Noob can't find CD/DVD on Linux Ubuntu KDE

[Henry Jones]

I have been on Linux for about six months but today is
the first time I put a known good data cd disc into the
cd/dvd disc drive.

How do I find the cdrom on Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE?

The cdrom drive is not showing up under "Devices" in either
Dolphin or Nautilus. http://i63.tinypic.com/2yzj6zq.jpg

How can I 'Ping' the cdrom to see if it's alive?

In your pic I see in the L pane under Devices one named DATA in both
file managers.

You can use

wodim --devices

DATA is just a separate space on disk for data outside
the operating system (for dual boot purposes).

Wodim exists as a program. But I'm not sure if it found anything.

In a terminal, ls -l /dev/sr* will tell you if the cd drive is there.
mount will tell you if /dev/sr[0-9] is mounted, and also where it is
mounted. If not mounted try mount /dev/sr[0-9] /mnt and then ls -l /mnt

Note: [0-9] means pick one of 0 to 9.

Your pic shows wodim --scanbus but one dash is the syntax.

On my system either --scanbus or -scanbus works equally well.

I see a bug report in Ub.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/1203559 wodim
doesn't find my DVD writer

In the report, after something like CE's ls -l /dev/sr* tells you the
device number, then the bug advisor used:

wodim dev=/dev/sr0 -checkdrive

... for a device he found to be sr0. On my system, that gives more
details about the optical and driver.

kscd is, I think, the kde cd player.
I assume it is music cd or something, not a data cd. A data cd can be
mounted. A music one cannot.
Go to the ubuntu menu and look for Sound and Videa and under that kscd.
r use vlc media player. Or kmplayer.

[Henry Jones]

Thanks. That does find the cd drive.

Maybe I will try a boot off a linux usb stick.
What do you recommend for that?

What size USB stick? (32MB ok?)
What Linux distribution?

I have all types of DVDs and CDs, from CD music to
DVD movies, but the *simplest* disk to put in was
a basic data disc which is a bunch of files backed
up to the cd disk.

If it can't read that (simplest of all), then it won't
read anything else. I've tried a few which work in other
machines so it's not the disc.

It's something in either Linux or the hardware.

What linux flash thumb drive boot software would you
recommend so that I can boot to a different OS to
check if it's the hardware of if it's the OS?

It seems to be /dev/sr0, just as you noted.

Earlier you mentioned Ub 14.04 KDE. If that means that you have
experience with KDE and Ub and you prefer that DE, then you might also
like the newest LTS Ub 16.04.

I recently downloaded an All in One for Ub 16.04 which has multiple DEs
on it. AIO groups the various Ubs in different ways, all 64 bit, all 32
bit, and mixed 64 and 32 bit.

However, if you aren't sure about Ub, Mint 17 has been extremely
popular, which has been based on Ub 14.04 because of the LTS. The
current released Mint is 17.3, based on Ub 14.04. Very soon Mint 18
will be released which will be based on Ub 16.04.

> What size USB stick? (32MB ok?)

You surely mean 32G. You can put a number of distros on a 32G stick.
In fact, you could put the AIO Ub 16.04 on there as well as the AIO Mint
17.3, which would give you a chance to look at Cinnamon.

A Windows based tool which allows putting multiple iso/s on USB is YUMI.

> What Linux distribution?

It depends on how you want to look around. If you wanted to look at a
variety of different bases and philosophies, you could look at some of
the newest releases like Fedora 24 - Red Hat related instead of Ub/Deb -
or Peppermint 7 - web oriented based on Ub.

Personally I'm a Mint fan and my current 'favorite' DE is XFCE, but that
choice is partly because I use a lot of old hardware. If your hardware
has more resources, you can choose DEs that use more resource like
Cinnamon and KDE and Gnome and Unity.

I dl a LOT of distros to boot them up live on USB, but don't install so
many.

If your specific aim is to see this optical's data, you should be able
to do that without having to dl anything else. You are just having some
problem with things working 'out of the box'.

The earlier wodim problem was a wodim bug.

I'm not sure yet what was the first problem with your KDE file managers
not seeing the disk.

I presume you have tried ejecting and then reinserting the data disk
into the drive.

The fact that you got the wodim report means that the system can see the
optical drive.

That is not necessarily the simplest. Different drives have different
behaviour and sometimes a dvd written on one drive cannot be read by
another.
Anyway, it is a data dvd is it?

That is because you never told it where you wanted it mounted.

mkdir -p /media/cdrom
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
as root.

I'm not partial to Ubuntu but I had asked which is the best overall for
a noob, and folks told me to use Ubuntu, so I did.

The only reason for KDE is that Unity is for someone else, not me.
(I don't want to re-live that experience, so, just take that as a fact.)

My machine is 64 bit but I really don't need 64 bit for any particular
purpose.

I really just need Linux. I first tried CentOS but it was lousy as a
desktop OS because it was missing the video editing software I wanted.

So I just want Linux with lots of home-related apps (not server related).
I like that I can find tutorials for Ubuntu so it needs to be widespread.

Good. Yes, I meant 32GB. I don't know what the smallest size practicable
is for a Linux bootable USB thumb drive.

I'm not sure I need *multiple* OSs on a flash drive.
One will do. :)

It was my fault for not mentioning that I first tried CentOS and found
it lacking for a home user due to older video editing software. I was
constantly finding that the software on RedHat-based systems is far
behind that of Debian-based systems, so I'll stick with apt-get over
yum.

Good point. *All* my hardware is old (WinXP converted to Linux).

I have never installed and created a bootable flash drive ever.
I'm probably fine with Kubuntu if that's available on a flash drive.

Here's a screenshot:
http://i65.tinypic.com/2qb7gcn.jpg

There is a data cdrom (not a dvd) in the optical drive.

$ su - root
Password:
root@henry:~# mkdir -p /media/cdrom
root@henry:~# mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0

William Unruh wrote:

Yes. I have "DVD" format DVDs, and data-format DVDs,
and one is just data while the other is video_ts
stuff.

I also have audio cd's where they are in a list
of about 20 WAV files (as I recall), but again,
I made sure to pop in "data" cds and dvds.

> I use Mageia so you could try Mageia 5 Live dvd.

OK. I presume I download an "image" and then I put
that "image" onto the flash drive?

I've downloaded ISO images before. Is it similar
for a thumb-drive image?

I presume I need to format the thumb drive first.
Does the format type matter?

A CD ( which the live stuff fits) is 700MB. So the smallest is about
1GB. Which is impossible to buy these days.

Actually Debian, whith its emphasis on stability over newness tends to
be older.
FFor this Mageia tends to try to be pretty cutting edge.

dd if=livecd.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
(where livecd.iso is the iso of the live image and your usbstick is
sdb.)

Oh, I have *plenty* of tiny USB flash drives.
They used to give them away as branded freebies at trade shows

Ok, that is a problem. Add the line below to the /etc/fstab file

/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0

with a text editor (copy/paste)or run the below command in a terminal/console:
(no wrap, First command adds a new line to end of file. The second command
below adds the text between the double quotes to the end of file.)

sudo echo "" >> /etc/fstab

You may want to add sym links to /dev/sr0 for cdrw,dvd,dvdrw
also. You can do so via a terminal/console running below commands:

sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrw
sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd
sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvdrw

You would add the above lines to the bottom of
the /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh file to have the sym lnks created
each time you boot, since they are not being created via
the current methods.

You could add the command lines to the file by running below
commands in a terminal/console like so:

sudo echo "" >> /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

(above command adds a new line to the file, so that following
line created via first below command
is not appended to an existing last line, if no new line aready
follows the existing last line in file)

sudo echo "ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrw" >> /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
sudo echo "ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd" >> /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
sudo echo "ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvdrw" >> /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

After completing the steps above, the output of

ls -al /dev | grep sr

should look similar to below example output.

root@aptosid-shuttle:/home/kirk# ls -al /dev | grep sr
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 26 06:48 cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 26 06:48 cdrw -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 26 06:48 dvd -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 26 06:48 dvdrw -> sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jun 26 06:48 sr0

Make sure the mount points exist in /mnt
You can create them with the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom;mkdir -p /mnt/cdrw;mkdir -p /mnt/dvd;mkdir -p /mnt/dvdrw
(watch wrap)

After all the above is completed, you then would need to run:
sudo mount -a
from terminal/console.

Note that Ubuntu/Mint may use /media for mounting optical devices.
In that case you would need to replace /mnt in all examples/commands
above with /media if you wanted to follow their conventions.

Lenovo says your machine came with 1, 2, or 4 G ram and supports up to
16G. Here's a lenovo page I found

I use USBs from 1 to 32 for the numerous live linuxes I boot. Some
won't fit on a 1 or a 2. The AIOs won't fit on a 4. A recent one
wouldn't fit on an 8.

Ubuntu has a special version since 2007 called Ubuntu Studio with extra
multimedia and some kernel tweaking.

wp: an officially recognized derivative[5] of the Ubuntu Linux
distribution, which is explicitly geared to general multimedia production.

Its default DE is XFCE, which would be good if your ThinkPad came with a
lower ram configuration.

Altho' I prefer deb derivatives over rpm, the old 'rpm dependencies
hell' has been alleviated and the current Fedora doesn't use yum
anymore, but DFN. Long story there.

You may have some 1 or 2 G ram ones in there which should influence your
DE choices.

My first preference is to use a Windows app to format and write my flash
drives called Rufus. My second preference is to use a Win app to write
more than one to a USB called YUMI. Sometimes I use other alternatives
including linux ones for special purposes.
