Re: [LUG] Mint 15: Automount DVD post re-install of Mint

Hi All,
I've had to reinstall Mint - Grub collapsed and rendered the system unbootable - and everything is now working again, except the DVD which as you know I was having issues with previously. However the problem is now worse as the drive will now not mount /at all/ whereas previously it was just random.
At the suggestion of a friend I tried with an external USB drive and that behaved perfectly - ignored the drive until I inserted a DVD and then asked what I wanted to do with it. 

lshw with external drive connected:

lshw without without external drive - I believe it /should/ be listing my internal drive. 

julian@Cerce ~ $ sudo lshw -C disk

Is the fact that it is a BluRay drive - a Pioneer BDXL - a problem?

Any and all advice appreciated.

Kind regards,

Julian


I never like when the computer calls me a liar...
Rebooted into Windows on the same PC, recognised the disk as expected and autoplayed it. Rebooted back into Mint with the DVD still inserted and for the first time since reinstalling the OS it has mounted the drive. 

lshw now says:

It has mounted /dev/sr0 to /media/julian/MIAMI_VICE_SEASON3_DISC06 as it's supposed to, however I still do not understand why it won't do it consistently.
