Bug 427985

Well works for me here. What's the output of

cdrdao --device /dev/cdrom disk-info

(with a CD preferably, assuming /dev/cdrom is your device here)

Can you try with brasero 0.7.0 ?
(rpm here: http://www.poolshark.org/src/brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm)

I haven't tried brasero 7.0, I will give it a try.

also, K3b burns everything without any problems.

You forgot --device:

cdrdao disk-info --device /dev/cdrom

brasero 0.7 needed a libburn package, I have installed it, but it still won't
install because of:

Missing Dependency: libburn.so.0 is needed by package brasero

I've checked, in my /usr/lib I've got only libburn.so and libburn.so.4, I've
created symlink called libburn.so.0 but it didn't solve a problem.

!@#$ ok sorry. Just recompiled it without libburn support. Can you download
brasero 0.7.0 again and reinstall it (with --force) :

http://www.poolshark.org/src/brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm

are you sure? :) I still get:

[root@Mareg ~]# rpm -Uvh brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
        libburn.so.0 is needed by brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8.i386
        libisofs.so.5 is needed by brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8.i386
[root@Mareg ~]# 

brasero was downloaded using wget 

Ok, used --nodeps to install brasero and... looks like it works :)

I like the new look!

Thanks!

Fantastic. I'll push 0.7.0 to F-8.

brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update brasero'

brasero from updates-testing repo works fine for me :)

Thanks!

brasero-0.7.0-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
