Public bug reported: I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.10 server install CD, but brasero doesn't seem to recognize my CD burner. Below are the steps I took:
1. Running brasero with just the image file "brasero /build/tmp/ubuntu-12.10-beta-server.iso" The window comes up and recognizes the .iso file, but doesn't see any devices I can write to. There's a blank CD in the drive. 2. Running brasero normally, and clicking "Burn Image". Same thing happens -- after selecting the .iso file, it doesn't see any devices. 3. Trying to specify the device path I tried passing "--device=" for the following devices: /dev/sdc, /dev/sg0, /dev/sg2, like so: brasero -i /build/tmp/ubuntu-12.10-beta1-server-amd64.iso --device=/dev/sdc I also tried just passing "sdc" (i.e., no /dev path). In all cases, it just popped up a window saying: "Wrong Command Line Option. /dev/sdc cannot be found." However, the file is certainly there: $ ls -l /dev/sdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Sep 24 09:57 /dev/sdc And there don't seem to be any issues in dmesg: [ 4.572476] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC 1.82 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 4.574123] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 4.589903] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: brasero 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-27.43-generic 3.2.21 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-27-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Oct 2 11:10:39 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: brasero UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-30 (154 days ago) ** Affects: brasero (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060107 Title: brasero doesn't see my CD burner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/1060107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
