[xubuntu-users] automount cd/dvd-rom not working

[Gary Crosby]

I just installed and got xubuntu 8.04 working on my desktop machine,
but I cannot see the cd/dvd-rom. It is in the fstab, but it is not
mounting on startup. I could do a cli mount everytime I need it, but I
am out of town for weeks on end, and the family is not appreciative of
things that do not just work.

For what it is worth, I am not interested in installing 8.10. Been
there, done that, too many things just did not work. So, don't even go
there.
