I seem to have solved this problem. It doesn't appear to be a bug as much as a configuration error, at least on my machine.
I noticed in a log file, following an X failure, that there was a message that "udftools" hadn't started as there were no suitable devices. Scouting around I found out that my optical device wasn't listed in /etc/default/udftools. Entering my device in the DEVICE="" line and then running "/etc/init.d/udftools" allows me to mount my previously packet written DVD+RW. Will check but I believe that this should also work every time I startup -- DVD+R disc does not mount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
