Hi,
I have a problem reading some CD's burned in Windows in Kde Neon (stable user version).

If I put the CD in a PC with Xubuntu 18.04, it reads fine with Nautilus.
If I put the CD in a PC with Kubuntu 20.04 or Kubuntu 18.04 or KDE Neon, I can't read the CD, the information I get is that the CD is empty and to use K3B to burn it.

However, I can mount the CD in command line and access all information without any problem.

Is this a plasma Problem ?

Thank you.

No one to help in solving this problem?

You need to be a bit more specific. What type of CD are you burning? Audio, MP3, iso image??
Also what program are you using in Windows to burn the CD?
Is it all CDs or just 1? etc.....
The more info you can give the more likely you are to get a reply.

Hello and thanks for the reply

It is a data cd.
The CD is not mine, it was recorded by someone else, I don't know which program was used to make the recording.

It doesn't happen with all CDs, just a few.

When I insert the CD into the player and at the command line I type dmesg, I get the following information:

Code: Select all

[13176.724211] sr0: detected capacity change from 1073741312 to 89264128

The plasma "Device Notification" informs me that it is an empty CD and to use k3b to copy

This happens with KDE Neon and Kubuntu both in version 18.04 and also in 20.04

With Xubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 the CD is read correctly.

The only way I can read the CD in KDE is to mount it manually from the command line.

I'm struggling to replicate your issue. I only have a few Data CDs, but all are detected & open properly using the Device Notifier.
After Googling though I found this 5 year old post where others have had the same issue. Sadly no one posted a fix though.

This was exactly the solution I adopted.
I hope that a developer solves this problem permanently.
Thank you for your help

Are you sure the disk was finalized? If it wasn't finalized it will only be readable in a Windows PC.
