Re: Can't Access DVD-ROM, Inspiron 8100

Hi just found your post re accessing cdrom in debian testing, have same 
problem sometimes and just found simple solution if you don't mind using 
CLI using wodim, here's the page I found.

http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/how-to-mount-cdrom-in-linux#h5-allowing-users-to-mount-cdrom

for me I used ,
$ wodim /dev/sr0
                          ^ this is a zero

I get this problem on and off I think because I use dolphin even though 
I am running XFCE so I think it sometimes clashes with the default file 
manager.

Hope this helps you.
