Hello I can confirm this bug as well. I recently installed a new DVD burner the Plextor PX-760A a dual layer DVD burner on pata. CD disc worked perfectly but not DVDs. Howver running the python script attachment available here allows the DVD burner to work perfectly for DVD disc as well. The DVD burner is a secondary master with no secondary slave. It is E-IDE (ATAPI).
Am I correct in assuming that I can run your python script automatically via sessions>startup programs menu entry? python cdcaps.py /dev/hdc CDO_USE_FFLAGS returned 13 got drive capabilities: 21ffef CDC_DVD_R support CDC_DVD support CDC_CD_RW support CDC_CD_R support got disc status: 0 -- hal detects written DVD as empty https://launchpad.net/bugs/14692 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
