ubuntu can't mount or does not see my 2nd DVD ROM drive

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have assigned this bug to the correct package so that the right person can solve it for you. Many thanks.

Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

meshellwm,
     If you do an LSPCI, do you see the device? If so please attach that output to this bug. If not, please list for us here a description of the hardware on the device that is not being seen.

Thanks in advance,

-JFo

Thanks for your email.

I entered the command (lspci) and have attached the output in lspci.txt. I don't see any reference to either DVD drive. I have enclosed a screen shot of the file browser that shows the drives. I have 2 DVD optical drives. One is a DVD-RW and the other is an old DVD ROM. If I place a DVD in the -RW drive, ubuntu mounts and a get an icon on the desktop. If I place a DVD in the ROM drive, nothing happens. I can, however, rip the DVD in both drives via AcidRip.

If you need more info, let me know...

I have the same problem, but it is not consistent.
I just installed a second dvd-drive and have now this:
- first dvd-drive : dvd-rom sata samsung
- second dvd-drive : dvd-writer ide philips

Discs in the second dvd-drive are not mounted.
But after changing the disc in the first dvd-drive, and after running "sudo lshw", a disc in the second dvd-drive was mounted.
I could also burn a disc, without affecting the movie running from the first dvd-drive.

After a restart, it returned to the initial situation and a disc in the second dvd-drive was not mounted.

With Ubuntu 10.40 this problems is solved for me.
I have also changed the sata port.

This problem was not solved for me in ubuntu 10.04. But everything worked just fine in ubuntu 9.04!
