    [DESKTOP] How to rip audio CD in Kubuntu (Neon)?

    It's worst than just ripping. The system just does not "see" either of my DVD drives, one internal, one USB. Is there a way to rip a CD in Kubuntu or not?

    The same USB drive works fine on my wife's computer with ... Windows 10.

    How humiliating.

    K3b, or any other Linux ripping tools *should* work in neon, and install any required dependencies.
    Same as it would be for Kubuntu/Ubuntu.
    If the drives are not even being detected, that might indicate hardware issues.

    I have an older USB optical drive, as well as on on my crusty old laptop, and they both seem to work, and are detected, though I have no media to see what libraries may be missing, if any, to show any disks inserted.

      Actually, yes, the drive is not detected. All I see in dmesg is this:

      $ sudo dmesg | grep sr0
      [ 1.763049] sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
      [ 1.825543] sr 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
      but this is old, it was there yesterday. (I have ranted for 20 years about how dmesg should display a timestamp, but ...)

      I connect the external USB drive (which works perfectly under Win10), it makes some noises. I put in a CD, it makes more noises, and that's it.

      I have no idea how to debug this. The problem has been reported here, but there is no solution.

        So the system is detecting the hardware.
        I assume that inserting a disc does not show any change in dmesg??
        Do not discount the age or condition of the laser, or the media, even if it does work other OSs, I will wager that those tools have built in tools for handling this

        Ksystemlog, a GUI viewer for many logs, does show proper timestamps.
        Or dmesg -T

        What software do you have installed?
        If k3b, maybe try Brasero. I have seen k3b declining in development, and I wonder if this may be a factor here.

        I found a mini-cd with drivers for a network card. I plopped it into my no-name Ebay special USB optical drive, and ....it worked.

        After inserting that disk, it does show in Dolphin

        I have no record-able discs

          You can also rip a CD with VLC IF it can see the drive.

            You can rip CDs straight in dolphin (or any kio-enabled file manager), with "kio-audiocd" package:
            https://userbase.kde.org/Kio-audiocd
            https://apps.kde.org/kio_audiocd/

            But obviously that requires a functioning drive/disc, it that's the core problem.
