we're at karmic and still the same, however: I figured how to "fix" it once.. problem being that audio-cds don't really have a file-system (you read them raw)..
the fix consisted of killing the polling of the drive (devicekit-disk- daemon), which removes the "Unable to mount Audio Disk" error boxes. Then simply use an app that plays audio CDs (i used VLC) and feed it the device node (/dev/cdrom). however that doesn't seem to always do it.. this time i get a no-medium error when sudo cat-ing the device - which sounds like a kernel error (it's not the disc i tried switching) suggestion from http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2008-April/019916.html You need to rebuild libcdio with paranoia support, then rebuild gvfs with CDDA support. However, this error is benign, and will not prevent you from being able to listen to or rip audio CDs. however gvfs-backends depends on libcdio-cdda0 and libcdio-paranoia0 (but which doesn't mean it's compiled in) over at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/audio-cds-wont-play-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-8.04-639041/ it's suggested to put the user into the haldaemon group and reboot. not working either. helpless :( -- audio cd not recognised https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
