[Bug 799996] Re: dvd are not mounted automatically in ubuntu 11.04 unity

[Juan R. de Silva]

Right after submitting the bug I found additional details making my
initial report rather inaccurate.  Sorry about it.

Here what exactly happens.

1. If USB drive is attached or any CD is  inserted in CD/DVD-ROM drive,
a corresponding icon appears in Launcher, Nautilus pops up and shows
content of either USB drive or CD.

2. If data or video DVD is inserted in CD/DVD-ROM drive, no icon appears
in Launcher, and Nautilus does not show up.

- If then Nautilus is opened manually, but its Side Pain is set to Tree
view (and this is how it is set in my case by default), DVD icon does
not show up in Nautilus either.

- Only if I change Side Pain to Places view, then I finally can find the
DVD icon shown there, and I can load DVD by clicking on it  instead of
mounting it via CLI in terminal.

- As soon as DVD is mounted as described above, its icon appears in
Launcher and the icon is shown in Nautilus even if I switch back to Tree
view in Side Pane.

So, there is obvious inconsistency in Unity behavior loading CD and DVD
or USB drives.

P.S   And BTW, another thing to note here. In all 3 cases: USB drive,
CD, or DVD, as soon as they are mounted their corresponding icons appear
in Launcher and on Desktop as well.  Such double appearance seems to be
slightly excessive. If the icon of a removable media shows up in
Launcher it should not show up on Desktop.

Title:
  dvd are not mounted automatically in ubuntu 11.04 unity

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  Ubuntu 11.04 is installed on Dell Latitude d820 with Nvidia Geforce
  7300 graphic card. Unity is forced by adding a required line to
  /etc/environment file and runs fine. The system is multi boot with
  Lucid, Fedora 15, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu on it. With all other systems
  but Unity, dvd drive (see info below) works just fine, that is both
  cd's and dvd's are loaded automatically as expected.

  In Unity:

  1. usb drives and cd-rom's are mounted automatically when inserted as
  expected.

  2. dvd's (neither data nor video) are mounted automatically, but can
  be mounted unto a specified point (e.g. /medea/cdrom0 directory, if
  created) manually.

  below is `lshw | grep cdrom` output

             *-cdrom
