Brasero Fails to open using the -p argument

Thank you for your bug report, do you have rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder installed?

synaptic reports rhythmbox-plug-in-cdrecorder is installed, the version is 12.7-0ubuntu7

okay this may be helpful, this is the terminal output from me opening rythmbox and attempting to press create audio cd 3 times.

ben@ben-desktop:~$ rhythmbox

Marking as confirmed since I have provided the information that Sebastian asked for and he has not gotten back to me yet+ someone else marked it as affecting them.

Thank you for sending the bug to GNOME

Pedro, in case you are not subscribed to the upstream bug they are asking for a stacktrace, if you could do so i would appreciate it. I am having trouble doing so (never done it before).

Upstream said this is a brasero bug thus reassigning.

Brasero stopped working literally overnight. Given that it is linked to Rhythmbox - and therefore Rythmbox Playlists can no longer be burnt to CD has any thought been given to making it a "high" priority fix!?

Achim, regression potential means it is a regression in the development version of Ubuntu, this is a regression in lucid which is released so changing your tag as such.

okay, I will do so in the future :-)

Thanks for that information.

this has been fixed upstream at : http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/commit/?id=f7d887658bf6065a63583ed76c27e11f0199ddbe

For anyone interested I have a brasero package with this bug fix (and as of right now that is the only change) included. https://launchpad.net/~benbordwell/+archive/ppa

the bug has been fixed upstream now

the debdiff for the change is on bug #572942

Accepted into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I accepted 2.30.1-0ubuntu2 into lucid-proposed with a followup fix. Please test.

I've managed to reproduce the bug with the package version on Lucid. After installed the proposed package, i created a playlist with rhythmbox and choose burn cd, a brasero window was shown with the selected tracks and options to burn those to CD, it also works fine if you open the tmp project (located on /tmp/brasero-tmp-project-XXXX) with brasero -p ; the issue is fixed with the proposed package, marking this as verification done, thanks all.

The proposed package works as supposed.

This bug was fixed in the package brasero - 2.30.1-1ubuntu1

It seems the bug is still present in brasero 2.30.2

I use rhythmbox 0.13.0 backported from Maverick and brasero 2.30.2 from lucid/proposed (maverick uses the same version) and I am unable to burn cd from rhythmbox, the button does anything and I receive this error from the terminal:

(brasero:20343): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed

I don't know if the bug is in maverick too, but I suspect it is because the programs versions are the same.

Guiodic: thank for you for finding this bug, but it is a different one that this so I filed a new on as bug 622535. you can follow the bugs status and provide any missing information there.
