I recently bought this book, which came with an accompanying CD. When I try to view the contents of the CD in Ubuntu, I don't have read permission for any of the files. ls -al in the root of the CD gives this:

dr-x------ 1 mpiroc mpiroc  4096 Sep 21  2011 ./

I must be doing something wrong--surely the CD is meant to be read! What am I missing here?

  • It seems to be meant for windows (I say that because of the .bat file). But that is good news (kinda): The CD probably does not have permissions written in it. The permissions that it has were given by Ubuntu itself when it mounted

  • I mpiroc a user in your computer ? If you umount and mount again via nautilus, does it work ?
