[SOLVED] Do i require any s/w for writing CD/DVD's?

[sachin.parnami]

Hi All,

I have installed ubuntu on my laptop, now when ever i try to write any CD/DVD it does nothing

Do i require any package or s/w additionally for this? how do i check whether it is functioning or not?

Brasero is pre-installed in Ubuntu and you can burn CD/DVD through it easily. Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

[sachin.parnami]

Its Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy)

Is there any other way to check whether its working or not rather than keep on trying?

[jmadero]

does the cd spin at all or do the lights on the front come on? Try doing this in terminal

sudo apt-get install k3b

then try k3b instead of brasero

[devils casper]

K3B is KDE based and you have to install a lot of KDE libs for that. Its doesn't work properly sometimes.

Brasero works perfectly and I have burned a lot of CD/DVDs using it.
Doesn't a dialog box having Brasero option appear on inserting Blank CD/DVD?

Hi

Lets try "DeveDe", Its run DVD/CD player without any problem

[jmadero]

I actually have had problems with Brasero before....that's why I suggested k3b but it's true that you'd have to install about 30 megs of KDE libs

I second Jmadero. Plus, this way, if for some odd reason a dependency was missed that's preventing a proper burn, this should catch and install it.
