OK, I have a puzzling issue.
I need someone with the following hardware configuration to try
something for me. I need to see if you can reproduce this, as I
don't want to file this as a potential bug, until I know for sure
that it is such.
Anyone who has an HP laptop running Ubuntu, at least 16.04 or greater who's system has an internal optycal CD drive...
Try inserting an audio CD into your drive while focused on your desktop. I'm using Gnome 3, but I don't know that would matter honestly.
Tell me what happens when you do so.
Did the disk mount correctly for you?
If you go into your terminal, and try to cd into
/media/[YourUserName]
If you then do an ls command, can you see the disk mounted, and can you CD into it then see all the .cda files if you ls?
I, for one, can't. It's not mounting to my desktop either.
When I look in /dev, it looks like the drive is in there, and when I go to terminal and type eject, then hit enter, the drive definitely does open. So, Ubuntu is definitely! over all seeing the drive, but it's just not mounting automatically. data CD's, and even data DVD's, as well as movie DVD's aren't mounting either. The drive is definitely not broken as it works just fine in Windows. I know as I was just using it the other day on Windows 10 before wiping my drive and installing Linux.
Upon Googling, it looks like this is a known issue with HP systems, if I'm reading things correctly. But, just in case I'm not, I'd like one of yall to try this, and see if you all can also reproduce the issue.
Remember, I need this tested on the exact hardware listed above. To reidderate, HP laptop, Ubuntu anything 16.04 or later, internal CD optical drive, either prerecorded or burned, either/or audio CD media.
If you can reproduce, and know a work-around, let me know.
I tried manually mounting the drive to /mnt/cdrom, but it didn't work.
