It doesn't help that Sebastien Bacher, who declined this for Feisty, is not on the distribution list for this bug. Can I repeat Brian's call for someone to consider my patch and (hopefully) put an end to this bug. Also while reviewing this, note that the fix will also clear bug #66254 as it is th

Tom, I think it likely that the patch I had attached to my previous message (entitled Additional disc identification) provides a fix for problem with old drives. The issue is that newer drives have a command that returns the size of the disc, for older drives this command is missing, but you can

Folks might like to try the attached patch (I generated it as patch to 0.5.9, but it might work with earlier versions) to see if it resolves the problem. It worked for me, and I was able to install the resulting package onto my machine. ** Attachment added: "Additional disc identification" h

Despite my earlier comment, I have now got a patch for HAL that appears to work for me, based on code that was in Nautilus a while back. I have contacted the HAL developers so hopefully it will appear there sometime soon. In the mean time, I'll submit a patch here once I have it in appropriate fo

Mmm, interesting, I realise others are stumbling around the same problem as I have, though I had made my comments on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109763. As the HAL specification says that volume.disc.capacity is not mandatory, I guess HAL developers may not accept the idea of including the co

IMHO, this is may not be a bug in HAL, but a bug in nautilus-cd-burner, probably introduced at version 2.15. I have successfully written CD using nautilus-cd-burner 2.14.3 on my Feisty system. The problem appears to be that alternative strategies used to be adopted if volume.disc.capacity was n
