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

[David Duckslammer]

I'm a command line guy from way back and confess to not knowing how a lot of
this automatic stuff works.

When something that is supposed to be automatic fails, look for errors in
the log files, sometimes you can make intelligent guesses what's wrong.
Logs are under /var/log - look in syslog and messages.  Search for *sr0*

Do that - and then ask your question again on http://ubuntuforums.org

If/when you figure it out PLEASE let me know, by direct mail or through the
list.
