Can't mount CD/DVD drive after Ubuntu installation
by Kealerator from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B027)
Hi!
I'm trying to make a "Media Center -server" kind of laptop out of my fiances old Sony VAIO VGN-FW51MF. 500Gb's of storage with a blu-ray drive so why not?
Everything went smoothly with Ubuntu installation, no error's there.
But when I tried to rip an old DVD+R disc which has an old trip VHS digitalized to a mp4 Ubuntu couldn't mount it.
Here's the error from the terminal:
Code:vaio@vaio-VGN-FW51MF-H:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.This is my 3rd attempt for a "media center build", so I've tested to rip the disc before and with great success. I've managed to rip it with this very VAIO laptop yesterday in Win10 (before installing Ubuntu)
The cd/dvd drive seems to work with audio discs! Tried and tested with VLC.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Did some troubleshooting, and this trip dvd seems to be the only dvd that can't be read. I tested if ubuntu can read some movies and band dvd's and they were succesfully read and played in VLC.
