[xubuntu-users] [xubuntu] Question on how to mount a CD?

[David Duckslammer]

Get thee to a command line.

Type *mount*

one of the lines should be something like /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom

if not, it isn't mounted.  Do it manually: *mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom*

If no response it succeeded.  If anything prints it is a error message, and
let us know what it is.  Also grep /var/log/syslog for "sr0"

If it is successful you will have to also manually unmount: *umount
/media/cdrom ; eject*

note the spelling umount, not unmount.
