I'm using 10.04 Lucid; other ubuntu versions are probably similar. The temp fix may or may not work for all udf types.
The bug seems to be caused by auto-mount. Auto-mount tries to mount udf dvd as type udf. However, udf dvd-video should be mounted as type iso9660. A temp fix is to manually mount the dvd drive. 1. Make a new folder to use as a mount point, or use any existing empty folder. sudo mkdir /media/dvd1 2. List your dvd drives with this command: wodim --devices 3. Look for "dev=". Your dvd drive is likely to be /dev/scd0 The shortcut /dev/dvd may also work. 4. Unmount the folder, just in case. sudo umount /media/dvd1 5. Mount dvd drive. sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /media/dvd1 or if your device is /dev/scd0 sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/dvd1 If you use vlc media player to play udf dvd-video, you may need to disable "DVD menus". In vlc, Media > Open Disc > check "No DVD menus" Disc device = /media/dvd1 vlc command line: vlc dvdsimple:///media/dvd1 All commands used listed: --------------------------- sudo mkdir /media/dvd1 wodim --devices sudo umount /media/dvd1 sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /media/dvd1 vlc dvdsimple:///media/dvd1 If you are mounting an udf iso, try sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /pathToIso/filename.iso /media/dvd1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44233 Title: mount udf dvd fails, possible wrong fstab entry To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/util-linux-ng/+bug/44233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
