This is very serious, as for most users it would mean CD burning is entirely impossible.
It seems to be associated with either... * having run Brasero to burn a CD with the windowed client within the same session * allowing automount behaviour to trigger Brasero with the Nautilus-embedded client I suspect it's to do with the automount behaviour, which is presumably an 'instance' of Brasero which someone thinks is more easy to use than the client itself (by dragging and dropping files). This doesn't cut it for burning ISOs though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/907311 Title: Not exiting properly? "An instance of Brasero is already running, exiting" Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After successfully burning an ISO file (by clicking on it in nautilus) I am unable to burn any more. Double-clicking ISO files has no effect. Running brasero from the launcher does nothing. If I open a terminal to run brasero, I get: $ brasero ** (brasero:4117): WARNING **: An instance of Brasero is already running, exiting The only solution is to $ killall brasero (Edit to add: there is no icon in the dock(?) indicating that brasero is running, and alt-tab does not show it, so I can't switch to it).
