I am running ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 64 bit

I work through remote connection using xrdp. The problem is when I connect remotely I cannot access CD/DVD drive but I can see the icon in nautilus. When I click it I have Error saying mount failed

I need every time to mount it manually using command line

sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd

and when I mount it from remote connection, the console session cannot access the cd. the error is saying permission denied. maybe because of the sudo command I used in remote connection

How can I read my cd from both console and remote sessions without manually mounting it.

Create inside the /media directory the directory where you want to mount your dvd. In example

mkdir /media/sasha

Then figure out where your dvd can be found using the command lshw and look for something like /dev/srX where X is a digit.

In my case the dvd was on sr0 so I needed to execute:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop /dev/sr0 /media/sasha
