Hi!

I can't use my DVD.

There is no response when DVD is inserted (something like automount confirmation).

And when I want to mount it shows this:

Code:
# mount /dev/dvd /mnt/cdrom/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock


I have this symlinks:

Code:
# ls -ls /dev/cdr* /dev/dvd*
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-01-10 04:24 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-01-10 04:24 /dev/cdrw -> sr0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-01-10 04:24 /dev/dvd -> sr0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-01-10 04:24 /dev/dvdrw -> sr0


There is only one DVD drive, lshw shows this:

Code:
product: DVD+-RW SDVD8820
vendor: PHILIPS
bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/cdrom
logical name: /dev/cdrw
logical name: /dev/dvd
logical name: /dev/dvdrw
logical name: /dev/scd0
logical name: /dev/sr0
version: AD15
capabilities:
   support is removable,
   Audio CD playback,
   CD-R burning,
   CD-RW burning,
   DVD playback,
   DVD-R burning
configuration:
   ansiversion: 5
   status: ready


What can I do to solve it?

Thank you[/b]

I'm assuming that you've tried this with multiple DVDs to rule out the disk as a factor. On another note what of permissions. Is the dvd set to user mounting or is sr0 available for users. The permissions shown suggest root only.

he's mounting it as root :P

I'm wondering if it's an encrypted dvd maybe?

possibly merge libdvdcss and vlc, add user to 'video' group, and do the 'open disc' dialog in vlc?

only thing i can think of offhand
