    When you put the disk in the drive does it get mounted? Does an icon appear on your desktop?

    Also, post the output of
    Code:
    cat /etc/fstab

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

    Ok post the output of
    Code:
    id alex
    Im sure it will be 501, but just making sure. Im wondering if you dont have permissions to use the image viewer program, and thats whats giving you the error. Have you viewed images from the cdrom before? What program do you use? I think GQview is the xubuntu viewer, but Im not sure. Try
    Code:
    gqview
    and point it at one of the files on your dvd

    alex@alex:/media/cdrom0$ id alex
    uid=1000(alex) gid=1000(alex) groups=1000(alex),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25( floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),10 7(fuse),109(lpadmin),115(admin)



    nope i have not looked at files from my cdrom before, this is a brand new computer. and i believe Image viewer is the program that i am trying to use

    this is such a stupid problem to have lol
