Hmmm. Ok, let's try this: 1. Plug the drive in 2. Insert a blank DVD At that point, depending on which desktop you have and how it's configured, you might get a popup that says "You have inserted a blank DVD. What would you like to do?" I do, but I'm running XFCE and have the desktop configured to "Burn a CD or DVD when a blank disc is inserted". If you don't have that configured, then: 3. Bring up Brasero from your applications menu 4. Click the "Burn image" button (generally the bottom button on the left side) You should get a dialog box. Under "Select a disk image to write", you should be able to select the ISO image you want to burn. Below that, under "Select a disc to write to", you should see something similar to "Blank DVD-R Disc: 4.7 GB of free space". If you see that, then Brasero knows you have a blank DVD in a RW drive and you should be able to write to it. If you don't see that "Blank DVD-R..." message, try rebooting with the drive plugged in. The system may not recognize it as a RW drive when hotplugged. Mine does. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a - - rigged demo. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
