Check also for cdrdao. The other possibility is that brasero might not like the drive. May be worth trying k3b. I think I had probs with brasero but not sure as it's been a while since I used that <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> James -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> All right - I will try those suggestions when I get the chance. Just out of curiosity, isn't brasero a GNOME application? If so, what is it doing as the default cd burning application in Xubuntu? And I see no reason why brasero would need extra packages when it seems that my system can already burn CD's. I think I might go and install xfburn, which was what used to be the default in xubuntu (IIRC) Thanks again, Jimmy -- Registered Linux User #454138
