[Bug 395964] [NEW] CD-ROM not shown on the desktop/Places

[uga]

Public bug reported:

I am using Ubuntu 9.04

After you insert a CD the CD-ROM mounts but no link is placed on the
desktop or Places. I am using a USB CD-ROM.

I can see the disk mounted to /media/cdrom0, but the permissions are not
allowing the current user to browse it. If I go sudo, I can browse the
CD (not exactly an average user solution), as you can see from the
following shell output:

uga at terminus:~$ cd /media
uga at terminus:/media$ ls
cdrom  cdrom0  DataOne  DataThree  DataTwo  floppy  floppy0
uga at terminus:/media$ cd cdrom0
bash: cd: cdrom0: Permission denied
uga at terminus:/media$ sudo su
root at terminus:/media# cd /media/cdrom0
root at terminus:/media/cdrom0# ls
autorun.inf  Setup
root at terminus:/media/cdrom0# cd ..
root at terminus:/media# ls -l
total 18
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    6 2009-04-28 08:27 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwx------ 3  400  401 2048 2005-09-23 03:10 cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-07-03 21:41 DataOne
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-06-15 12:36 DataThree
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-06-15 12:35 DataTwo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    7 2009-04-28 08:27 floppy -> floppy0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-04-28 08:27 floppy0
root at terminus:/media# 

As you can see the CD is there and is perfectly browsable. The problem
is that /media/cdrom0 belongs to user:group 400:401, and only the user
has any permissions rwx.

The attached screenshot shows the absence of the CD from the Places.

Thanks,

Yegor
