i'm having the same problem but only after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. blank cds are recognized (and record fine), but blank dvds (verbatim dvd+r) are not recognized (by nautilus, brasero or k3b). i've got a LG, vendor HL-DT-ST, model RW/DVD GCC-H31N.
no question is asked when inserting a blank dvd, and no application recognizes that one has been inserted. synaptic is uptodate, and uname reports i'm on 2.6.27-7-generic. this is an AMD64 system. -- CD/DVD Creator fails torecognise blank DVD (8.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
