I have noticed in 8.10 that my dvd drives automatically mount and unmount by themselves, for example after a few hours on discs in the drives will mysteriously disappear off the desktop and ejecting and inserting again yields nothing in nautilus , i get an error about "unable to mount media no disc in drive" or a dbus /Hal error "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
However after a few hours suddenly the drive will be mounted again, trying to mount manually from the terminal causes the drive that has the disc in it to hang
Thats what the terminal displays nothing that the mount failed or that it was successful.Code:sudo mount /dev/scd0
The only recourse usually requires a reboot.
Its very frustrating because there is no rhyme or reason to it.
Sometimes i may want to listen to a music cd, watch a dvd or burn something to dvd/cd and the discs don't get recognized when inserted as being in the drive.
This is the first time this has happened , it never happened in earlier versions of ubuntu so it must be 8.10 specifc.
