GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 679905
Brasero stays in memory when closed.
Last modified: 2014-01-03 13:13:53 UTC
Using either ubuntu studio 10.04 or 12.04(alpha dec19) if brasero is started by a right click on a toc file (or maybe a cue file) it opens a dialogue to burn a cd from. I can cancel or burn a cd, but in either case ps x still shows brasero running after the dialogue has gone when the application has completed it's task successfully. trying to burn a cd from a second toc file or even open brasero from the main menu then fails until brasero has been killed (kill pid). This is not a problem when opening an audio file (wav, ogg etc.) as the main brasero window is opened. I think that because the burn dialogue normally would not exit brasero it doesn't exit here either, however, the main window is not shown to exit from. copied from ubuntu bug 919767 Originally noticed with 3.2.0 but still a problem with 3.4.1
(In reply to comment #0) > Using either ubuntu studio 10.04 or 12.04(alpha dec19) Please try again with a recent stable release (e.g. 12.04) instead of an unstable alpha that is 7 months old and report back.
Tested in Ubuntu Studio 12.04 release. with Brasero 3.4.1. Used a toc file created by Ardour2. Right click on *.toc file, select Brasero to open it. Brasero dialog for burning cd opens. When finished dialog is closed. Brasero can no longer be run either from the menu or from a right click on a toc file. ps x shows brasero is still running. Killing the running brasero process corrects the problem... until the next time.
I'm affected too in a fully updated Ubuntu 12.04 (brasero 3.4.1). After the burn process completed, brasero still exists in memory even though there are no open windows. I have to terminate it to be able to start it again.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/907311 This bug is appears to be affecting a lot of people, from Ubuntu version 12.04 up to Ubuntu 13.04. Brasero is not shutting down when closing the window. For those of us that know about this bug, it is an minor annoyance ($ killall brasero). For the many who don't understand the bug, it means not being able to use brasero.

If it helps: "brasero -ig /home/username/some_iso_image.iso" -> no problems, exiting normally, last line: BraseroBurn: (at brasero-session.c:2388) Cleaning session "brasero -g /home/username/some_iso_image.iso" -> not exiting, displaying: BraseroBurn: (at brasero-session.c:2388) Cleaning session (brasero:5340): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
