I have a puzzling problem I could use some help with. The computer will not burn DVD discs, recognize blank DVDs, recognize DVD movie discs. However, the computer does automatically recognize and automount Audio CDs, blank CD-R discs, and data DVD-Rs.
I have tried burning with K3b and other programs but it isn't an application-specific problem. There seems to be some system level problem with recognizing blank DVDs (and commercial movie DVDs). I upgraded the system recently so the problem may be a result of that, but it could have been there for a while and I didn't notice until now. I haven't tried to burn any discs in a couple months. But until recently (well until a couple months ago) all of this worked OK. The kernel, programs, permissions etc were all set up OK and nothing seems to have changed. (growisofs, dvd+rw-tools, etc ARE installed correctly) Note that the drive DOES work (it lights come on, it opens and closes OK) and there is no problem automounting blank or pre-recorded CDs. The problem seems to be JUST with blank DVDs and commercially recorded movie DVDs. I tried several different blank DVDs from a pack that I have used previously with no problems (ie - the problem isn't the medium). K3b, gnome etc all just tell me "no media found". Weird huh? Any advice on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Craig Debian AMD64 unstable, gnome desktop -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
