The CD drive will no longer mount or recognize any CD - music, DVD or blank. I have reloaded the codecs and libdvdcss libdvdread4 libdvdnav4. No luck.</p> <p>If someone could help me with a step-by-step solution to this issue, I would appreciate it very much</p>enFri, 08 May 2015 07:05:01 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3416/cd-drive-not-being-read-in-ubuntu-1404/3531<p>solution is to install udftools.

I solved it by selecting a different CD device in VLC prefs. All these programs defaulted to <code>/dev/dvd</code>, but then complained. I changed the <code>Disc device</code> to <code>/dev/sr0</code> in VLC, and now I can easily play DVDs. </p> <p>If you use VLC, then try <code>Media &gt; Open Disc &gt; Disc Device</code> then experiment with the proposed devices in that list (or put in <code>/dev/sr0</code>). </p> <p>Does this help? </p>landroniTue, 19 Aug 2014 09:06:28 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3416/cd-drive-not-being-read-in-ubuntu-1404/3417
