Hello, I have installed ubuntu 12.10 on my hp laptop. Mostly everything is ok, but I cannot use the dvd/cd drive. It will not read anything, I have tried to follow instructions from other peoples questions obviously with no luck.
The drive shows up when I open the disk utility app, Screenshot from 2013-12-29 18:24:09.jpg
~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
~$
But it wont seem to mount.
~$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 29 11:40 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation

# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=7fbb1927-7749-489c-83fb-2a0e123955d5 none swap sw 0 0
I dont know what else to try. Is there anything else I should post? I hope someone knows what is wrong with me.
