    Unable to find DVD on T41 laptop

    Hi.
    I am having a little difficulty with locating a DVD on a Thinkpad running Lubuntu. The disk spins inside, but it's not automounted, autoplayed, or displayed on fdisk. Nothing in /media either.

    the drive is seen by the rest of the hardware
    Code:
     dedan@dedan-ThinkPad-T42:~$ sudo lshw[sudo] password for dedan:

    Re: Unable to find DVD on T41 laptop

    i think VLC is able to access the drive directly, with 'open disk' -> /dev/sr0
    (i don't have it installed right now but that's how i remember it)
    please stick to the facts and be kind.
    what else can you do when you don't know each other.
