[Bug 646293] Re: usb connected cd/dvd drive not showing up in Nautilus despite being in dmesg

[Fabián Rodríguez]

Same problem with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. i found this workaround:

1) Insert USB connector 
2) Issue this command (not as sudo, just as regular user)
$ udisks --mount /dev/sr005e3:0701

To dismount/eject, simply unplug the drive. I am also asking Canonical
support to validate this/provide another workaround.

The above command can then be set as a shortcut. Not ideal, but it
works.

Title:
  usb connected cd/dvd drive not showing up in Nautilus despite being in
  dmesg

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  The drive is functional in Lucid but in Maverick it is detected by the
  kernel, but not made available to userspace. Advice on IRC indicates
  that this is likely a udev bug.
