Actually, nautilus-cd-burner's README.Debian states: "This code detects available CD writers by examining files in /proc. It will try /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info which is created by the 'cdrom' module, and /proc/scsi/sg/devices which is created by the 'sg' module. One of these modules must be loaded for nautilus-cd-burner to work." So, check if the appropriate modules are loaded, then have a look on the kernel side (which Kernel do you use? can you test 2.6.26 or 2.6.30) Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
