Just posting some relevant troubleshooting info in case this comes up again.

I am in Mint 17 right now so just posting what I know from there.

Code:

sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools

If it says it already newest version , no sweat.

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libcdio-utils
[sudo] password for harry:

After installing the above. I went out to my Truck and grabbed my Tubular Bells CD which is what I listen to for christmas music.
I insert it and let it autorun but I say don't play it.
Next in Terminal.

cd-info won't run till you install libcdio-utils. It is not a big install as I show and it just for gathering info to post in forums when having trouble with you dvd or cd player.

Code:

$ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0
INQUIRY:                [Slimtype][DVD A DS8A5SH   ][XS21]
GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION:
:-( non-DVD media mounted, exiting...

Since I have a cd in the drive instead of a DVD. I do not get a more verbose readout and it exits. Just posting info like I said.

Below is Audacious music player playing my Christmas CD.

Hopefully this will help future DRM Threads. I know myt Tubular Bells disc is not DRM. But this was done to show how to properly post
when really earnest trying to get assistance and not trolling which is my take on this thread.

Merry Xmas, Rok
