Bug Description
Binary package hint: brasero
I burned and blanked DVD-RW's previously in jaunty. Everything worked perfectly.
Since then I did a completely new install of ubuntu (namely Karmic). In Karmic, I'm not able to blank a DVD-RW. Once I try to perform a blank (of a written dvd-rw), Brasero shows the following message:
***
Unable to mount blank optical disc
Dbus error
org.gtk.
***
After some time however, Brasero says blanking has been completed. However, it has made the DVD-RW useless. Karmic is not able to detect it as a blank dvd-rw. In order to fix the issue I have to resort to Windows where I again erase the DVD-RW. After that Windows detects the dvd-rw as a blank and I can write stuff to it. Returning to Ubuntu, such a written dvd-rw is again recognized.

I have a similar problem when blanking dvd-rw on my thinkpad r500. Have you tried changing the sata setting in the bios to compatibility mode? I can blank and burn dvd in compatibility mode but is still get some dbus errors.
