--- Comment #21 from Jan Buecken jb.faq@gmx.de --- (In reply to Olibuntu from comment #20)
The workaround from comment #12 does not to work for me in recent versions of *Ubuntu, since there is no fixed mount point for optical drives any more, but the mount point is created dynamically in /media when a medium is inserted.
Any ideas about this?
Since audio cds never get mounted, I believe it just depends hard on /mnt/cdrom. You may try
Create the directory manually
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
then apply the workaround
sudo chmod go+rx /mnt/cdrom
Now try to start EAC. Not tested.
