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.

 Interestily, it is checked, still don't see the CD. It is so weird. Is it is a bug?

Hi Jason,



You can check permissions on the cdrom. If you  cd /media and then type 

ls -l it should show the permissions. Go to system then user and groups 

and click properties. You will need to enter your password and click on 

user privileges and see if use cdroms is ticked.
