How should I go about debugging and fixing this issue? I have installed the udftools, libdvdcss, libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4 packages under Ubuntu but this has made no difference to the behaviour of the drive under Linux. I have tried connecting to a different USB port and I have tried a different USB cable, all without success. All the discs that don't mount under Ubuntu mount and read without issue under Windows, so I don't think that I have a bad drive or bad media. Also, my machine is a Windows/Ubuntu dual-boot setup and the drive will mount and read DVDs and all other discs in Windows 10 without any issues. Paradoxically, I can read and mount Bluray discs with the drive in Ubuntu without an issue. If I start the computer and boot to Ubuntu with a disc in the drive, for some reason the partitions efi and boot are present in the file browser (which they are not normally). If I try to shut down or restart the computer after this, the shutdown process hangs and I have to do a hard reset. When I connect the device to my machine and try to insert a DVD under Ubuntu (20.04 LTS), the disc spins and the drive tries to read it but the disc is never mounted.Įventually, the drive spins down. I have an Hitachi LG-WH16NS6 SATA DVD and Bluray drive mounted in an OWC Mercury Pro external USB 3 caddy.
