[Bug 554433] Re: [LUCID] cd/dvd not recognized

 

"It's going to be an offence but I am gonna say it " WINDOWS IS GETTING
BETTER ESPECIALLY WITH 64Bit"."

OK Let's not get into a flaming war; but I see Atul's frustration: what
sort of useful OS cannot even recognise CDs and DVDS!? This type of
things makes Linux (Ubuntu) look pathetically bad - and people do not
seem that bothered. Remember the thing about Flash not really working on
Linux - that took ages to "solve." It's still not right. Such basics
should be ironed out within hours.

Atul and I would simply like simple instructions - my problem is that I
ahve Lucid 10.04 and CDs and DVDs are not AUTOMOUNTED. They will only be
recognised when I restart. I do not want to install a "mass update" as
in the past any update has totally messed up my installation (won't
recognise my wireless conenction etc.) so all we need is a fix for the
mounting thing.

Is this crucial thing too much to ask for - I repeat Atul's frustration
is expressed quite mildly compared with people who already laugh at
Linux . I feel for him. Reading CD/CDRs is crucial! Next, certain people
will be saying (for the next release of Ubuntu) "your monitor not
recognised?" "hey if you need a monitor so bad, then go back to Windows"
- I do not joke, this is the type of thing that is said.
