There is a similar bug report for the PowerPC Ubuntu port located here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/590448
In my case, forcing udev to poll for media immediately after it is loaded or ejected properly mounts the media and has the DVD or CD show up on the desktop. I currently do this by opening my CD/DVD/RW drive (which lshw shows as being at /dev/hde) using the following code: eject -T && udisks --poll-for-media /dev/hde I stuck it in a simple shell script that I can call from a panel applet when I need to load or eject a CD or DVD. -- [Lucid] cdrom drive not recognized automatically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
