 |
|
Sometime recently I started having a problem with my Plextor DVDR PX-712A: It no longer automatically mounts when I put a non-blank DVD+RW disk in the device. I thought it might be an issue with KDE, but now I don't think so.
The device otherwise functions correctly. K3B sees it and writes to it with no problem. It even auto selects the best writing speed for the inserted media.
KDE sees the device, but responds to inserted media as "blank" even when there is content on the media.
If I pmount the device (/dev/sr0) from a shell, it mounts exactly as my fstab specifies: | Code: | | /dev/sr0 /mnt/opticalDrive auto user,noexec,noauto,gid=users 0 0 |
Then Konqueror has no trouble seeing the content of the media.
I captured some dmesg lines that I believe are relevant. When I insert non-blank media in the device I get the messages: | Code: | cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! |
When I pmount the device, I get: | Code: | ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! |
But immediately afterwards I can ls the mount point successfully: | Code: | pegasus home # ls -ltr /mnt/opticalDrive
total 4163530
-r--r--r-- 1 root users 4263454720 Nov 22 14:39 22-home.tar |
And the media is fully visible from KDE.
Dbus and hal are installed and appear to be operating correctly. Dbus version is: 0.62-r1; Hal version is: 0.5.7; Pmount version is: 0.9.9; Udev version is: 103.
Any insight into this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

| This issue appears to have been resolved by updating HAL to 0.5.7.1-r3 and Dbus to 1.0.2. |
