That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd-burner/+bug/53498 "Using Dapper - fully updated. Steps: 1) Insert CD 2) Right-click and select "Copy Disc" 3) Choose "file image" and click ok 4) In the save dialogue, the "Places" (e.g. other partitions) are missing. One can still save to the partitions by going through "Filesystem" to the /media directory, but it is inconsistent with all other save dialogues. http://librarian.launchpad.net/3500185/Screenshot-Choose%20a%20filename%20for%20the%20disc%20image.png This is a screenshot of the save dialogue I get when I am writing an image. ... http://librarian.launchpad.net/3500187/Screenshot-Save%20As.png Sorry, *this* is a screenshot of what the save dialogue on my machine normally looks like. I got the screenshots muddled."
No, it was using the "unix" backend, instead of switching to the local_only mode, which was why it didn't see devices that weren't in /etc/fstab. Should be fixed by that commit: 2008-12-16 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/ncb-operation.c (select_iso_filename): Use "Save" as the default action for the file chooser when writing to a file and not a drive (Closes: #389465)
