Problem: BRASERO wil NOT burn dvd
the Burn button, the Number of copies button, and the Properties button are all grayed out and can’t be clicked on.

Detail:
Using Topaz on an Athlon 1700+ with 1GB RAM & Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive:
When I try to burn an .iso on a dvd, a “Blank DVD+R in Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A” shows in Select disc to write to.
Below it it says Size: 4.4 GB free & Status: the medium can be recorded.
Image Path: shows a burnable dvd .iso (I have burned via growisofs as root) and Image type: let brasero choose
BUT: the Burn button, the Number of copies button, and the Properties button are all grayed out and can’t be clicked on.
Thinking it to be a permissions issue, I su to root in a terminal & then ran brasero from the terminal. Still nothing.

I have been forced to install k3b on Elive’s beautifully clean system with the TONS of kde dependancies only to burn dvds. It of course works perfectly - k3b ALWAYS runs perfectly. But it shouldn’t be necessary.

Luckily my donated computers have never had a DVD burner yet. But it will be a show stopper if I get one since brasero will NOT work for me.
