Bug Description

Binary package hint: dvd+rw-tools

I now have kernel 2.6.31-4.
Until very recently I was able to burn DVDs without a problem.
Now I cannot. I believe the problem started with the 2.6.31-3 kernel, but it may have been earlier. I have not tried to write a DVD for a couple of weeks.
The DVD is mounted and recognized fine, and I have been able to run programs from it as well as copy stuff from it.
I have an ASUS G1S.
The "Disk Burning Setup" screen gives me the following.
Image File: "/home/myname/brasero.iso
Please insert a recordable CD or DVD if you don't want to write to an image file.

I wasn't trying to write an ISO, I was trying to copy some pictures that had been dragged to my CD/DVD Creator Folder.

Same problem with 2.6.31-16.
Cannot write CD nor DVD. It was ok with jaunty, Don't know for intrepid, and KO for Karmic.

Sorry, it is not a dvd+rw-tools bug as my device isn't seen as a writer (so wodim & dvd+rw-tools are seeing the right capabilities.
Can be closed for me too.
