I've just started using Linux and it's great. I use Arch and as the topic says my dvd rom is not responding - when I insert a disk with movie for ex. it's fine, but it just won't detect an empty cd or dvd - what should I do?
Thanks

with "detect" do you mean you're trying to burn something to the disc but your burn application fails to detect the empty disc?
what desktop environment do you use? gnome, kde, lxde.. perhaps openbox?

thanks for the quick response.
Yes, I am trying to burn an iso image, but it's not only the burn application - my pc is not detecting the emptu dvd...
I use kde desktop environment - Platform Version 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1)
I tried $ sudo pacman -S gvfs but still nothing.
any other suggestions?

Just a couple of quick checks:
1. Are you sure you can burn DVDs, maybe it's just a combo drive: you can read DVDs, but not write them. Have you been able to burn them on this computer before? Using the same apps?
2. Usually, you don't need to mount the empty disc, if you try to, you most likely fail.

What other apps are malfunctioning? What do you mean by "my pc is not detecting the empty dvd"? How would you like the system to respond to an empty DVD? Is what you're trying to do working on your other computers or on other distros?

I have never tried to, my friend has the same pc and he can...
Usually when I incert a device, cd or dvd my device notifier reacts and a notification window pops with icon of the devece or cd (dvd). When I put a blank dvd however nothing happens.
I tried the same disks ot a windows laptop and the laptop detected the blank dvd.

I asked about other Linux distros, Windows does things a bit differently. Does your friend use Arch or some other Linux distro?
Just because you have no notification doesn't mean there's something wrong, but if you can't burn - that's surely a problem.

Yep that's why I wanted to burn a dvd in the firs place. I have this iso image with name sadvd.iso and I cannot mount it.
It is supposed to be a game - gta3 for windows. my frends say linux is better but not possible to play any game you want so I downoaded one game gta3, opened it with wine and it's not working properly - it lags, a lot. I couldn't fix that so I downloaded gta san andreas from pirate bay and tried to mount the image of burn it on dvd - failed in both.
I want to proove that in linux everything is possible! I'am just not good enough yet.

1. Please, use [code ] tags for code output.
2. Use a valid path, both absolute and relative should be fine. Is you don't knwo what an absolute path is, I recommend you start reading up and come back when you know something.
3. Related to the above - you need to quote the path or otherwise escape spaces etc.

3. I thought that I needed to create a virtual cd for the game first and than...you are right this is getting blurry... the original problem turned out to be my lack of knowledge about my computer and linux in general... the topic should be removed, because it doesn't solve - not responding dvd rom - it's a dead end.
