Description Rafa³ Próchniak 2005-03-02 22:56:33 UTC
Distribution/Version: ubuntu warty

Simple: it does not burn cd-rws. Neither ones to be erased nor blank (brand new)
ones. The very same cd-rws can be recorded manually with cdrecord (actually via
xcdroast). 

Nautilus-cd-burner opens the cd/dvd druid after a blank cd-rw is inserted, but
fails to record showing an error ("insert blank/ rewritable media")

Cd-r burning works ok.

Can you please copy the output of the following command into this bug:
nautilus-cd-burner --version
Comment 2 Rafa³ Próchniak 2005-03-07 09:02:58 UTC
Here you are: 

Gnome nautilus-cd-burner 2.8.3

Meanwhile I found out that no cd-record-based program so far (xcdroast,
gnomebaker, graveman) was able to erase a cd-rw. I have to use cdrdao from the
command line (I couldn't find any combination of options to make cdrecord work
from the command line).

Comment 3 William Jon McCann 2005-03-09 00:40:03 UTC
Are you able to update to nautilus-cd-burner 2.8.7 and see it that fixes it?  
Comment 4 Rafa³ Próchniak 2005-03-09 19:21:47 UTC
2.8.7 (compiled from source) did not help (no erasing, no burning). 

I am back with 2.8.3 (due to package dependencies). 
Comment 5 William Jon McCann 2005-03-09 19:28:27 UTC
I just noticed that you aren't able to use cdrecord from the command line
either.  In that case the problem isn't with nautilus-cd-burner.  I suggest that
you file a bug with Ubuntu.
Comment 6 Rafa³ Próchniak 2005-03-09 22:03:43 UTC
I can file a bug with Ubuntu (and I will), but I can't erase a cd-rw with
cdrecord, though I can burn one. Nautilus burns only cd-r. 

How does it work? Does nautilus always try to erase a cd-rw first? 
Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2005-03-09 23:59:59 UTC
Rafa, do you mean that "cdrecord blank=all dev=/dev/cdrom" doesn't work? Or that
you didn't know about it?
Comment 8 Rafa³ Próchniak 2005-03-10 00:23:12 UTC
It does not work.
Actually, I have already (after commnet 5) reported this bug (#7382) at Ubuntu
(https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7382). There is an attachment
(cdrecord.txt) with cdrecord output.
