[SOLVED] Could not enter folder /media/cdrom1

[RubenK]

That's the error I'm getting. The name of the cd does come up, so do the contents when I access the cdrom as follows:

sudo -i
cd /media/cdrom1
dir
So first of all, although it says cdrom1, I only have one drive. Also some weird stuff is going on in my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# -- This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config --
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sdd1 :
UUID=11e97050-0376-481e-a9c2-0dc6835ce39b / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
The scd1 is linked to the cdrom0 and the scd0 to the cdrom1. I have no idea what it actually means, but it my opinion that's just weird. :P
Please help me, I really need this stupid drive to work...

edit the fstab:

sudo nano /etc/fstab


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# -- This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config --
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

# Entry for /dev/sdd1 :

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
#/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
(Ctrl+o Enter = save, Ctrl+x = exit)

Well that only seems to have solved the cdrom0 linking to the scd1 stuff. Although cdrom1 is still in the /media/ folder.
I'm still getting "Could not enter folder /media/cdrom0" Terminal output:

ruben@ruben-desktop:/$ cd /media/cdrom0
bash: cd: /media/cdrom0: Toegang geweigerd
Where 'Toegang geweigerd' is dutch for 'access denied'.
Again, access is gained only by using sudo -i. :confused:

[sisco311]

you can delete the /media/cdrom1 folder.

Oh, another fun fact: normal audio cd's (or just cd's) aren't read at all. It makes hardly any noise (noise usually means it's working) and nothing shows up in both Dolphin and K3b. Is my hardware just messed up or is it something else?

[RubenK]

It appears the fault is with the dvd. It has some sort of extreme protection. Other normal dvd's are running fine. However, normal CD's are still not being read. However, consider this one solved.
