Just starting using this distro. After a series of headaches I got it working okay so far. I am using XFCE for my DE. I was using #! before and I used to have my cd/dvd roms, ntfs partitions, and usb drives automounted and ready to use showing up in the side pane of Thunar.
Now I can get the NTFS partitions to show up but when I use psydm (as I alwas used in #!) to mount and set parameters I won't let me change from read only to read and write. Even if I change permissions in root.
The CD/DVD rom icon appears but when I click it it asks me for my password (I have gksu installed) then I get this error:
Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sr0: Command-line `mount "/media/cdrom0"' 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
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
And I get nothing when I insert a USB stick.
Is there any particular package I am missing? My fstab is as follows:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
# UUID=17f60ebb-4d77-417f-b0b0-8d2396838085
/dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# UUID=bad53547-f848-41f8-ba70-1e7b8bf77d41
/dev/sda2 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
/dev/sda3 /media/sda4 ntfs nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/sda4 /media/sda3 ntfs nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
All my drives except the linux partitions mounted automaticlly in /media in #!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

thanks! that clears up my usb and hard drive problem.
Now the cdrom is still asking for a password and giving me the error.

does "dmesg | tail" tell you anything useful?
(edit) try using "auto" for the filesystem type:
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
