  1. The same thing happends. after inserting the audio cd, I am prompted by gnome to see what I want to do with it. I click "make audio cd" throw sum tracks in brasero, click burn, it will display either the DVD drive or the CD-RW drive, whichever the CD isn't in. If I run brasero before loading the CD, it makes no difference.
  2. Also, I know its not a brasero problem because when right clicking the blank disc on the desktop, clicking the drive tab, gnome lists the model as the opposite drive as what its in.
  3. Am I not being clear enough? none of the posts are *quite* relevant.
  4. sadly i need to replace my keyboard. any time i install the the kde core files the keyboard freezes. I have to reboot to get the keyboard to start responding, so that's why I'm switching over to gnome. that and i love gnome. much cleaner, much more dependable.
  5. Thanks, I went ahead and checked the hardware connections even though the configuration works fine under windows and KDE and everything seems secure. Sadly my problem isn't with burning ISOs its burning audio discs. I'll reiterate the problem now that I'm on my computer. I insert a blank disc into my DVD-R (incapable of writing DVDs but is capable of writing CD-R/CD-RWs) and I'll get a prompt from gnome, "Choose disc type: You have inserted a blank disc" (so we can see that the computer knows I've put a disc in, making me further convinced its not a hardwired problem), I select "make audio disc" and it launches my prefered application for audio disc creation (brasero). I can compile the songs I want to burn, Brasero loads them all successfully. I click the nifty burn button down there at the bottom and it pops up with "Select a Drive to write to;" (combo box drop down) HL-DT-ST GCE-8483B (Properties) Type: CD-R Size: 702.8 MB Free Contents; empty Status: the medium can be recorded Title: ..." Also in the combo box I can select "SONY DVD RW DRU-810A" Which as the name would suggest is my DVD drive that that blank disc is in. When I select the DVD drive, brasero tells me that the drive is empty. So to summarize: Brasero (and gnome in general) gets my drives flip flopped. It reads from them fine, but when I try to write to a disc, it tries to activate the wrong drive and the burn fails. If I put blank discs in both drives and commit the project anyway, the software buffer goes through the motions but nothing is written to the disc. If I just let the project go with the defaults (try to burn the audio to where brasero/gnome thinks the blank disc is) it will get 50% of the way through the process (audio conversions I assume), but as soon as the drive is initialized at 51%, I get the error; The disc in "HL-DT-ST GCE-8483B" is not writable: replace the disc with a recordable CD with a least 700 MiB free. well as we know the real problem is that there is no disc in HL-DT-ST GCE-8483B. glancing through the logs, no relevant errors are in dmesg or the system log viewer. Ideas????????
  6. big linux fan, even bigger mandriva fan but i've come to a problem i can't solve. i've raided the forums since normally i find the answers i need here, but i guess i'm just using the wrong key words. i have a cd-rw and a dvd-r drive. when using mandriva with kde, k3b works like a dream, but i prefer gnome as my desktop environment. i have everything purring smoothly except when i try to burn a cd. brasero opens smooth enough, but when i put a blank cd-r in my cd-rw drive, gnome thinks its in the dvd drive and vice versa. i've tried several work arounds but even when both drives have blank cds in them, (dvd drive can write cds as well just a little slower.) the burn appears to be successful but nothing is written to the cds. i'm not sure what kind of troubleshooting to perform but i have a feeling its a problem with gnome-volume-manager. i'm writing this post from my phone, so please forgive the lack of code output. i'm open to any suggestions and can provide any information/output that might help me out but i'm not too sure what is relevant. thanks for your time any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks again -zen
