My DVDRW is now working. Unfortunately there have been lots of changes: 1) I used the original drive to repair a friends business server and replaced mine with a new drive of the same model. The old drive worked fine under XP Pro 2) I installed the DVD drive along side a CDRW fearing being without any optical capability 3) i used an ATA133 IDE cable. Looks fancy - round, short, shiny 4) i have applied all my updates including 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP and I think I saw a hal update go by recently as well
I copied and burned a NetBeans DVD successfully. Also used the GUI, added a directory and it burned successfully too. My guess is that we were/are stuck in kernel/device updating. The current stable kernel is *2.6.25.8<http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.25.8.bz2> *I am not sure how the kernel people - http://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html - would treat issues from a specific version. Also not sure how Ubuntu decides when to update kernels. Also fixed a problem with network-admin by changing properties for System, Administration, Network deleting gksu in front of network-admin.
