brasero can't find CD drive

Thanks for your report, could you get a brasero log? please run brasero as: brasero --brasero-burn-debug --brasero-media-debug &> brasero-debug.txt ; perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting log file to the report, thanks.

log as requested - this is for VMWare VM - (a clean karmic install, no settings changed).?field.comment=log as requested - this is for VMWare VM - (a clean karmic install, no settings changed).

there's no error there, could you please try again? thanks.

the results are identical, except for the PID numbers in the log.

I understand there's no obvious error there, but there's not a lot I can do. I start brasero, hit the 'Disc copy' button, and get a dialog that tells me 'Select disc to copy' with a grayed out dropdown that says 'No available disc'. there's a CD in the (virtual) drive. it appears in the places menu, and gnomebaker is quite happy to copy it.

there are these lines in the log:

which look to contain errors: "SCSI command error: Invalid command", "GET PERFORMANCE failed", "wrong page size".

this should be easy to replicate - just create a VMWare VM, boot a karmic live CD in it, then run brasero...

PS. I've seen identical behavior on a 'real' PC too, but I don't have immediate access to that PC.

I get same problem.

Log attached

I'm not in VMWare though. This is straight install, Ubuntu 9.10 fully patched. Same problem as normal user or "sudo brasero"

do you get the same using k3b, gnomebaker ?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.
To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New".

sigh. I didn't bother replying to the previous request for 'testing with gnomebaker', because I'd quite clearly stated earlier in the bug report that 'gnomebaker is quite happy to copy it'... so my bug report wasn't being read.

as far as the requirements for testing, starting a vmware VM with a karmic CD in the drive is pretty easy to replicate.
