[Bug 319640] [NEW] couldnt burn cd when /tmp had 1GB instead of 3GB

[David Johnston]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

Hi, 
further to details in question: #57949
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+question/57949

brasero 0.8.2 on ubuntu intrepid 8.10 with kernal updated to
2.6.27-9-generic

There was no place for selecting a working directory other than /tmp
(that I could readily find) in the burn project area

when I tried burning the cd with a separate /tmp partition of 1GB the burn failed. 
I released some of the spare space I had set aside to balance the system when I found out which file systems were growing the most and created a /tmp partition of 3GB and restarted the system, the burn ran OK. 
It had only a few dozen MB used when brasero failed to burn cd when /tmp was 1GB 

(This suggests I may get problems burning a DVD if I dont have /tmp of
8GB or more, once I get past the excessive directory level problem, but
thats another story / bug report)

there are a couple of things to deal with : 
- the burn project option doesnt have a properties selection button or similar (whereas the copy disc option does) 
- the process seems to need more than 30% above the 750 MB that the ISO image file is likely to occupy during disc burning.  

this might not be a problem if I had done the intrepid install and set
aside only a separate /boot and /swap and bundled the rest of the space
under the root directory /.

there should be enough info in 
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+question/57949
to supplement the above. 

also some system details below:
