2nd dvd burner I have tried no luck seeing dvd's

English Hardware
#1

Hello been messing with linux for about 8 years now so i’m still a newbie ;).

I’ve run into a problem when i put dvd’s in it don’t see them when i put cd’s in it pick them right up?
I have added my self to groups audio cdrom disks and a few others but no luck…
I even changed out my dvd burner thinking it was messed up and the new one does the same.

I’m thinking it something to do with the permission but i might be wrong or maybe something to do with permission for a dvd software dvdrw tools or something i don’t know but i’m at a wits end.

When i put in a cd and goto yast>check media its all good but a dvd it say no media found…

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated thanks… :good:

It don’t say no media it says this “Cannot read medium in the drive /dev/sr0.”

And you are sure it is a DVD reader? :slight_smile:

If it is IDE, make sure the jumpers are properly set and the cable is good. If it is SATA, try a different port on the mainboard.

What does this command report?

/usr/sbin/hwinfo --cdrom

For reference, I get
