Description Nasser Hasian 2009-07-29 01:44:20 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
using Ubuntu 64-bit Karmic Alpha3 2.6.31 linux kernels Brasero does not recognize any blank media, Even though I see a Blank DVD icon on the desktop.

sudo lshw -short shows that my dvd writer is:

/0/100/1f.1/0.0.0 /dev/cdrom disk DVD A DS8A1H

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: amd64
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Package: 2.27.5-0ubuntu1
ProcEnviron:
 PATH=(custom, user)
 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-4.22-generic
SourcePackage: brasero
Uname: Linux 2.6.31-4-generic x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
the problem is consistent. Brasero never recognizes any blank media when i try to burn an ISO or create a new data disc. 


Actual results:
the only option i can do is create a new iso.  brasero keeps asking me to insert a blank disc.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Solved by installing gvfs-backends. I also removed existing libbrasero libraries by doing "sudo apt-get remove libbrasero-media0" but maybe it is not needed.
