Public bug reported:
After installing 14.04 x64, I needed to install the media-included
proprietary driver to use my wifi. Unfortunately, after enabling the
install media as a software source in Software & Updates, I was still
unable to install the package as it could not locate the install media.
It informed me that it could not find the dvd in /media/cdrom/. I
discovered that Ubuntu had automatically mounted the dvd on
/media/$USER/ instead. Using terminal I mounted the media to
/mount/cdrom/, at which point I was able to proceed normally.
If the dvd is going to be mounted to /media/$USER/, then I'd assume the
project manager should be searching there instead of /media/cdrom/.
Currently installing packages from the DVD requires the dvd to be
manually mounted to /media/cdrom/ in the terminal. (I have not had a
chance to try to replicate this on another machine yet)
