[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#753379: base: CD, DVD not detected

[Francewhoa]

Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It's my first report using "Reportbug"

What led up to the situation?
• Steps to reproduce bug
1. Insert any CD or DVD
2. The CD or DVD is not automatically detected by the system

What outcome did you expect instead?
• Expected result is the system should automatically detect the CD or DVD

What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
• Running the following command in Root Terminal fixed the issue without
reboot and is permanent on reboot
echo 2000 > /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs
