I was going to burn an iso image, and apparently the last time I did it was when I still had 13.2 (that was to burn the iso dvd for installing leap). So this time, while running 42.1, I put in a new blank dvd, and nothing. It won't read. Leap doesn't see anything in the drive.
So I tried to put in a blank cd, and it still doesn't see anything.
Logical. Nothing there to read.
So I put in a cd that has data on it, and no problem, it reads just fine.
Logical. Something to read.
So I booted into 13.2, and put in the same blank dvd to check, and no problem. In 13.2, the system reads that there is a blank dvd in the drive.
You'll have to give a lot more context. The Desktop environment or the programs you are using matters.
For example:
I run KDE. It doesn’t matter if its KDE3 or KDE4 AFAIK it should matter with KDE5.
KDE has a "device notifier". if its loaded it tells you when a dynamic storage device becomes available because of the rules in udev producing kernel events.
I don't know of other Desktops have a Device Notifier like that.
The issue gets back to udev rules, then.
I have my rsyslog set up to watch for such kernel events and I can see by using 'tail -f /var/log/messages' if a USB stick is inserted or a DVD is inserted. I get different messages both at the Device Notifier and in the messages according to whether the device has a file system or is blank.
If you don't have a Device Notifier in to Desktop thyen you won't see a desktop level notification of this event.
** If you don't have an appropriate entry in your udev rules than there won't be any processing of the event interrupt, no mounting of file system or notification of blank media. **
Ok, thanks. I will definitely have to look into that.
