Guest cevion Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 When I insert a cd/dvd nothing shows up in /media/cdrom. I have tried multiple cds and dvds but nothings shows up. I'm having no problems with usb and I'm running 2008.1 32 bit version if this have any relevance. Help would be appreciated Thanks beforehand [moved from Software by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Can you open a console and then type the following: su (enter root password when prompted) mount so we can see if anything has mounted automatically, as it normally should to if the cd-rom is recognised. Also, try: dmesg | grep /dev so we can see if the device has been recognised by the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cevion Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 /dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime) none on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime) /dev/sda1 on /mnt/windows type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) is what i got from mount. dmesg | grep /dev didn't result in anything.

ianw1974 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Can you try: dmesg | grep -i cd this is the results mine gives: [root@esprit ~]# dmesg | grep -i cd hda: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: EHCI Host Controller ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: debug port 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: irq 193, io mem 0xe4800000 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: EHCI Host Controller ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: debug port 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: irq 50, io mem 0xe4808000 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 ohci_hcd: 2005 April 22 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: irq 177, io base 0x00004020 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: irq 185, io base 0x00004040 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: irq 50, io base 0x00004060 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 6 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: irq 58, io base 0x00004080 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: UHCI Host Controller uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 7 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: irq 193, io base 0x000040a0 usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 hda: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 usb 6-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 you can see from the very first line that it shows "hda" at the beginning. Therefore, for me, my device would be /dev/hda for my CD-ROM on my system. Let's check yours, so we can then have a go at mounting a CD manually to see if we can browse later.

I gave mesg | grep /dev a second try and I got something this time around Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=6c25e8f8-517f-11dd-9ee3-a3ba5c9c2f1f resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent vga=788 Adding 4088500k swap on /dev/sda6.

ianw1974 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 OK, so also your computer is /dev/hda for your CD-ROM drive as well. You can't modify content on a DVD/CD unless you are using a burning application like K3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cevion Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I meant in a burning application but I jumped the gun on that one as I thought it couldn't see any of the content as nothing showed up. I then realised I was actually searching for k3b project In conclusion: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) If you want to modify the contents of a CD-ROM, save it to your HD as ISO, and then use ISOMaster to edit its contents. Any CD-ROM or DVD is read-only filesystem, and K3B isn't of any use to alter it. Edited August 12, 2008 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
