It's Linux Mint specifically which is being the pain here. When you finally have the DVD mounted under Mint, what does /etc/mtab look like? I had to go and search through the living room to actually find a film DVD, but when I did eventually find one, this is what I see in mtab: /dev/sr0 /media/ghost/RATATOUILLE udf ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,umask=0077,uhelper=udisks2 0 0 And this is what my "udevadm monitor" output on insertion/eject: KERNEL[5497.135978] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata6/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [5497.163009] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata6/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) KERNEL[5515.025056] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata6/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [5516.772498] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata6/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) You're obviously not seeing anything like that, so something is wrong. Have you got the udisks2 package installed? If not, install it. I've also belatedly realised that of course your DVDs could be in either iso9660 or UDF format, with UDF actually being more likely. I think the only thing you haven't reported back on yet is whether forcibly mounting the disk via the terminal is working, and that's probably the single most important factor. If manual mounting is operational, it's just down to sorting through the udisks2/udev/dbus subsystems to see which one is sabotaging you. If manual mounting doesn't work, well, then something even more strange is happening. It seems that perhaps the auto-detection in Mint is somehow timing out?
