Brasero can't select DVD drive to burn image

same issue

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same problem on my system Oneiric...

Same here - tried 2 different DVD burners - they work in Arch linux (KDE4) and Winblows XP.

Also - k3b is not able to burn an .iso in Ubuntu 11.10

It's likewise here, and burning an image results in a bin file.

Thank you for your work, I've uploaded the fix to precise to start, it should still be sru-ed when somebody has the time to do the sru for it though

This bug was fixed in the package brasero - 3.2.0-0ubuntu5

brasero (3.2.0-0ubuntu5) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/git_drive_selection.patch: correctly display the default
    drive as selected, thanks "Fido" and Robert Roth (lp: #848340)

This is NOT fixed

As of today with all latest updates installed this is still an issue. See attachments.

Nautilus recognizes the blank CD for me to drag files to it, but if I right-click an ISO and choose "Write to Disc" the combo box where I choose the disc to write to is empty. You can still choose the "empty" space and click Burn and it works, but this is still a bug as it does not show the disc therefore making it seem as if it will not allow you to burn.

Hello Fido, or anyone else affected,

Accepted brasero into oneiric-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I' ve test it with:

brasero-common_3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1
brasero-cdrkit_3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1
brasero_3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1..
libbrasero-media3-1_3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1

and it didn't work, as a matter of fact now the buttons disapeared from the dialog ('Properties', 'Cancel', 'Burn Several copies', 'Burn'), they reappear only when the mouse pointer passes over the place where the buttons are supposed to be.

And a as a secondary bug (I can't remember if it was always like this), everytime you close the application in order to open it again you need to kill brasero. (Perhaps this should be another bug)

Confirmed, this doesn't work: the combo box remains blank. Marking as verification-failed (and should be tested on precise too again since it probably reacts just the same there too).

Please disregard the ravings of a lunatic. I did it all wrong, it obviously works properly... I didn't have the updated packages installed :)

It's still isn't working for me, in oneiric and precise...

I am not sure that we get the right package "brasero - 3.2.0-0ubuntu5" in Oneiric.
With oneiric-proposed enabled I still get "brasero - 3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1"

It works for me.

Now the combo box for selecting the destination disk is filled, not empty. Writing the alpha-2 image to a DVD-R works.

Ok, after all is well and finished brasero process stays around, but this is another bug I suppose.

Using ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric (i386) and "brasero - 3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1" from oneiric-proposed.

This bug was fixed in the package brasero - 3.2.0-0ubuntu1.1

When you insert a cd-dvd tell the dialog window to do something. (Open brasero or Kb3 etc)
If you choose "DO NOTHING" then it cannot detect the empty cd - dvd.
