Hi folks!
I am running Lubuntu 16.04 64bit on a Lenovo X140e with the "AMD A4-5000
APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics" CPU, and a 500GB hard drive.
I am having a problem with Xfburn seeing my ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U external
USB 2.0 CD/DVD burner.
When I connect it to the laptop, it shows up in Devices. I can
play video DVDs from it just fine. But, when I right click on a .iso
file to burn it to a DVD+RW disc and select Xfburn, Xfburn give a
pop-up that
says "No burners are currently available".
If I open Xfburn from the Menu, and go into Edit > Preferences >
Devices, the burner is not listed under Detected devices. If I click on
'Scan for devices' it still does not detect the drive.
I found a work-around for this here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/232026/external-dvd-writer-not-detected-in-xfburn
There was no .rules files in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory, so I
created a '70-persistent-cd.rules' file and copied in the rule from
that page, inserting the serial number for my drive, which I got from
running 'usbview'.
Here's the rule I put into the file I created:
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*",
ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="00101016400000005", ENV{ID_TYPE}="cd",
ENV{GENERATED}="1"
The filename is:
70-persistent-cd.rules
I then rebooted and still Xfburn does not see the external burner.
Any ideas?
Honestly I use brasero personally.
So, now to the real question you asked :D
Is the ISO you are using complete? (Did you run md5sum on it)
Have you tried other programs (Brasero, K3B any command line tools?)
Yes, the md5sum was checked and good.
On Lubuntu, no I didn't try Brasero or and other burning method. I did
open Synaptic and selected Brasero for installation, but when I saw all
of the deps that it required I thought I would mention the problem to
this list to see if there was a known fix for Xfburn, instead of
installing Brasero.
And finally, can you open xfburn from a terminal and report the errors
it spits out in the terminal, those are generally very useful for
finding issues.
When I open xfburn from a terminal all I get is a pop up window saying
"No burners are currently available" and this in the terminal: "**
Message: Using UDEV".
I have not had any issues with either of the external DVD/RW dirves I
have used over the years, but again I do not use xfburn, because I had
troubles with it 5 years ago, and have not had problems with brasero.
My external drive works fine on other distributions on this same
netbook, albeit with Brasero.
So try another program first to see if it is simply xfburn that is the
issue
I guess I'll just install Brasero.
Also, making a USB drive to boot is extremely easy with certain
programs (such as mkusb) and will work on many computers :)
Thanks, I'll try out mkusb.
