Failing to auto-mount CD-Rs on Lenovo T420 laptop

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

For some reason I can automount just about any CD/DVD type except CD-R.

I have a workaround. After inserting a CD-R, run this shell script:-

#!/bin/bash
# script to mount a CD-R
# Ian Bruntlett 15th May 2016

if [ $LOGNAME != "root" ]
then
    echo ERROR: Need to run as root
    exit 1
fi

MOUNT_POINT="/media/ian/cd"

echo $0 runningsudo
if [ ! -d $MOUNT_POINT ]
then
    echo WARNING mount point $1 does not exist. Now making it:-
    mkdir $MOUNT_POINT
else
    echo OK: $MOUNT_POINT exists
fi;

mount -t iso9660  /dev/sr0 $MOUNT_POINT --ro


My system details are:-

ian at turing:~$ uname -a
Linux turing 4.4.0-22-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 12 22:03:46 UTC 2016
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

ian at turing:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu

Checked the Ubuntu Launchpad to see if this problem has been logged.
Couldn't find it. Will log it accordingly if it isn't already on Ubuntu
Launchpad.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

BW,


Ian
