LM17.3: ‘Mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0’ error
Post by GreenFrog » Tue Mar 29, 2016 12:45 pm
My dvd drive is not very responsive: when I insert a dvd or a data cd in the drive and I use either Image Viewer, VLC or Xfburn, I have got the following error message:
Unable to access “dvd-rw” mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
sudo mkdir /media/dvd-rw sudo chown user:user /media/dvd-rw In fstab, using sudo leafpad /etc/fstab/ I added this line: /dev/sr0 /media/dvd-rw udf,iso9660 rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 then sudo mount -a
I also installed ubuntu-restricted-extras with Software Manager.
System: Kernel: 3.19.0-56-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 4.8.2) Desktop: Cinnamon 2.8.7 (Gtk 3.10.8~8+qiana) Distro: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa . Drives: HDD Total Size: 2120.4GB (1.1% used) ID-1: /dev/sda model: KINGSTON_SV300S3 size: 120.0GB temp: 28C ID-2: /dev/sdb model: ST2000DM001 size: 2000.4GB temp: 31C Optical: /dev/sr0 model: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS40 rev: 1.03 dev-links: cdrom Features: speed: 48x multisession: yes audio: yes dvd: yes rw: cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r,dvd-ram state: running
The command ‘ls -l /media/dvd-rw’ gives me ‘total 0’ as output.
So should I swap the LG dvd drive for another one?
Thank you for your help,
Guy

Question 1: why is it ‘[sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/48x writer’ and not ‘. 48x/48x’?
I installed libcdio-utils and udftools
sudo apt-get install libcdio-utils
sudo apt-get install udftools

Question 2: /dev/cdrom seems to be the default drive, it should be /dev/sr0, shouldn’t it?
‘/dev/sr0’: No medium found
это я исключаю, т.к. при перезагрузке модулей sr_mod и cdrom и многократной попытки обратится к диску, он всё таки отвечает, а потом ещё и корректно читается.

How do I fix «can’t open /dev/sr0: No medium found» on USB boot?
I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop using thumb drive, but it failed, even though I used the standard Startup Disk Creator utility. The laptop is a a Dell Studio 1536. The problem shows as:
stdin: error 0 /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found .
I’ve mounted ISO image from my home directory under the BusyBox shell, so the question is how to start the installation process from this stage?

I’ve had the same problem the entire night. It’s due to the installer not recognizing the USB drive after it’s booted to BusyBox.
To fix this, you need to press F6 and modify the boot options. First, remove «quiet splash» from the options and add «break debug» in it’s place. Continue installation as normal from this point. Eventually, it will break and you’ll be presented with the BusyBox shell, and see plenty of the errors relating to this.
Are you ready for the next step? I promise you, it’s an advanced manuver that even Han Solo himself would struggle to attempt.
Step 1: Unplug your USB drive
Step 2: Plug your USB drive back in
Step 3: Type exit and press
Step 4: Wait 5-30 seconds and you’ll be booted into your Ubuntu graphical installer.
Note: I’ve verified this works for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. I’ve been working on this problem for about 4 hours tonight and this is what worked for me, after trying every imaginable method of configuration flags for both the installer and BIOS. I am using a Toshiba Satellite C655D and using a 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive as the installation media.
I hope this helps someone, as I was about to go back to Windows after this nightmare.
