Nothing exists in /media except HERA - which is the NAS and I don't know /why/ it exists there as fstab says to mount it as /media/julian/HERA (which also exists), and /julian which has subfolders of CYNTHIA, GANDALF and HERA. So, I created a CDROM directory in /media/julian and issued the following, modifying yours:On 09/12/13 18:39, Julian Hall wrote:I tried automountng as suggested and got the below output.. julian@Cerce ~ $ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom && nemo /media/cdrom & [1] 4741 julian@Cerce ~ $ I tried nautilus and got 4806 command not found.. JulianPresuming your DVD is /dev/sr0 (it almost definitely is) and that /media/cdrom exists, you could just use: ls -alh /media/cdrom to manually check and see if there is anything there in a terminal. Also: mount To see if the unit is now listed as a mounted device. Don't forget to check dmesg for anything interesting in the last couple of lines. The second part was just to automatically open a file browser in the correct place, I used "nemo" as I know you use Mint, so "nautilus" probably isn't installed unless you manually installed it. Either way, as you've just learnt, GUI tools are next to useless when you're trying to diagnose and fix system problems as they frequently don't help: troubleshooting is best done at a prompt. Less ambiguity, more focus, better tools. So yeah, what does "ls -alh /media/cdrom" get you? I'll get to the bottom of this if it kills me...

Cerce julian # No optical drive in sight anywhere.Incidentally, I think I mentioned before, sr0, cdrom, etc do not exist in /dev until/unless the optical drive mounts and I don't know why that is, and may well be the root cause of the problem.
