Description of problem: Gnome does not detect when a disc is inserted in the CD/DVD drive. When you double click the "CD/DVD Drive" icon from the "Computer" window, nothing happens - the disc is not mounted, and you cannot eject it (right clicking on the "CD/DVD Drive" does not show the "Eject" option at all) The drive otherwise works fine - you can mount or eject the disc from the command line. The drive also works fine under KDE. The machine is a 1st gen PowerPC-based Mac Mini with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive. The drive is /dev/hdb: [root@localhost ~]# ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 2009-11-29 11:02 /dev/cdrom -> hdb [root@localhost ~]# ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 2009-11-29 11:02 /dev/dvd -> hdb [root@localhost ~]# hdparm -i /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange Model=MATSHITACD-RW, FwRev=DACD, SerialNo= Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic } RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=unknown, MaxMultSect=0 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=no IORDY=no, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio3 pio4 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2 AdvancedPM=no Drive conforms to: Unspecified: ATA/ATAPI-2,3,4,5,6 * signifies the current active mode How reproducible: Always
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
