you said it a CD BURNER not a DVD BURNER <div>On 7/8/07, Vincent <<a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com">imnotb@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div>On 08/07/07, Ronnie Whisler <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:mrwislr@gmail.com" target="_blank">mrwislr@gmail.com </a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid">try to remember that xubuntu is designed for older machines and to be lightweight most older machines do not have a dvd burner. </blockquote> <div> Isn't Xubuntu designed to be fast and light-weight? Still, even on older machines I think you can buy a CD burner.

DVDs are now extremely common media, and including a optical disc utility that doesn't support DVD at all would be bad, IMHO.

There's a project called GnomeBakerNg which is supposed to continue development ( <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://libburnia.pykix.org/wiki/GnomebakerNg" target="_blank"> http://libburnia.pykix.org/wiki/GnomebakerNg</a>), but it doesn't seem to have actually had any work done on it. This effectively means that Brasero is the only GTK/GNOME burning utility that's being actively maintained, and it's loaded with GNOME dependencies (although GnomeBaker is, as well). At this point it seems like all I can hope for is that either Graveman development starts back up, or Xfburn makes dramatic progress in the near-future. I've even been looking at NeroLinux 3 (blasphemy, I know), which has gotten some good reviews. I don't mean to turn the CD/DVD burner issue into a personal piss and moan session. I'm just worried about the Xubuntu devs having to ship a woefully feature-bare (and in some cases, buggy) app with Gutsy. <div> <div>On 7/8/07, Ronnie Whisler <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:mrwislr@gmail.com" target="_blank">mrwislr@gmail.com</a> > wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid">hacburn is very active last updated March 9, 2007 <div>On 7/8/07, Hexzenn <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:hexzenn@gmail.com" target="_blank">hexzenn@gmail.com </a> > wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid">Hm, after taking a look at GnomeBaker's SourceForge page (<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnomebaker" target="_blank"> http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnomebaker</a>), it seems it last had an update on October 15, 2006, and according to a post on Arch's bugtracker ( <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6916" target="_blank"> http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6916</a>) it's no longer being maintained either, leaving Brasero the only maintained CD/DVD burner. <div>On 7/8/07, Hexzenn <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:hexzenn@gmail.com" target="_blank">hexzenn@gmail.com </a> > wrote: <div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid">Hello, Currently Xfburn is rather inadequate for most people in need of a CD/DVD burner. It doesn't handle DVD-Rs at all, and many people report having problems with it. Obviously it needs to be replaced. I would have recommended Graveman, since it's free of GNOME dependencies, however it seems Graveman development is dead (no updates in a year). That leaves us with GnomeBaker or Brasero, unless there is another GTK/GNOME CD/DVD burner that I'm unaware of. Zenwalk recently had the same dilemma and went with GnomeBaker. I know this issue has been discussed previously on this list, but it didn't seem like any conclusions were made. </blockquote></div> </div> -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </blockquote> </div> -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </blockquote></div> </div> -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank"> xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div> </div> -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </blockquote> </div></div> -- Vincent -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com"> xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div>
