** Description changed: There may be something quirky about this DVDROM in the way that it was burned, although I was not aware that UNIX file permissions were part of the file format. However, the situation I'm observing should never happen, regardless of what permissions are actually on the disc. When I insert this disc, the system finds it automatically, and I can browse the directories. But when I try to copy a file, it tells me that I don't have permission to do so. When I type 'ls /media/cdrom0/...', I find that the permissions on all files is -rwx------. If I use 'sudo cp ...' to copy a file from it, it works just fine. It's just that the logged-in user cannot access the files. + + + 11/06/09: I wanted to add to the description of this bug as someone who has just begun using Ubuntu. + + I burnt DVDs of all the files I wanted to work with on my Mac and was + unable to access them in Ubuntu, although I can see the folders.
