nautilus not recognising blank cd

cs-cam · 12-15-2004, 08:07 PM

I'm trying to use Nautilus as my CD burning app to save installing something else but it doesn't seem to recognise the blank CD in my drive. If I put a data CD in there I con mount it and use it no worries so it's not the drive. I couldn't mount the blank one obviously because it doesn't have a filesystem and I'm at a loos as to what else I can play with to make it work.

Any tips would be appreciated

I read what you said about not wanting to install more software but you may want to try something else to burn CD's. I didn't care much for Nautilus for trying to burn CD's.

K3B works great. Very familiar to a Nero user. Same kind of interface.
You can also try XCDRoast.

From shell you can use
cdrecord

See the man pages for it
man cdrecord.

K3B is nice though.
