Can not mount LabVIEW 8.6.1 DVD under Ubuntu 8.04 hardy system

[lock in]

Hi,

I hope to install LabVIEW 8.6.1 on one computer in my lab with ubuntu system 8.04 hardy.
When I tried to use LabVIEW 8.6.1 DVD (for Linux) to install, system indicates "Cannot mount volume. invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'ASLSP09MacLinux'."
My DVD rom should be OK because it can read LabVIEW DVD(for windows). Also,the DVD for linux should also be OK since anther computer with SUSE system can read it.

I am a beginner of Ubuntu. Anyone can tell me what I should do?

My result for "sudo fdisk -l" is

Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes

I also tried to use  LabVIEW image file (.nrg) to install. But my software AcetoneISO2 can only load LabVIEW 8.5 image file. 

It still can not load LabVIEW 8.6.1 image file.

Hope you can give some suggestions.

Thanks a lot.

I realize this might sound simple, but what did your mount command look like-which options did you use?

[G-Money]

Were you able to get his distribution up and running? Was it a command line error when you were trying to install the DVD? Does it always stop at that section in and give the mounting error?

I have the same problem. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Lenovo T61 7664 1KU. What I found concerning the DVD drive is the following:

Type	DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - removable plug-in module
Read Speed	24x (CD) / 8x (DVD)
Write Speed	24x (CD) / 8x (DVD±R) / 2x (DVD-R DL) / 2.4x (DVD+R DL)
Rewrite Speed	16x (CD) / 4x (DVD±RW) / 3x (DVD-RAM)

When I insert the Linux DVD of LabVIEW 8.6.1, Ubuntu tries to mount the medium, but then fails with a popup window giving the same message as in the first post. But the DVDs for Windows can be mounted without any problem.

"sudo cat /etc/fstab" gives the following information:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices

I'm pretty new on Linux, just installed Ubuntu 2 days ago. Hope you can help!

Ah, just found out that the reason could be, that the mac OS and the Linux distribution are on the same disc and it could be formated in mac format. I will work on that and post if I solved the problem.

I did not use mount commend. I just insert the DVD to the DVD rom.

Then double click the DVD rom icon. Then the error message just comes out.

[SebastianK]

I tried (with Ubuntu 9.04) a manual mount of the drive with these commands (I think ISO9660 and UDF are the standard filesystems for DVDs/CDs?):

$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
$ sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom

In both cases I get the same error message:

mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

 So I tried, what the above code suggested:

$ dmesg | tail

This is the result:

[10968.396447] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
[11035.652954] UDF-fs: No partition found (1)

It seems, that when trying to launch with the ISO filesystem the format of the DVD can not be identified at all and with the UDF filesystem the DVD can be identified, but no partition is recognized. Is this interpretation correct? So, as it does not work with both of the filesystems, is it possible, that I need to install an additional filesystem? On the DVD is the Linux distribution of LabVIEW as well as the MAC distribution. Is it possible, that the DVD has a MAC specific filesystem, which is not known to my Ubuntu?

Cheers,

Sebastian

Okay, it works now. I posted here, what finally worked for me.

Cheers,

Sebastian
