Optical Drive not being found

[nickjpg]

Mike,

What exactly is the simple fix?? I have the sg module loaded, with valid sg device for the CDROM, and yet only version prior to 1.10.9 on my Debian (arch based) system can locate the drive.

I have sg loaded, i.e.:
# lsmod | grep sg
sg 29973 0 ll /dev/sg*
scsi_mod 191405 4 sg,libata,sd_mod,sr_mo

lsscsi shows the cdrom at [2:0:0:0], i.e.:
# lsscsi -v

I have /dev/sg2 populated for the cdrom, i.e.:

crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 5 Jan 24 19:55 /dev/sg5

I have /dev/sr0 populated for cdrom, i.e.:
# ll /dev/sr*
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jan 24 19:55 /dev/sr0

sg_map shows /dev/sg2 mapped to /dev/sr0 and they are on [2.0.0.0], i.e.:
# sg_map -sr -x
/dev/sg0 0 0 0 0 0
/dev/sg1 1 0 0 0 0

Please advise.

This issue also is present with arch based distros.

Linux version 4.14.14-1-MANJARO (builduser@manjaro) (gcc version 7.2.1 20171224 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 17 22:34:54 UTC 2018

However I can confirm that

sudo modprobe sg

fixes this issue.

basti0001,

If you look at my output, you will see that I indeed already have the sg module loaded. So in my arch case the sg module is NOT the issue.

Best Regards

[JokerJim]

While I'm not a complete Linux noob, I am not versed at the level of detail into the operating system to have been messing with modules before.

From what I can read online, newer versions of Ubuntu had the sg module internal as opposed to a loadable module. When I ls -la /dev/sg* and ls -la /dev/sr*, I get the following:

Code: Select all

ls -la /dev/sg*
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 0 Dec  4 22:53 /dev/sg0
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 1 Dec  4 22:53 /dev/sg1
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 2 Dec  4 22:53 /dev/sg2
crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 3 Dec  4 22:53 /dev/sg3

crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 6 Dec  4 22:53 /dev/sg6

crw-rw----  1 root disk  21, 8 Dec  4 22:53 /dev/sg8

and

Code: Select all

brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jan 28 03:01 /dev/sr0

Now, if I've figured this correctly and am reading the above right, /dev/sg7 and /dev/sr0 both are pointing to my DVD drive... however, I am still not able to get to the DVD in the newest version of MakeMKV.

I would appreciate some more help, and please remember that I'm a fair noob and probably need some pretty basic instructions... it took me 45 minutes of searching on Google (thanks to the reams of pages about modules and how common the phrase is) to find how to add module... and while looking for that, I found the site that claims that sg is no longer needed on Ubuntu... and I followed instructions on that page to do:

Code: Select all

find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -type f -name "*.ko" | grep sg

and found no existing sg.ko file...

So, if it's internal, then I should be working and if it's not, I cannot load it because the file doesn't exist... so where can I download it?

Thank you,

Thank you,

I can echo everything that JokerJim said above for my Ubuntu 14.04.5, including my noob status.

I did find the module here: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/#mozTocId689512 . However, after downloading it I discovered that it won't install:

Code: Select all

sudo insmod sg.c
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module sg.c: Invalid module format

I have also heard that sg is no longer needed yet, as JokerJim, 'ls -la /dev/sg*' lsts all my drives, including my two optical drives, and I get the same list wth 'lsscsi -g.' And 'sudo modprobe sg' returns nothing, not even an error message.

Hey mike admin,

Can you give specific instructions on your simple fix??

# hexdump -C /sys/bus/scsi/devices/2:0:0:0/inquiry
hexdump: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/2:0:0:0/inquiry: No such file or directory

[JohnJasonJordan]

Ubuntu 14.04.5. I get the same results as nickjpg, including the failure of # hexdump -C /sys/bus/scsi/devices/2:0:0:0/inquiry.

[alexsd]

i'm at a loss here too. i've tried everything posted in this thread.

i'm on unraid 6.3.5.

can you take a look, mike?

i can't tell if the sg driver's loaded or not. /sys/module/sg/ is present though.

i'm at a loss here too. i've tried everything posted in this thread.

i'm on unraid 6.3.5.

can you take a look, mike?

Are you running MakeMKV inside a docker container? If yes, then I recommend that you post your issue on the support thread (unRAID forum) of the container . An incorrect container configuration can prevent the detection.

I installed 1.10.10 on my Lint(rebecca) system and it worked like a charm. I installed back in October 2017, ripped a few Blu-Rays and a few DVDs. Haven't used it since. Now I get the "cannot find any usable drives" error. I reinstalled after removing the old version with the Software Manager not sure of which version I had previously installed, then reinstalled version 1.10.10. Same error, and I realized that I had 1.10.10 installed back in October 2017.

What I didn't do is enter the beta key since I was planning on purchasing a license at some point. A key difference in my current reinstalled version in the lack of the MakeMKV icon in the system launcher. It seems that having not entered the beta key or purchasing one, more than 60 days has gone by, but now I'm stuck? I have
now entered the beta key, restarted, no change.

The preferences menu is available.

I really would prefer to purchase a license for my Linux system as oppose to my iMac. Can't trust Apple won't muck it up. I don't have any Windows systems.

Probably time to just give up any stop using computers altogether. Oh well.

MakeMKV's license is applicable to all three.

I’ve used a licensed version on my Mac for almost 5 years with zero issues.

Still waiting for "mike admin" to provide detailed instructions on his "simple fix".
