Description Rodd Clarkson 2004-10-12 20:58:06 UTC 
Try this:

1. Insert a blank CD/DVD in an appropriate drive for burning.  It should show up
on the desktop as "Blank CD-R Disc" or similar (Fedora Core 3 Test 2 in my case)
2. Either drag files to the resulting window and then burn to disk, or find and
dot-iso file on your system and right click > Write To Disc...
3. When prompted, tell the dialog not to eject the disk and then start the burn.

What happens:

When the disk finishes burning it stays in the drive.  If you double click the
"Blank CD-R Disc" is opens a window to allow you to burn files to disk.

What should happen:

After the burn is finished, the disk should be mounted, replacing the "Blank
CD-R Disc" icon with the approriate label.  When you double click the icon, the
contents of the newly burnt disc should be shown instead of the "CD/DVD Creator"
window.
Comment 1 Rodd Clarkson 2004-10-12 21:11:09 UTC 
It's worth mentioning that currently the only ways to mount the CD after burn is
to eject the disk, reboot the system, or drop to the command line.

Any attempt to mount the disk from the GUI involved ejecting the disk and then
closing the drive door.

Even if the user doesn't want the disk mounted, it still makes more sense for
the disk to open showing the content, rather than suggesting that the burn
didn't work (by showing a blank media icon and poping open the creator window).

Marking as new
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2004-11-29 15:38:19 UTC 
The main problem that I can see is that an awful lot of drives won't be able to
mount the CD straight after a burn. Best bet would be to try and mount it.

Any news from this issue? It has also been reported as http://bugs.debian.org/384650 in the Debian BTS.
Comment 5 William Jon McCann 2006-08-29 14:36:50 UTC 
In general, this won't work.  We should really eject in all cases but some worry about that being dangerous.  Some more information is in bug #321931.
Comment 6 William Jon McCann 2006-10-25 17:06:48 UTC 
Going to mark this as won't fix.  See bug #356412 for some details.
