Comment 30 for bug 228624

My DVDRW is now working. Unfortunately there have been lots of changes:

1) I used the original drive to repair a friends business server and
replaced mine with a new drive of the same model. The old drive worked fine
under XP Pro
2) I installed the DVD drive along side a CDRW fearing being without any
optical capability
3) i used an ATA133 IDE cable. Looks fancy - round, short, shiny
4) i have applied all my updates including 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP and I
think I saw a hal update go by recently as well

I copied and burned a NetBeans DVD successfully.

Also used the GUI, added a directory and it burned successfully too.

My guess is that we were/are stuck in kernel/device updating. The current
stable kernel is
*2.6.25.8<http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.25.8.bz2>
*I am not sure how the kernel people -
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html - would treat
issues from a specific version. Also not sure how Ubuntu decides when to
update kernels.

Also fixed a problem with network-admin by changing properties for System,
Administration, Network deleting gksu in front of network-admin.
