[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

disks not mounting and not being listed are different issues, could you describe what your issue is exactly? could you put a blank disk in the drive and run devkit-disks --dump and gvfs-mount -li and copy logs there?

This is screenshot whith mounted blank disk in koala....
This screenshot is not from my computer
I have not icon "Blank DVD-RW" on my desktop and no window "Blank DVD-RW" at my computer

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the log has

" optical disc:
    blank: 0"

the disk is not blank, it's either a devicekit-disks issue or not one

[Matt (mjknight50)]

Hi Sebastien,
I have the same issue as Medor reported.

K3B successfully burn blank dvd, though brasero and nautilus do not detect it

[Stefan (mad-kow)]

Having the same problem here in karmic. The blank DVD is neither recognized by nautilus nor brasero. As it is one of the basic task on a computer to be able to burn data on a DVD this should really work out of the box. I really don't understand why this bugs importance is only "low".
I installed gnomebaker and everything seems to work now (disk is still burning), but any average Ubuntu user will not be able to find such a workaround.

Is there any more information i need to provide in order to help with the fix?

[unmacaque (unmacaque)]

Same problem as previous posters with a blank DVD+RW which is not recognized by both Nautilus and Brasero in Karmic 64 bit, yet command line tools correctly show and burn the media. Blank CD-RW and DVD+R are recognized. I cannot really understand why this is a duplicate of bug #397096.
