Bug#604407: brasero: Can't record or blank any CDs

[Luís Picciochi Oliveira]

Package: brasero
Version: 2.30.3-1
Severity: important


I can't record any CDs with brasero.
When I choose the "Burn image" option with a CD-R inside the recorder it tells
me:
"Blank CD-R Disc: not enough free space"

Well... It's a blank CD-R disc indeed. But The image I selected is only
301.4MB. Why is it telling me that this 700MB disc doesn't have enough space?

Using a CD-RW, the same thing appears. Also, the "Disc Blanking" dialog says
that there is "No disc available".


I could erase the CD-RW and record it by using wodim. Everything went fine.
( wodim dev=/dev/sr1 blank=all ; wodim dev=/dev/sr1 image.iso )


I have a DVD-ROM and a CD-Recorder on this machine:
- sr0 is the DVD-ROM -- it can't record anything;
- sr1 is the CD-recorder -- it can record CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

$ ls /dev/ | grep sr
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 Nov 21 23:38 cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 Nov 21 23:41 cdrom1 -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 Nov 21 23:41 cdrw1 -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 Nov 21 23:38 dvd -> sr0

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 Nov 21 23:38 scd0 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 Nov 21 23:41 scd1 -> sr1
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom    11,   0 Nov 21 23:38 sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom    11,   1 Nov 21 23:41 sr1
