[Bug 412527] Re: Cannot mount media in DVD rom drive, Acer Timeline 4810T. Drive is detected, and media only detected if placed in the drive when machine suspended. Even then DVD movies (purchased) are not recognised - error message that media is unknown. Audio cd's sometimes play. When trying to unmount, I am asked for my password - message given that another user mounted the media.

checked again today.

press physical eject button, tray opens, insert disc (tried blue man
group audio cd, road to perdition DVD, Red alert 2 game cd, and karmic
beta live disc from which I installed), close tray, drive spins up for a
short time, no auto prompt appears, go to computer and attempt to select
drive, dialogue appears stating no media in drive, attempt to eject at
this point using eject cdrom command in terminal and the terminal hangs,
kill the terminal and press the physical eject button and it ejects.

there is a different bug affecting many people mentioned at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8060118 and

THIS IS NOT THE SAME BUG.


this has been reported on both the acer 4810 and 5810 timeline series laptops.
