Bug Description
Using Hardy or Intrepid, I had no problem copying CDs or DVDs using my external CD/DVD drive. In Jaunty I still have no problem COPYING them; my computer instantly recognizes my external drive with the included media.
I had effected a network upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty and, after that upgrade, while I could still burn CDs (data and audio) with the external drive, I could no longer burn DVDs. I was forced to use the computer's internal drive to do that and, using the internal drive, the discs burned perfectly.
Thinking there was some error in my upgrade, I "wiped" the computer with DBAN and, with the official disc sent to me by Ubuntu, I effected a totally clean install. I reconfigured my computer with programs installed from the Synaptic Package Manager (with three exceptions - MP3Splt, Ubuntu Tweak, and PeaZip which were installed from web sites as Debian packages; I also have two programs installed under Wine. All of these programs, with the exception of MP3Splt, were also installed on my computer when I was running Hardy and Intrepid and MP3Splt was NOT installed in Jaunty when I first noticed this anomaly). Brasero and k3b are the latest supported versions.
But the problem persists: though the computer recognizes that there is a blank DVD in the external drive, neither k3b nor Brasero recognize the drive nor can they write to it.
As I stated, this never happened in Hardy or Intrepid. Is anyone else experiencing the same or a similar problem? Can it be fixed/corrected in Jaunty?
I have an Acer Extensa 5620-6419 with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 processor and 3 GB DDR2.
