Nothing fixed as for now with all available updates! What actually happens:

1) I open the drive by pressing the button, insert the disk and close the drive.
2) The disk is NOT mounted automatically, I do it by hand: `mount /dev/cdrom` - the disk gets mounted according to the information given by `mount` and the icon shown on the desktop. However the name of the disk is not shown on the desktop, I see only the string "cdrom" or "cdrom0" - now I'm not sure.
3) Then I execute `ls /media/cdrom` and get the listing of my root folder of the disk.
4) I can see the contents of files in the root folder of the disk with `cat /media/cdrom/example_file` (It's not important how I have actually called my files).
5) I try to execute `cat /media/cdrom/dir1/dir2/dir3/.../example_file` and I get output: "File /media/cdrom/dir1/dir2/dir3/.../example_file Input/output error"
6) Then I execute `umount /dev/cdrom` and the piece of information about disk disappears from the output of `mount`, I also don't see the icon of disk on the desktop.
7) I try to open the drive, using the button - it does not work.
8) I execute `eject` - it works and opens the drive - I take the disk out and close the drive.
9) I execute `eject` and it does not work.
