Leap 15.1-1

I inserted a DVD into the dvd drive, and waited to see if it would auto-mount.

It did not get automounted

So, I

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0 mount: /mnt/sr0: no medium found on /dev/sr0

Yet the dvd plays on ordinary DVD player connected to TV. Check the perms of /dev/sr0

Try a data DVD.

Try also to play the DVD directly with an application such as xine or vlc.

Movie DVDs may not have a mountable filesystem on them. Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's bad. Maybe the drive is dead. But it can be other things, like failing cable. You could try other version of Linux: you can create a rescue stick with the 15.0 rescue live image (XFS), and see if the drive works there.

Video DVD's  DO have a file system on them, such as:

Yes, at least some of them.

.../VIDEO_TS .../VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP .../VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO .../VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB .... etc

and AUDIO_TS/ which is usually empty

I assume that you have checked to make sure all the connectors are securely mounted. Have you tried this device in another computer? Have you tried putting a different device in this computer? Hey Daryl, Nice Try :) :) I use this drive to also boot live linux distros!!! Before installing opensuse, I had another distro on this machine and on that OS, the drive worked just fine.

Hey Daryl, Nice Try :) :) I use this drive to also boot live linux distros!!! Before installing opensuse, I had another distro on this machine and on that OS, the drive worked just fine. I would try again - just to prove that the drive has not just died ;-) DVD drives have the nasty habit of dying with no warning. But it is usually the writing part that fails first.

I suspect one of the capacitors, etc.. that is in the circuit that reads the firmware had gone TITSUP causing it to report corrupted firmware. (or... any flashing lights over your house last night?
