In Ubuntu settings, there are options for the handling of removable media, for example to select what happens if one puts a CD into its drive. Inside there's a list of different software to choose from. Some programs installed as snap do show up, others don't. fre:ac isn't in the list. Is there a way to select it for starting automatically on CD-in-drive?
My laptop was working fine and its load average was between 0.2 - 0.5 (and around 0.02 while doing nothing) until I decide to upgrade it with an SSD.
First I replaced my HDD with SSD, moving HDD into a HDD Caddy, removing the optical drive and putting HDD there instead.
- Both my SSD and HDD are capable of working with SATA III interfaces.
However my HDD is working at SATA 2 mode:
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep SATA SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s)Seems my optical drive interface is SATA 2.
Problem
The problem is whenever there is something in HDD Caddy (SSD, HDD, Doesn't matter) load average while doing nothing is around 1.5 - 2 and while system is just booted up is around 4.
What did I done?
- I have tried any combination of setup nothing takes any effects.
What else?
- CPU usage is normal and no process is consuming the CPU.
- If I only use one disk as the main hard drive load average is normal.
- If I even use one disk at the optical drive place, I get high load average.
I've been running Ubuntu 18.10 on my media center since January. It's been working fine until recently where it keeps changing the audio device from the Optical/SPDIF Output (to my sound bar) to the HDMI audio from the onboard graphics. I have no idea why, and changing it back within the settings menu works fine.
I've tried using pavucontrol to force using the correct audio device, and it seemed to work for a couple hours. But it switched back again.
I'm completely at a loss, I haven't had this happen before. Any help would be appreciated.
machine: Inspiron 15R (5520)
O.S: dual boot Win10/ubuntu 18.04
I kept it on bios for 1 hour and it didn't ejected.
Doesn't happen when booted on Windows.
When I burn a DVD with Brasero, it asks me whether I want to close the DVD after burn or leave it open to add files later.
How do I check whether a DVD is read-only or it's still writable? I am talking of course of DVD-R, not DVD-RW disks.
I am looking for some kind of console command to check whether the disk is closed or not.
