Since this bug has expired it is just possible that nobody cares about it. Still I just managed to reproduce the situation that a video disk I ejected is still mounted, and natutilus displays this video disk as well as the empty DVD I just inserted. "mount", however, shows me only the video disk.
In this situation, brasero 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 (installed on my system) allows me to selected a disk image and start "burning" it. After a while it gets stuck "generating a checksum". If, however, I recompile brasero from source (3.2.0) and start it then all five options in the start dialogue are shown as blocked (red circle with diagonal stroke). I can still select "image" and am allowed the ".iso" file but then I get the message "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD" (which I would consider sensible). Code inspection shows that "brasero_track_type_get_has_medium()" returns 0. When I alternate between the installed brasero and my recompiled version this is reproducible. So it looks like a fix has been made, though the version number is still 3.2.0. Or there is a difference in the Ubuntu version. Still I seem to remember a time when automatic unmounting of ejected r/o disks worked better... or not? But this has got nothing to do with brasero. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486960 Title: Brasero disk burner won't get past "Preparing to write."
