Seems like my CD reader is bricked. This is bizarre, since "eject" and "wodim" (or the GUI equivallent) function: I am able to eject a CD and I am able to burn a CD-R - can't check though as it does not read any CD.
> sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
> sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o ro -t iso9660
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I am certain the filesystem is iso9660 (I have an iso copy of this CD as a file and I can mount it as a loop device).
I tried to mount an audio CD, it yields the same errors (same with VLC).
I don't understand what's up with my system.
Any way I can diagnose the problem ?
Fix it ?
Has anybody seen similar behaviour before ?
I would love to hear from you.
dmesg | tail
, please?main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to
...). I believe something got corrupted and neither session got closed at the end of the creation.
