related/dup bugs bug #1084855 udev is creating symlinks for optical drives incorrectly bug #1098323 Parole failes to play DVD bug #237874 kaffeine refers to "/dev/dvd bug #1248194 Gnome-Mplayer cannot play commercial videos: Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd bug #1295561 /dev/dvd doesn't exist
affected apps: Gnome-Mplayer, kaffeine, xine, gxine, (totem) Videos, vlc ... they all expect /dev/dvd and are broken without it. How can you say that udev should not support /dev/dvd unless you intend to also at the same time coordinate the modification of every single video player program -- all of them -- at the same time. Otherwise all you are delivering is *MAJOR* Breakage of Ubuntu. This affects all flavors of ubuntu... I found this in the 14.04 BETA, but apparently it's been broken since 13.04 (which I never ran due to other bugs), it works fine in 12.04 which has the /dev/dvd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255824 Title: VLC looks for /dev/dvd which does not exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1255824/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
