Description of problem:
I hope this is the right component to report to.

On insertion of a DVD-ROM containing data, either aVideo-DVD or
self-burned one, the Nautilus DVD/CD-Creator pops up. The same happens
when one clicks on the DVD icon that appears on the desktop. This
happens most of the time, however not always. Sometimes, the DVD is
recognized correctly. I have not succeeded to detect a pattern for
this behaviour though.

In any case the DVD can be mounted as usual and the content browsed,
resp. the Video played.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.4.2-1.FC3

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
No pattern recognized

Comment 1 Gérard Milmeister 2004-12-20 18:06:13 UTC
The log message is this:
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

However when I mount using "mount /dev/cdrecorder" I get:
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
SELinux: initialized (dev hdc, type iso9660), uses genfs_contexts

What kernel are you using? Please try the latest kernel from Rawhide.

> What kernel are you using? Please try the latest kernel from Rawhide.

I see the same issues with my 2 Plextors (a 716A burner and 116A reader) under
FC3 x86_64, fully updated with the 2.6.10-1.770_FC3. I have tried the
development kernel-2.6.11-1.1177_FC4.x86_64, but this makes no difference.

Comment 4 Scot Harris 2005-03-12 20:20:56 UTC
I am seeing a similar problem.

Running a ASUS P5GD2 Deluxe mother board and a Plexor PL-716A DVD burner.  FC3
with the 760 smp kernel.  When I put a disc in the drive, either CD or DVD, it
is not recognized.  I can mount the drive manually and read the data or run
other applications like xine on DVDs.  

I have sucessfull burned CDs with this drive.  I do have a problem trying to get
DMA enabled however.


Comment 5 Gérard Milmeister 2006-05-16 22:33:51 UTC
Currently with kernel 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5, the problem remains:
With automatic mounting (via hal and gnome-mount):
  cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
The directory /media/cdrecorder is empty and clicking on the
DVD icon opens the nautilus-burn.

When I do:
  sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/cdrecorder
the message is still:
  cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
the DVD icon also appears and opens to nautilus-burn.
But this time the directory /media/cdrecorder correctly
shows the content of the DVD-ROM.
(Note: /dev/dvd is a link to hdd)

I think I found the pattern of this issue at least on my DELL Inspiron 5100 cd 
burner SAMSUNG SN-324F. The problem appears when DVD disk is present in drive 
during Fedora boot process. If booting performed with cd drive empty all 
starts working. Although dvd mounting by hand working always for me.

This doesn't change anything for me, unfortunately.

I have used isoinfo on two DVD's: the Fedora one mounts automatically,
the X-Plane one as empty. Maybe this gives an indication of the problem.

Comment 8 Gérard Milmeister 2006-06-02 18:02:31 UTC
I think the new hal rules are to blame. A cdrom is mounted at /media/VOLUME_LABEL
where VOLUME_LABEL is the volume name of the cdrom. In my opinion this
is a bad idea.
I used an fdi file as suggested in:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=103810
so that a cdrom is mounted at /media/cdrecorder as in the previous behaviour.
Now, the cdrom that was not mounted previously is now mounted correctly,
however the name on the desktop is now "cdrecorder" and not VOLUME as before.
A cdrom should always mount at the same mount-point, if there are several
drives, they should be numbered.

Fedora Core 5 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 8?
