My dvd isn't detected on Manjaro

Hi there! I’m using Manjaro KDE edition.
When I was trying to use one of my dvds; I can’t find it on my file manager(dophin).
I don’t know what’s the reason of that.
Please help me :pray:

Is this only one specific dvd,

or all dvds inserted ?


Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information.

[HowTo] Provide System Information

  1. Please press the three dots below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  • You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.

Have you already searched for your problem in the forum ?
(Wisdom lies in reading :wink: )

Is it an external DVD? Is it a data disk or movie? Do you understand how to mount drives? Checked in the Devices panel of Dolphin to see if it’s there? Do you have the kio-slaves installed? If it’s a movie, can you play it with a media player?

for all dvds

no that’s built-in.

data disk.

Yes I do but my computer doesn’t notify me that the dvd is detected.

It doesn’t show my dvd.

How can I install that?

I can’t find the dvd on dolphin.

Only a partial answer to @andreas85 post.

The output of the command:

sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width

should list, among other things, the optical drive

use the package-manager and install “k3b”. mark all additional packages you are questioned to install.
after installation open a konsole and post the output of

cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -checkdrive

I just tried that and I can read my dvds now.
