Upgrade to 10.04; still no CD/DVD drive

[kirko birilli]

victims of upgrading,you are greeted!

guys,could you please send me what machines you got?to break it down:
1)i have an cr700 msi laptop (lucky me) who had a massive and till now still has a  minor dvd writer problem.first just didn't recognise the thing or only after repeatedly rebooting on basis of the 'normal' generic kernel.was tinkering around with udev-extra so brasero collapsed and k3b refused or jumped some control checks.sorry that i am so unspecific but was too lazy to document it.
kicked brasero out and reinstalled k3b with default udev 151-12 and works stable except irregularily (!!!,yes it is a computer) a dodgy message at boot referring to sr0 and i/o errors.didn't work that out yet but think that's the place where all goes wrong.

2)installed 10.04 on a HP,pentium 4 old horse and later got the rt kernel and the studio pack down.works like a train.without any upgrade.

obviously not a solution so sorry if i wasted your time but think we are in the same boat.

point for me is: -where does it go wrong?  it remains me a bit at that server edition thing that you had to enable usb support to detect a usb device.just have no clue what happened on developer's side and i share your frustration about politix.
cheers

Ditto. Here in Austin TX my 10.04 upgrade within Kubuntu loaded with an UbuStu build won't produce sound, i.e., when opening YouTube or other simple docs. Have had no time to unravel what it'll take to do a work around. Any guidance will be gladly appreciated. Thx up front. Kenneth

Greetings,

In a previous post I reported that Ubuntu Studio 9.10 could not find my HP DVD Writer 840d; this issue was never resolved.  I have done a clean install of 10.04 and have the same problem--From the first boot, the very drive that read the install DVD, does not exist as far as Ubuntu Studio is concerned.  Since the drive worked fine while running generic Ubuntu 9.10 from a flash drive, I could probably fix the problem simply by installing the generic 10.04 and adding the Studio packages.  However, if there is any interest in finding and fixing this Ubuntu Studio-specific problem, I am willing to keep this install and work with the list to get it ironed out.  I would really like to see Ubuntu Studio work for as many people as possible.  I am concerned that the adoption of Ubuntu Studio could be seriously hindered if such common hardware is not usable.  Does anyone want to work on this with me?
