Slack 13.1 does not recognize mounted CD

igadoter · 06-12-2010, 09:33 PM

I finally manage my ubuntu to recognize media in the device.

For me it was done via change of BIOS setting. I set the S.M.A.R.T mode as 'auto'.

No idea if this help but it may suggest that the problem is related to BIOS settings for device.

I have Xfce here too (Slack64/13.1)
What happens for me is an inserted data DVD or CD will be automounted and thunar will open to it. I also get the desktop device icon. Furthermore, a movieDVD will just start playing once inserted (mplayer auto-plays). But an audio CD won't be automounted/recognized. However, that same Audio CD will be recognized by (for example) Grip (not a stock Slackware app).
Here is my fstab FWIW:

Code:

/dev/darkstar/swap swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/darkstar/root /                ext3        defaults         1   1
/dev/darkstar/home /home            ext3        defaults         1   2
/dev/sde1        /boot            ext3        defaults         1   2
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom       auto        noauto,user,ro  0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
/dev/dvd         /media/dvd         auto        noauto,user	0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0
tmpfs            /dev/shm         tmpfs       defaults         0   0

I just have 1 optical device (combo dvd/cd r/w)

dhubsith, were you able to solve your problem yet?

No, and I'm pretty certain that I am having the same problem as tpreitzel, as discussed here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...so9660-812240/

veeall · 06-14-2010, 05:44 PM

And heres my thread with error messages i had when slack was still in current. Please don't post in it, i'd just like to see the problem get attention it deserves.

This bug was known during -CURRENT and made it into production?

Maybe it's a kernel issue? What kernel is in Ubuntu? If custom, so try to reinstall it and triple-check the configuration

Thank you, has been annoying me for a while I have just downloaded, reinstalled and rebooted to find auto mounting working. Am going to reinstall my cd drive and see if its fixed k3b as well.

Edit

It has fixed k3b as well now i am very happy thanks again.

Audio CDs don't mount like data CDs or DVDs because there is no file system to mount.
The fact that Grip is able to recognize the CD indicates that the system is finding the audio CD. I would be willing to bet that KAudioCreator would recognize the audio CD also if you have it installed.

... BTW, if you (like me!!) don't like KDE, another fine CD ripper for XFCE is asunder:
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.1/audio/asunder/ ...

Can you play the audio CD?
If you put an audio CD in the drive, open a terminal and run:

Code:

mplayer cdda:// -cache 5000

Since you only have 1 cdrom drive, that command should play your audio CD. It does for me.
Also, if you insert an audio CD and fire up xmms, and right-click on the xmms player and select: Play Directory, and navigate to /mnt/cdrom, it should load the tracks on your audio CD and play them.
Hope this helps.

I have reinstalled kernels, libnotify, also checked bios for setting ahci or something, but there were none available for the dvd-drive.

I previously had an impression that dvd-drive dies after waking up from suspend to ram state, but this time it happened while computer was on and drive unused.

I have a fresh Slackware 13.1 installation (both x86_64 and x86_32 on different boxes) and both KDE and Xfce don't have issues automatically mounting video or data DVDs. Audio CDs play fine. However, data CDs don't automount. Only the Slack-32 box (Xfce) pops up the GUI error

Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.HAL.Device.Volume" doesn't exist

The log errors are similar to above. Slackware 12-13 (and SLAMD64 11-12.2) did not have this behavior. Interestingly enough, I have a laptop with Xubuntu 10.04 LTS that has the same problem.

kingbeowulf · 06-15-2010, 10:09 PM

Addenda: I can manually "mount -t iso9660 ..." just fine (this is a home brew CD) and a commercial CD (Civilization IV) automounts just fine. I'm now thinking is was burned whackily by k3b back when.

Apparently, this bug is related to nVidia's MCP61 chipset, specifically the SATA Controller. Now, what software changed from SW 13 to SW 13.1 that introduced this bug and why wasn't it addressed during the -current development cycle when this bug was first identified?

Did you, or someone that you know, send Pat an e-mail about this prior to -current becoming 13.1? If not, then it would appear that you expect Pat to read minds.

You could, of course, send him such an e-mail now with whatever analysis you have done to date. He has released kernel updates in the past, if that is what is necessary.

Anyone who has this problem could drop in a 13.0 kernel, reboot (after you have made a new initrd.gz or whatever), and see if the problem persists. If the problem goes away, that would imply there is a kernel bug.

veeall · 06-16-2010, 12:39 AM

The first time I was forced to cold boot due to dvd-drive, was after Jan 4 updates which introduced new 2.6.3x series kernel and new gcc. So maybe kernel 2.6.29 would show what's responsible for this, i haven't taken that root yet.

Edit: yes probably i'll try slack 13 kernel too, that's easier for me than compiling my own.

No. I was using BW64 13. Regardless, at a minimum someone identified this bug here in early April, actually TWO people, I think. It's well known that some of the major developers of Slackware visit LinuxQuestions.org so maybe the reporters just assumed a developer saw their bug report. Did someone else send Pat an e-mail directly? Did the original identifiers simply assume the developers visiting LinuxQuestions.org would see their report? I don't know and frankly this issue speaks loud and clear about Slackware needing to adopt a more thorough reporting and testing procedure. Bugs which essentially render a machine useless don't need to enter production. Granted, a post can be missed so a new procedure (other than assuming a victim of a bug would e-mail Pat directly or a developer will see the bug report on some forum) obviously needs adopting. Currently, the process of reporting bugs is obviously rather haphazard. Probably, a hundred thousand machines were sold using nVidia's MCP61 chipset which are currently paperweights if used with SW 13.1.

Granted, Pat, will likely find a solution. Pat and his team are a great bunch of guys with a great piece of software which is precisely why this situation shouldn't exist in the first place. Personally, I'll wait a few more days before deciding to send an e-mail...
