My DVD drive can only read one DVD. 21 Jump Street, and I know exactly why, just not how to fix it.

Here is the command line output for 'sudo lshw -C disk'

*-cdrom                 
   description: DVD-RAM writer
   product: DVD A  DH16A6L
   vendor: ATAPI
   physical id: 0.0.0
   bus info: scsi@2:0.0.0
   logical name: /dev/cdrom
   logical name: /dev/cdrw
   logical name: /dev/dvd
   logical name: /dev/dvdrw
   logical name: /dev/sr0
   logical name: /media/caldwell/21_JUMP_STREET_2012
   version: ZH1A
   capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram
   configuration: ansiversion=5 mount.fstype=udf mount.options=ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=77,iocharset=utf8 state=mounted status=ready
 *-medium
      physical id: 0
      logical name: /dev/cdrom
      logical name: /media/caldwell/21_JUMP_STREET_2012
      configuration: mount.fstype=udf    mount.options=ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=77,iocharset=ut    f8 state=mounted

As you can see, the last logical name reads: //media/caldwell/21_JUMP_STREET_2012

therefore making it impossible for the DVD to read any DVD that is any other DVD.

How do I change it back to its original logical name? As much as I love 21 Jump Street I want to watch other films.

I mean come on, it's not even the original.

    What disc was in the drive when you ran this command? Had 21 Jump Street been in the drive previously, since booting? Jun 10, 2015 at 0:59

    And if you reboot, will the problem occur with a different DVD if the first DVD you insert after booting is something else? Jun 10, 2015 at 1:24

I performed an update and rebooted and that fixed the problem seemingly.
