When I insert a CD into my laptop running Ubuntu 11.10 nothing happens, there is no device showing that I have inserted the CD. I've read about mountind dev/cdrom and such but nothing of the sort seems to work.

  • Have you tried mounting it manually? mkdir disc && sudo mount /dev/sg1 ./disc

If you need to find CD/DVD drives available on your Ubuntu system 

# wodim --devices

Example 

wodim --devices

wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0  dev='/dev/sg1'  rwrw-- : 'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-S223F'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st check it your cdrom is plugged in or not
