no cd on startup

[Andy Boersma]

Hi Tom,

Something is wrong here.

you have

/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 auto users,utf8,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 auto users,utf8,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0


Totally confusing the setup, /dev/scd0 has cdrom 0 and 1 assigned

I would suggest deleting the 1st /dev/scd0 line
and make it look like this, then reboot.

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0


edit the file with

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Good luck and a happy new year.

Andy
