Bug Description

When i insert a dvd disk, kubuntu show a new icon in the desktop, but this icon is named cdrom or cdrom0 althought my disc is a dvd.

The problem is that the name of the new icon is caught from the fstab file. And this produced a incorrect name if a dvd is inserted.

The name may to be the label of the cd/dvd inserted, or may to be detected if it is a cdrom or a dvd and put the correct name. But show always "cdrom" is not correct.

I can confirm this with two fresh installs of Edgy Final.

On my desktop, I have a CD-burner (cdrom0) and a DVD-reader (cdrom1). CDs and DVDs are shown "cdrom0" or "cdrom1" respectively.

On my laptop (HP nx6110) it's a DVD-reader, showing everything as "cdrom0".

IIRC before there were symlinks called /media/cdrom and /media/dvd to the appropriate drives. Now there are none on my desktop. My laptop has /media/cdrom pointing to /media/cdrom0, but no /media/dvd. Also I don't know, why only my laptop has this symlink (I didn't add it), but it doesn't cure the naming issue.

I also get cdrom0 instead of showing dvd's name

I deleted /media/cdrom and symlinks + removed cdrom stuff from /etc/fstab and now I see dvdrecorder in media and dvdrecord icon in desktop whenever I insert data cd or data dvd into dvd dual drive

what I would like to see is actually name of the dvd or cd

hal knows the label of the CD-ROM, but the Kubuntu media management layer has to actually use it. It works that way in gnome-vfs.

On Feisty, I tried inserting a DVD movie and I got a DVD icon on the desktop that said MovieName (cdrom0).

Do you get the right icons? How about the name?

I am going to fix release this and attaching the image to show. I do remember this in the past with this same exact DVD, and when i just now tried this issue isn't present. I am attaching a screenshot as proof. If you feel this is still an issue, I urge you to reopen this bug. Thank you.

NOTE: If you are using Feisty, I would recommend upgrading to KDE 3.5.7 via the instructions at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-357.php
