Hallo I have a problem mounting a CD or a DVD in openSuSE 11.3 and KDE 4.4.4
I have been reading forum for a while, but I cannot figure out how to solve it, the only thing I know is a bug in KDE (or maybe not)

So this is the fact:
Yesterday I could mount (automatically mount) video DVDs and music CDs without problems and play it with VLC or other but I could not mount data CDs. To solve the problem I decided to install xine and lame library (as suggested from some posts). Now I cannot mount DVD and CD at all!.
I have tried almost everything I read in posts with no success:
Here is the result of some command that could clarify (to you hopefully) my problem:

Code: Select all

$ ls /dev -l | grep cd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root       root           3 2011-02-15 21:44 cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root       root           3 2011-02-15 21:44 cdrw -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root       root           3 2011-02-15 21:44 scd0 -> sr0

omegatre:/home/franco # cat /dev/scd0
cat: /dev/scd0: No medium found

I added a line in fstab but no success:

Code: Select all

/dev/sr0     /media/cdrom auto        noauto,rw,users    0 0

I edited the .fdi file in such a way:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.udi" string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRAM_GSA_4082B">                                     
      <merge key="storage.media_check_enabled"
type="bool">true</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>


Code: Select all

omegatre:/home/franco # solid-hardware query 'IS OpticalDisc'

Hope this will give you an idea..

This looks like a problem with your CD/DVD reader (i.e. hardware), at least from what the kernel log tells me.

I will try to install Ubuntu on the disk and see if the CD/DVD driver is working. Do you mean I need to buy a new driver?

That's a distinct possibility. It could also mean that the laser lens is dirty and needs just some cleaning, though.
