More info about the bug: running wodim with strace shows that it tries to open all the drives /dev/hda through /dev/hdz, then everything from /dev/scd0 through /dev/scd255, and then it quits.
$ strace wodim --devices http://pastebin.com/7AXsRa4s If, however, I specify the path, then it is recognised. $ wodim dev=/dev/sr0 --devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 dev='/dev/sr0' rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GH22NS50' ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^^^ But this appears silly. :) - banskt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203559 Title: wodim doesn't find my DVD writer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/1203559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
