Originally posted here, but it works on my laptop with Ubuntu, so it must be something with Gentoo on my desktop: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170287 This is a pretty weird bug. I have udev-045, dbus 0.23.2, hal-0.4.5 and gnome-volume-manager-1.2.0, gamin-0.0.25, vanilla linux-2.6.11 patched w/ inotify-0.20-rml-2.6.11-3.patch. Basically, I can stick in a DVD and it will get mounted, but apps like nautilus and totem do not see it as mounted. Relevant line from /etc/fstab: /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto exec,user,noauto,managed 0 0 gnome-volume-manager: gnome-volume-manager manager.c/993: mount_all: mounting /dev/hda1 mount: can't find /dev/hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab manager.c/993: mount_all: mounting /dev/hdc mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only manager.c/993: mount_all: mounting /dev/hde2 mount: only root can mount /dev/hde2 on /boot manager.c/849: Mounted: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_FALLENANGELS mount: /dev/hdc on /media/cdrom type udf (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=aethyr) $ ls /media/cdrom AUDIO_TS VIDEO_TS Yet if I go to computer in Nautilus and right click on "CD-ROM/DVD-Rom Drive" it says "Mount Volume". And when I go to play the movie in totem I get the following error: Failed to play Audio/Video Disc Unexpected error status 8192 while mounting /media/cdrom It is not until AFTER I click on "Mount Volume" from the Computer folder that everything works. What happens when I do that is it brings up a dialog box that says: Mount Error Unable to mount the selected volume. mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /media/cdrom busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted on /media/cdrom I can click "OK" there, and then in the same Computer window I can see "CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive: FALLENANGELS" (with a nice little movie icon). At that point totem will play the movie OK. I notice that nothing else happens in the gnome-volume-manager output (i.e. no new events), and nothing changes in /etc/fstab or in the `mount` output, so I have no idea what nautilus and totem are seeing differently.

I noticed something weird. If I go to the command line and add/remove files, they show up instantly in nautilus. However, if I go to the command line and mount/unmount partitions, the changes do not show up in Computer. The changes do not show up until I do a "/etc/init.d/dbus restart". I'm stumpted :P
