Bug#497226: brasero: Burn button disabled. No indication of why.

Sun Aug 31 03:26:31 UTC 2008

Package: brasero
Version: 0.8.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When selecting a .iso file to burn to a rewritable DVD, the Burn button is greyed out and can not be 
clicked.  There is no information displayed as to why the button is disabled.

Either the button should be enabled or there should be a message indicating the reason it is disabled.

To reproduce this bug:

1) Either start Brasero directly and select "Burn image" or use Nautilus, right click on a .iso file and 
select "Open with Brasero Disc Burning".

2) Image Burning Setup dialog appears.

Select a disc to write to: shows the systems DVD-RW drive, disk is in.
Size: 4.4 GB free.
Status: "the medium can be recorded (automatic blanking required)"
Number of copies: is greyed out - set to 1
Path: set to the image file.  It is a prepared .iso 2.2 GB in size.
Image type: "Let brasero choose (safest)".  There are no other options in the dropdown.

Cancel button is lit and can be clicked.
Burn button is greyed out and can not be clicked.

There are no additional messages explaining why Burn is disabled.

Right clicking in Nautilus and selecting "Open with CD/DVD Creator" instead, successfully burns the 
same .iso image to the same disk and drive.

Brasero is capable of erasing the disk using Tools/Erase.
