Attachments: Dolphin showing no cd/dvd item when should (CD is ready to use)

Description f_ii 2012-12-23 04:18:39 CST
Description of problem:

CD/DVD notification does not work properly.

USB devices when plugged in causes to appear dialog with actions properly.

Unfortunatelly my DVD drive does invoke that action dialog. DVD drive and medium are fina as I'm able to mount the CD/DVD manually as root using mount without any problem.

Konqueror's storage media or Control Center's Storage devices do not show the CDROM listed.

My /etc/fstab generated by anaconda looks like this:
  UUID=af2...1 /                       ext4    defaults        1 1
  UUID=f76...a swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
I believe this should be fine, correct?


When I look into dmesg output I can see this:
  [  420.862531] cdrom: sr0: mrw address space DMA selected
  [  420.930018] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3

  [  420.954087] SELinux: initialized (dev sr0, type iso9660), uses genfs_contexts


/var/log/messages do not show anything related.

HAL seems to be running:

Selinux do not block anything (no AVCs).

No related errors in ~/.xsession-errors

Listing hardware show that DVD/CDROM is there (lshw below)

On desktop no icon with CDROM (before after inserting media).
I played a bit with Control Center -> Hardware -> Storage Media -> Advanced options (for instance Mount automatically having no effect)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Comment 3 Timothy Pearson 2013-05-09 10:39:09 CDT
TDE R14.0.0 contains a complete rewrite of the media manager and does not rely on HAL.  I suspect many of the problems you are seeing might be due to HAL malfunctioning on newer systems, so TDE R14.0.0 might resolve this report.

Are you able to test TDE R14.0.0 on your system?
Comment 4 Darrell 2013-06-28 20:02:24 CDT
The OP cited the problem as applying to 3.5.13. I am seeing the same problem in a very recent R14. I haven't tested CD/DVDs in a while so I don't know when this problem started. Not long ago I had no problems with physical CDs/DVDs.

If you want I'll start a new report. The problem is one of those that should block R14 from being released because too many people depend upon the notification popups. I have checked medianotifierrc and I do not have anything there that would prevent the CD/DVD popups from appearing. I have tested with both a data CD and a video DVD and have tested on two different machines. No popup. :-(
Comment 5 Timothy Pearson 2013-06-28 20:52:30 CDT
Your current tdelibs build includes GIT hash d6816283, correct?
Comment 6 Darrell 2013-06-28 21:20:03 CDT
>Your current tdelibs build includes GIT hash d6816283, correct?

Nope. I will rebuild and test again, but I am seeing the following:

* Popups for optical disks appear only once. Ejecting and closing the tray results in no subsequent popup. I have to restart the Trinity session to see another popup, and again, only once.

* Video DVD, Data DVD, Data CD: the popup incorrectly says: "Medium Type Unmounted Hard Disk Volume." Based upon tdebase/tdeioslave/media/mimetypes, probably should say "Unmounted DVD," or "Unmounted CD-ROM," respectively.
Comment 7 Timothy Pearson 2013-06-28 21:30:32 CDT
Sounds exactly like what I was experiencing (a regression) before d6816283. :-)
Comment 8 Darrell 2013-06-28 22:25:37 CDT
I rebuilt tdelibs with commit d6816283. Popups now appear more than once without restarting the session. CDs/DVDs are now (sort of) identified correctly.

I wrote "sort of" because when I inserted a populated CD-RW, the popup identified the disk as "Unmounted CD Writer." Kind of weird English. :-) I would expect something like "Unmounted CD-RW" or "Unmounted Writable CD." The desktop icon label showed the name of the disk.

When I inserted a blank CD-RW, the popup identified the media type as "Blank CD," but the desktop icon was labeled "Blank CDRW."

When I inserted a blank DVD+RW, the popup identified the media type as "Unknown," but the desktop icon was labeled "Blank DVDRW."

When I inserted a populated data DVD+RW, the popup identified the media type as "Unmounted DVD." Made sense.

When I inserted commercial video DVDs, the popup identified the media type as "Unmounted DVD" rather than something like "DVD Video Disk."

None of these are blockers but perhaps the could we do better with consistency?
Comment 9 Timothy Pearson 2013-08-16 14:05:40 CDT
Video DVDs (commercial or not!) are now detected properly.  I don't have as BluRay disk or drive (due to both mandatory AACS and the availability of cheap hard drives for long-term data storage I boycotted the medium from its inception), so I can't test or fix support for BluRay video disks.  Someone else could probably fix the detection fairly easily, and I would push such a patch to GIT with no problems. :-)
Comment 10 Darrell 2013-08-16 14:17:18 CDT
>Video DVDs (commercial or not!) are now detected properly.
This seems related to bug report 1612.

Here is what I see with a rebuilt tqt3/tdelibs/tdebase as of only an hour ago:

Blank CD-RW
===========
Notification popup: "Medium type: Blank CD" <--- close enough?
Desktop icon: Devices: gold cdwriter unmounted
Desktop icon text: "Blank CD-RW"

Blank DL DVD+R
==============
Notification popup: "Medium type: Unknown" <--- Incorrect
Desktop icon: Mimetypes: "Empty" <--- Incorrect
Desktop icon  label: "Blank Dual Layer DVD+R"

Blank DL DVD+RW
===============
Notification popup: "Medium type: Unknown" <--- Incorrect
Desktop icon: Mimetypes: "Empty" <--- Incorrect
Desktop icon label: "Blank DVD+RW"
Comment 11 Darrell 2013-10-23 16:17:59 CDT
Just a guess:

I suspect MOUNT_SUFFIX is not being defined correctly in tdebase/tdeioslave/media/mediamanager/tdehardwarebackend.cpp. I seem to remember this working in hal based systems (tdebase/tdeioslave/media/mediamanager/halbackend.cpp).

Not defining MOUNT_SUFFIX would leave the mimetype unknown, which would affect the labels and icons.

This is trivial to fix; the incorrect strings are contained within the desktop files in tdebase/tdeioslave/media/mimetypes/ and can be edited quite easily.  I just need to know what the correct phrase would be to replace the current one.  As an aside, the German i18n strings (the only non-English i18n strings in those files) also say something equivalent to "unmounted CD burner" so they would need to be fixed as well.

I'm working on the other faults now.  MOUNT_SUFFIX is properly defined, so no problem there; I am attempting to trace the problem.

Even worse, there are a couple of files ("cdwriter_mounted.desktop" and "cdwriter_unmounted.desktop") with full i18n translations that all map to the incorrect phrasing.  I wonder if we should deleted all the translations or just keep them with the bad phrasing and a FIXME?

This part of the bug only affected certain blank media types (due to a stupid copy+paste problem when originally writing the media backend) and should now be fixed in GIT hash 226c78e.  Can you test and confirm?
Comment 15 Timothy Pearson 2014-07-12 17:33:06 CDT
Changing to NEEDINFO as I need to know the correct strings to use in the popup notification.  My suggestion is "Mounted CD-R(W)" but I would like approval from another project member before changing this.
Comment 16 Darrell 2014-07-13 15:04:44 CDT
As far as I can test, the problems affecting blank optical disks are resolved.

Commit 830ebe6f resolved the incorrect icon for DVDs.

Any thoughts on the new text strings as mentioned in Comment 15?  I'd like to fix those and close out this bug if possible.

Thanks!
Comment 18 Darrell 2014-07-15 16:08:55 CDT
>Any thoughts on the new text strings as mentioned in Comment 15?
No, because I have not followed this bug report closely. To what strings are you referring? If you are referring to the translations, I don't know what to do. I don't see how we can be held responsible for translations with no translators helping. English will have to be the default.

Has the original report been resolved?
Comment 19 Timothy Pearson 2014-10-06 12:18:18 CDT
Media tdeioslave modified to properly distinguish between CD-R and CD-RW disks in GIT hash d922703.  Popups should now be consistent.  I have updated as many translations as I could at the same time, however a few will still translate to an approximation of "Unmounted CD-Writer" until updated by an appropriate translator.

Thanks for reporting!
