Hard time getting cdrom, to stay mounted, cant play dvd's,movies or music...arrgh,(knawing on penguin bones)

To contine: but terminal will not accept root password to work as (root) .....but this system should by default see the Cdrom/DVD device all the time without having remount with each use,,, correct ??.. hurry penguin bones..tastes too salty..and hand crank on side of my monitor needs oiling....squeek squeek,,,crunch crunch...

ps : the box for >> Never prompt or start programs media insertion is (unchecked)

ppss : the drive is a HP DVD writer / cd-writer combo ,,,and was used to install,, and during the install repository on the cdrom was used..light comes on when dvd is inserted..flickers and goes to stand bye....whew....

When you use su, you need the root password, which doesn't exist. You can get a root prompt with:

sudo -i

and use:

exit

to end the session. If you want to play a DVD open a media player like VLC and click File -> open disk.

redhand@redhand-DM169A-ABA-A330N:~$ sudo -i mount /dev/cdrom
[sudo] password for redhand:
mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
redhand@redhand-DM169A-ABA-A330N:~$

SO CONCLUSiON DEAR Penguins is....what do i write at termimal to install cdrom that this new 12.04.1 did not put in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab...will it be permenate ,,,,or will i have to do this every time ????? A BUG MAYHAPS DEAR READERS ?? surely programers would never overlook cdrom ,...snicker....

If you want to play DVD movies or CD audio, you don't have to mount the disk, it is accessed raw.

: completed knawing both legs of said penguin 12.04.1---and now starting on rib cage...dipping said penguin bones into salsa to help lower salt content...

If you are mounting a data cd, the you'll need something like:

sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0

And it will mount. When you mount, if the device is not in fstab you need to specify the mount point, otherwise the OS has no idea where to mount to....reading the man page will show you this.

so ubuntu...does not show or ....PRELOAD CDROM...TO keep said device where SOFTWARE can access it freely ???? there is NO AUTORUN..when one puts in a dvd or cd for use...one has to mount cd/dvd each time for use...??? COME ON....R U kidding or just not reading my info ?

Investing in the best welding respirator is necessary for every professional, amateur, and hobbyist welder. It is mostly because welding exposes you to a lot of damaging gasses and fumes emitted while welding.
