Ubuntu 20.04 didn't recognize Apple CD/DVD player

Is there a way to make my Apple USB Superdrive (External CD/DVD player) work with Ubuntu 20.04? Plugged in and drive was not recognized.

How do you *know* the drive wasn't recognized?

Nothing showed up in the Activities bar (vertical bar on the left hand side of the screen). When I plugged in a flash drive I get an icon in the bar showing me it was recognized. More importantly, I tried t load a CD in the external drive and it was not pulled in to begin play.

The media not being pulled in suggests it isn't getting enough power. That aside no, it shouldn't show up. Typically only with a (recognized) disc it will show up that media, not the drive itself.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
