Description Tony Blackwell 2013-01-17 12:26:46 CET 
1. after initial software install, attempts to install further software fail as MCC keeps asking for the install disk, despite it being present.  /media/cdrom is empty.
Manually running 'mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' fixes the problem.

2. Any DVD inserted has an icon appear on the desktop, but clicking on this does not open it.  Instead, get error message:
Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sr0: Command-line `mount "/media/cdrom'` exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error.


These 2 examples appear to be the same underlying problem.

Do you happen to have a line about /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab?

and what desktop are you using
Comment 3 Tony Blackwell 2013-01-19 12:58:57 CET 
/etc/fstab

# Entry for /dev/sdb1 :
UUID=e59f0b97-6972-4709-bff2-1e79ad94ba17 / ext3 acl,relatime 1 1
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

Sorry, pretty obvious need to know the desktop.  It's xfce
Comment 4 Tony Blackwell 2013-01-19 13:01:29 CET 
Note also of course that the entry in fstab is wrong, in that the install (with ATA and SATA disks present) saw the ture target for the install as sdb, whereas it's really sda.  See other bug report on this.
Comment 5 Sander Lepik 2013-01-19 13:14:17 CET 
Can you please remove that line from fstab and try again?
Comment 6 Tony Blackwell 2013-01-19 13:28:52 CET 
Sorry, I've given some wrong info in the immediately prior note.  See bug 5613, re-opened.  In fact while its true as above that the disk always seen as sda in earlier versions is now seen as sdb by the installer, at least when the installed system reboots it now still sees the system as sdb.  This is a recent fix - so fstab is correct given the way M3 enumerates the disks.  

I note I have the same problem on a laptop which has only one disk, sda.

I meant the line about cdrom to be precise.
Comment 8 Tony Blackwell 2013-01-19 13:44:20 CET 
removed it anyway, and it fixed the problem.  Clicking on the DVD icon which appears in my xfce desktop will now open a view of the contents normally.

Does urpmi work as well? Please comment in the other bug. I will mark this one as duplicate.

Thanks!
