Same Problem on a Acer Ferrari 5005WLHi AMD Turion 64bit X2 2.0GHz Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160GB S-ATA HDD, Toshiba DVDW/HD TS-L802A Laptop with 6.06 LTS amd64 installed.
Used the python cdcaps.py /dev/hda and it worked partial, means I can now sudo mount /dev/hda /cdrom and work with the CD/DVD. No Dekstop Icon and still get first the "this is a blank CD/DVD" popup and the dmesg output: "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" Interessting is at my Laptop that the HDD is on /dev/sda and the CD/DVD drive on /dev/hda .... Does this make any differrence ? -- hal detects written DVD as empty https://launchpad.net/bugs/14692 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
