Results of further testing: Immediately after the above test, I was able to play a DVD movie (which was not happening before- at least since I upgraded to Hardy- alll was OK in Gutsy), and I went to bed relatively happy that a crude workaround was in place.
Now I cant repeat this last part... inconsistency? Still after a reboot with a blank DVD in place it automounts and Brasero sees it... So!!!! Although I was able to burn an ISO and then do another one, it appears that after I closed the DVD application (Brasero and/or VLC) and with no disk in the drive things changed, and 'auto-mount' failed to happen thereafter. (Sorry, Im a bit of a newby and 'auto-mount' might not be the correct technical term!) I also find that after a reboot with a blank DVD, if I immediately replace the DVD with a movie, the DVD burner 'disappears', and does not return - ie it is not a visible/mountable device (until a further reboot with a blank DVD in place...) All very strange - I think that I will have to roll back to Gutsy after all. I was just getting into playing with video editing and compiling DVDs!!! ;^( Ian -- Fails to see blank CD/DVDs for writing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220957 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
