Comment 28 for bug 181703

Same problem with Intrepid 32 bit: cannot burn a blank CD-R as Brasero reports its size as 0 min.

A few days ago, however, I did manage to burn a blank CD-R. There were two differences:

1. I was at work and had an Ethernet network connected, so network manager reported the network as being on-line. At home I use dialup. Does Brasero use the network?

2. I had only logged on as myself, with a DVD in the drive. When I have not been able to burn, I was the second or third (or more) user to log on (we share a computer) at home). Perhaps the first person to log on grabs access to the DVD-RW drive and prevents subsequent users from accessing it?
