After getting feedback from the linux kernel bugzilla, I worked around my timeout errors by disabling media detection polling. I'd rather have a working drive than auto-mounting.
'hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr0' (assuming your device is /dev/sr0) Thankfully, this stays in effect permanently (even with reboot) until it is changed and the command nicely tells you the file it creates to make the config change. Does this work (or not work) for anyone else? -- ATAPI devices malfunctioning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
