Can you list the DVD player details as shown by lshw, this tells us make and model the OS had found. $ lshw -class disk You'll have to clip out the DVD if you get multiple disk. Paste the output, if you are keen you can run as root, but on Debian boxes you should have permissions enough (or the group membership of the user is the problem). WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. *-cdrom description: DVD-RAM writer product: CDDVDW SU-208GB vendor: hp physical id: 0.0.0 bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom logical name: /dev/cdrw logical name: /dev/dvd logical name: /dev/dvdrw logical name: /dev/sr0 version: HN00 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user. Also insert a disk and look at the end of the kernel log. Probably easiest is run this command in a terminal window, and enter password if needed. $ sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log Insert the disk and paste the new bits that appear till it has failed to mount. Then "ctrl"+"c" to terminate the "tail" command. It could be else where but that will give up something to work on instead of people guessing. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG FAQ: https://www.dcglug.org.uk/faq/
