When trying to burn cds with the nautilus-cd-burner extension a message box pops up with the message: "Insert blank disc Please put a blank disc, with at least xxx MiB free, into the drive", even though a blank disc is in the drive. The xxx is of course a number. I have no problems burning with cdrecord and nautilus-cd-burner 2.8 worked fine too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open CD/DVD Creator window 2. Drag files into the window 3. Insert a blank cd-r 3. Choose "Write to Disc..." from menu. Press "Write". or right-click an image in nautilus and click "Write to Disc..." then "Write". Actual Results: I get asked to insert a blank disc. Expected Results: Nautilus writing a cd. The burner is attached to a scsi controller.

I've just tried an ATAPI burner in the same system. That doesn't work either.
by chance, is the cd getting automounted by gnome-volume-manager? http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164352
No. I am not running gnome-volume-manager.
I too am having this issue. I've read that I may have to have my user in the cdrom group. I issued `# gpasswd -a kevin cdrom`, logged out and logged my user back in, and `groups` still doesn't show cdrom, even though `cat /etc/groups | grep 'kevin'` lists it. Strange.
hi, i found an entry in gnomes bugzilla and set the overburn option on my box. now it works. probably the initial settings should be changed? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316528 When trying to burn a CD following the instructions in Help the program constantly asks for a CD to be inserted. This can be corrected by selecting the overburn option, but this should not be necessary
Enabling overburn works in my case too. I think this bug is related to <http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172429>. The conclusion in the Gnome Bugzilla discussion is that this is not a gnome bug, but a problem with hal or even a kernel problem.
Hi, I hit this bug after upgrading to udev-068-r1 from udev-058, I remember to have burnt cds before this upgrade. In my case, hal detects the blank cd (blank cd icon appears on Desktop and nautilus-cd-burner is launched), but when trying to burn in n-c-b it tells I have no blank cd. I had the clue what was happened when I right click -> Unmount on the blank cd icon, that gave an error telling it could not unmount because "eject: unable to open `/dev/hdc'" that pretty seemed like a file permission error: nelson@gnelson ~ $ ll /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 ago 9 21:49 /dev/hdc nelson@gnelson ~ $ cat /etc/group | grep cd 20:cdrom:x:19:pedro,nelson 34:cdrw:x:80: nelson@gnelson ~ $ As you see /dev/hdc has rw for "cdrom group" and my local user is in the cdrom group, so don't know why that is not working, maybe a bug in gentoo layout?. Well, I just gave rw perms to others, and nautilus-cd-burner now works ok: gnelson nelson # chmod o+r /dev/hdc gnelson nelson # chmod o+w /dev/hdc gnelson nelson # nelson@gnelson ~ $ ll /dev/hdc brw-rw-rw- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 ago 9 21:49 /dev/hdc nelson@gnelson ~ $ PD: I also checked gnomebaker and had the same problem so it's not that n-c-b is not peeking the cdrom group, possibly it's a hal issue, and possibly related gentoo has an old hal version, we would want to reproduce this when hal-0.5.4 enters testing.
Is this reproducable with GNOME 2.12?
No response, can not reproduce this locally with 2.12. Assuming fixed.
