
Directory /var/www/mywebsite
</VirtualHost>
[Code]...
Does anyone know why I can get my site on Macs, but not Windows?

I want to create a combined portable Ubuntu / USB stick.For this I intend to install Ubuntu to my 16 GB USB Drive. I am going to install some rather big programs (Matlab, Maple...) and therefor, I think the 4 GB persistent space in different startup-USB creators are to small.Because of this, I want to install Ubuntu to the USB drive, to get full functionallity. Also because of the small USB Drive size, I dont want to create two different partitions. For USB Drive use, I want to be able to save files larger then 4 GB (ie. not FAT32).
How can I create a fully functional Ubuntu USB, that can also be accessed from Windows? I understand that NTFS and Ubuntu is a bad mix, FAT32 have file size restrictions, and Windows cant accesss ext3/4.I saw someone talk about installing Ubuntu using the 'install in windows' to bypass Ubuntu-NTFS problems, but the link was broken, and I could not see how it was done. Also this [URL] talked about making the home folder accessible, but the linked site is now down.

It resides at 65.211.112.135 There are numerous domain names on this ip [URL]s Those are a few of them. Now if you try to ping 65.211.112.135 it does not respond, if you ping "www.barrierfree.us" it says pinging 65.211.112.135 but it also does not respond. BUT if you point your browser to one of the above domain names it will work, but it is quite slow.
