Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

Hello guys.

I'm writting this post because I am having issue with my CD/DVD burner/reader. 
Basically - I can't read any DVD (when CD seems to work fine) and i can't burn anything.
I use Arch Linux x86_64 up-to-date.

Important fact could be that when i try to boot from my pen-drive with Slax (v.6.1.2),
CD/DVD burning and reading works just fine.

When i try to read a DVD in Arch, i got this in dmesg:

sr 3:0:1:0: [sr0] Unhandled sense code

end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 4096

and this in console output:

[root@cytron:~]$ mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device

And of course i tried at least few discs.

And this happens when i try to burn something:

I thought it can be connected to this bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18119
but i am not sure anymore.

Do you have any clue or thoughts? I'm kind of lost. And this is my desktop computer, burning or reading optical discs are sort of needed.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

Also experiences some problems with reading and burning disks. So this can be confirmed.

Don't you guys have any clues how to find at least cause of all those issues, do you?

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

Hi there! Actually, I have Fedora12, but I'm experiencing same problems with my DVD after going x86_64 (All was OK on 32 bit)
CD reading/writing  works fine, DVD mounts and looks OK, but after trying to play a movie, for exapmle, I have following errors in syslog:

sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]
sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Read of scrambled sector without authentication
sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 04 2a b6 00 00 02 00
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1092312

Looks pretty same issue with what was posted here before.
I would like to find out what's going on.

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

Have you both HAL and D-Bus in your daemon list (rc.conf)? And are your user member of the optical group?

In my case - yes, D-BUS and HAL are running in my system and i am member of optical group.

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

Which DE/WM do you run? I know that I need to add -ck-launch-session to my .xinitrc.

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

I do have ck-launch-session into mine .xinitrc.

[wojo@cytron:~]$ grep ck .xinitrc 
exec ck-launch-session startfluxbox

But it does not change anything since i try to mount cd/dvd by console as root.

EDIT
We were talking yesterday on IRC about this kind of problem. Bad news is there is several topics connected to CD/DVD issues with Arch GNU/Linux in last few months.
I believe it is something bigger, but i'm not sure what is causing it. And it seems be serious.

There have been released new version of util-linux-ng, but it does not solve my problem.
Any clues now?

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

Since this isn't [solved], I'll post here.

My dvd's stopped working couple days ago.. I'll guess it was after I updated some stuff.

I can play cds and mount dvds, just can't play movies with mplayer or vlc.

#mplayer dvd://1

ETC

Edit: Oh, now dvds work with VLC, but mplayer doesn't play them. This is weird.

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

I have exactly the same problem.

I am member of optical group, I can't burn anything, reading CDs works fine, I can't read DVDs (it fails after +- 1GB of data - I/O error) or sometimes even mount them. My dmesg looks similar.

I've found another thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98288 , perhaps it is connected only with some of the LG drives?

Re: Weird behavior of CD/DVD driver device on Arch x86_64 up-to-date.

My system won't read data DVDs, but will play movies in VLC just fine. For the record, I have an almost brand new LG drive.
