I insert an empty cd in the burner and open brasero to write an iso to it, but it complains that it doesn't have a writable medium. CCing David, since this is likely a DK-disks/gvfs issue.
While we should get this fixed ASAP, it's not really part of the critical path to get alpha installed, booted, and updated. Moving it off the list.

This should not block Alpha, I agree, but it should block final release, not just be a target - shipping final with the default (and only installed) disc burning tool entirely broken would be rather bad. I have the same problem here. I see the following messages in my kernel log on inserting a blank disc: sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] Info fld=0x0 sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

Brasero does not recognize that there is a blank disc in the drive, but cdrecord (well, wodim) does and is perfectly happy to burn to it. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
If I run devkit-disks-daemon at a console and then insert a blank DVD, the messages I get are: **** CHANGING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.0/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sr0 **** UPDATING /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.0/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sr0 **** EMITTING CHANGED for /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.0/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sr0 **** CHANGED /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.0/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sr0 -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This appears to be fixed with the latest DeviceKit-disks that we have in rawhide.
Does this mean we won't get a backport to F11? I'd really prefer not to have to boot up in windows just to burn a couple of disks?
If you want a fix for F11, open a bug on F11. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
