Ubuntu :: CD/DVD Drive Not Working
Dec 26, 2010I have a Dell XPS 1530 that came with Ubuntu pre-installed. I've upgraded to the Ubuntu 10.10 and have used it without issues for months. It has been a great laptop. However, I recently noticed that the built-in CD/DVD drive no longer auto-mounts disks. I can boot off the CD/DVD drive just fine, but if I boot the laptop off the hard drive and try to pop in a CD or DVD, the disk is not auto-mounted and the following error appears in the system log:
gvfsd-cca[2423]: segfault at fffffffe ip 001c2e21 sp b7660b10 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[152000-157000]
I also get an error dialog: Unable to mount Audio disc: Dbus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply Message did not receive a reply (timeout by messagebus)

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Can't Boot From Working CD Drive
Dec 21, 2010I am trying to a friend setup his computer to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. While the CD drive works (and can burn cds, rip cds, play cds, etc with no noticible impairment of function), it is unresponsive before the Operating System is loaded. What I mean is that when we put in a bootable cd (we've tried Ubuntu, Windows 7, Puppy Linux, gparted, Windows Recovery Disk) and go through the boot menu right after the computer manufacturer screen (HP), and select CD-Rom Drive, the screen goes black with the exception of a blinking white cursor. The computer will boot from the hard drive, and we managed to boot and install Ubuntu from a flash drive just fine.
Is there any reason why a CD drive might do this? It once, years ago, had a large amount of soda spilled in it, but I would imagine if anything was broken hardware-wise, the drive just wouldn't work at all. I don't know that much about hardware (or anything, really), but the only thing I could think of is that it could have something to do with an OS loading a more complete set of drivers than the BIOS.
Ubuntu Installation :: Floppy Drive Not Working?
Jun 15, 2011Every time I need to use the floppy drive, I again find it not working.I have reported this problem before, and it has been fixed before, several times.It is broken again.Clicking on the "Floppy Drive" item in Nautilus does not even access the drive.Right clicking and selecting "Detect Media" at least spins the disk, but gives the same non-results regardless of whether there is a disk in the drive.With no disk in the drive this happens:
Code:
$ sudo mount /dev/fd0

Feb 27, 2010I have an external drive which is parted into two partitions:
1) ext4, with filesystem ext4 which I use for backup
2) NTFS with filesystem NTFS
Since I re-installed jaunty the NTFS partition is owned by root. Whatever I do to make it change, it doesn't work. I used:
sudo chown jan:jan NTFS
sudo chown -R jan:jan NTFS
Still it says the owner is root and also the group is root. What else do I need to do to make me owner of this partition? The fileproperties say: drwxrwxrwx Still the partition is read only for me. In ntfs-config it says: "Enable write support for external drive"

Ubuntu Networking :: Auto Mount Of USB Drive Not Working Via Ssh?
Nov 13, 2010I have this ubuntu machine that lives under my desk and is basically a utility machine. Mainly I ssh to it and get synchronize/backup files, etc.
When I reboot, for some reason the auto mount for my usb drives doesn't work until I actually hook up the monitor and log in to the gui. When I ssh in after reboot, I'm unable to access my USB drives! "Not Authorized"
I'm not sure how to mount a drive from the command line... really I just want the machine to auto mount the drives when it starts up... gui login or no.

Jun 20, 2010I have an Asus K501J, which I've had for about eight months and have always had ubuntu on. Periodically this problem comes up: I put a DVD in the disk drive, and the drive spins for a couple of seconds, then stops and that's it. Can't find the disk under places, can't open files with video programs like vlc. The disk ejects fine, but it's as if the laptop doesn't believe there's anything in the drive. This problem seemed to go away after I updated to Ubuntu 10.04, but now it's back. Before the upgrade I took it to my computer expert friend, but (like some other laptop problems) it never seems to manifest in his presence
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: USB Drive Not Working - Renders System Unusable
Jul 26, 2011I formatted a 1.5 Tb western digital external usb drive to ext4 for media streaming on ubuntu-server. I tried FAT32/NTFS before but it keeps unmounting itself for no reason. I tried everything I could find on Google but no luck. After formatting it to ext4, it worked OK for a while but for some reason it has stopped working. Running mount -a makes system unusable indefinitely. It works only if I restart it.
UUID=db261dd6-2edf-4020-a0f5-17613a6e94ea /media/wd ext4 defaults 0 0
Is ext4 not a compatible format for external drive? Since, I have I tried different formats and Ubuntu keeps unmounting them. Should I try a different distro?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian Hardware :: CD Drive No Longer Working
Oct 21, 2010I'm having an issue with my cd drive. It was working perfectly fine the last time I used it, a few weeks ago. It no longer spins up when I insert a cd it sounds like the laser keeps readjusting itself or something. The BIOS picks up the drive just fine, in the right place with the name.Nothing seems to have changed there. I think its a software issue and not a hardware one because I haven't touched the case or anything inside since I cleaned a month ago. I tried installing kvm and qemu a few weeks ago. However my hardware doesn't support it so I removed it. Could one of these programs have broken something? Is there a system log file this type of thing.

Fedora Hardware :: Kingston 2GB Flash Drive Not Working?
Dec 20, 2010I am running a 32-bit Fedora 11 OS (in GNOME).
My 2GB Kingston Flash Drive is plugged into my hp pavilion dv6000; the light on the flash drive is on but there is no icon on my desktop, and it is also missing from the 'Places' tab.
After typing fdisk -l I receive the following message:
Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000d7c32

I've plugged in the drive to different USB slots to no avail. I also plugged in my e-reader to see if my USB slots were malfunctioning, but the e-reader was detected by Fedora.
I have plugged the thumb drive into my Windows 7 Desktop PC with the hope of the OS recognizing the drive, but the result is the same as in my laptop.
Fedora Hardware :: F15: DVDs Drive Not Working Correctly?
Jun 24, 2011My DVD-ROM drive seems to have issues under Fedora 15.This is the "normal" spin with GNOME3, all updates have been installed.First off, the drive seems to get "stuck" will not eject any media once inserted.Occaisionally, if I just keep pressing the eject button, the media tray will jump out, but then will immediately pull itself back in without any interaction from me.Second issue: video DVDs do not mount. It does not seem to matter if libdvdcss is installed or not. When a DVD video disc is inserted, the DVD drive completely disappears from Nautilus' Computer window. Once I eject the DVD (after pressing eject 50 times) the drive comes back to the Computer window.The drive is a Plextor DVD-RW PX-755SA connected via SATAI have tried using either regular IDE or AHCI configuration in the BIOS for it, no change either way.The drive works fine under Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, but I like F15 better and would like to get this fixed.

Jun 11, 2010I have like a month using the KDE 4.4 from factory without problems since a month to now, but suddenly, since yesterday KDE doesnt mount my DVDs or CDs in my internal drive, and of course, doesnt burn anything, so i was wondering if this has something to do with the fact that im using factory or its a known bug or what should i check? I have dual boot in this computer, and in win the drives works without problem.
Should i go back to KDE 4.3.5? If you need some output or something tellme, all i can say know is that appears an error when i excute the command "eject" about something going wrong with ioclt... But it appears some times, and others dont.
