Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon optical disc problem

bh4l · 10-23-2013, 12:56 PM

Hi @all,

I have Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon installed on my pc.The only problem I have with it is that it can't mount the optical drive (dvd-rw). It can't read "normal" dvds. It can read only the Linux Mint live dvd. When I put a "normal" dvd in dvd-rw it doesn't show anything. When I try to double click it (or right click->Mount) in "Computer" it says "Unable to mount location/Can't mount file". Can any of you help me with this problem? It's kind of urgent as I have some important stuff on the dvd and I need it.

Thank you!

Solved :Not-Amused: .All I had to do was to type,with root permision, the following command "mount /dev/sr0 /media/dvd".I didn't delete the thread because somebody else will have the same problem and doesn't know how to "fix it".
