fresh install ---blooming DVD drive not recognized AGAIN
...and I'm looking all over the web for what fixed it last time! JEEZ! I
installed 10.4 as my new motherboard couldn't find the EDID of the
nvidia GF9400 board <swears> and 10.4 still has the install text mode,
something I truly hope they put back in.
If anyone recalls, please clue me in.
I am in the cdrom group and added myself to DVD as well. Still no go. It
just won't recognize a movie DVD and yes, I have libdvdcss installed.
Plus all the codecs I could find. The only codecs I haven't installed
are the mplayer w32 ones. Worse comes to worse, I can start upgrading
...someone just shoot me. Since this is an upgrade of my old machine,
and my server died with the brand new MB going feet up and shipped back
to Asus, I don't have all several thousand hints and tips that are on
the other machine's harddrive. Ric

I suppose you are referring to the installation DVD. You can still get
the text installation mode, by using the "alternate" CD. Since you
have hardware recognition problems, I suggest Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit
alternate CD.

I suggest installing it from medibuntu repository, along with
non-free-codecs metapackage.

Been there, done that, but thanks anyway. Here's what I ~think~ is the
nitty-gritty. I had an older IDE cable hooked up during install. This
machine is a second backup machine until my ASUS MB comes back from
ASUS. But, I want it working an on my local net for devel purposes, as a
client machine as a test platform. DVD not playing DVD movies at all. It
will accept a data DVD like the install DVD and automount it no prob.
But, I found this:
ric@ima:~$ sudo hdparm /dev/sr0
[sudo] password for ric:
What the heck?? No DMA, no nuttin'. So, I replaced the IDE cable with a
newer fat one. But, the system still thinks I'm running the older cable:
3.544424] ata7.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable
[ 3.572419] ata6.00: n_sectors mismatch 40130390 != 40132503
[ 3.572421] ata6.00: new n_sectors matches native, probably late HPA
unlock, n_sectors updated
[ 3.572426] ata6: nv_mode_filter: 0x739f&0x739f->0x739f, BIOS=0x7000
(0xc000c500) ACPI=0x701f (60:900:0x11)
[ 3.576354] ata7.00: configured for UDMA/33
[ 3.588525] ata6.00: configured for UDMA/33
[ 3.588528] ata6: EH complete
Before I go exploding stuff, if anyone has a clue how to get the system
to auto-refresh itself, I'd appreciate the clue!! Thanks, Ric

Append: This MB is a MSI P6n SLI Platinum with a dual-core Intel CPU.
It's been weird setting this one up. It has issues, like the
multichannel sound output's humming like a nuclear reactor. It refuses
to recognize the EDID from one of two identical monitors. Yeah, fun...
Just for ducks I figured I'd try using hdparm
ric@ima:~$ sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ric@ima:~$
Weird stuff going on, a smidge past my pay-grade. This is a relatively
new DVD R/W which worked fine before. Google and I are becoming at odds
here. I'm not sure what to trust. Thanks, Ric

Q1: What are you system's specs?

My system shows the same fail messages. Before going low level, my
guess is that since data dvds mount OK, it is some kind of DVD
codec/playback issue.
What video player are you using for DVD playback?

What video player are you using for DVD playback?
You name 'em, I've installed and tried them all. Xine, VLC, MoviePlayer,
Totem-xine. The restricted extras all installed. libdvdcss2 installed
more than once. I figure it has to be that my hardware isn't up to
playing a DVD without DMA access enabled. Still googling... and what
sucks is that I've been here before and it's always something weird and
minuscule, like some init/config file off of the /etc directory! Ric

I have been where you are now. I haven't tried to use my computer as
a DVD player in quite some time because of problems like these.
On hearing about your problem, I decided to give it a try:
Totem tells me that the some of the software for playing DVDs is not
"officially supported".
I always just use the DVD-player we have attached to the television.
Though, I am NOT arguing you should do the same. Good luck.
