Problem with CD detection in Brasero 2.30.1

L

Lasse

Brasero won't find the CD when I try to write a disc image. I just get the following message: Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD.
I am using Brasero 2.30.1 on FreeBSD 8.1 - RELEASE. Platform: amd64.
The CD is a CD-RW. I have also tried a DVD-RW disc.
Do I have to mount the drive first and exactly how do I do it?

Thanks in advance/
Lasse.
 
Since I am an absolute beginner on FreeBSD, I do not know anything about configuring the kernel.
I would appreciate if you told me exactly how.

Thanks in advance/

I try so hard to make brasero work with my sony dvdrw sata work on freebsd but nothing work to me.
 
Make sure this options are enabled in kernel when you building:
Code: 
device          scbus
device          cd
device          pass
device     atapicam
Open /etc/devfs.conf and add this:
Code: 
own acd* SIFE:wheel
perm acd* 0660

link acd0 cdrom

# for VirtualBox
perm xpt* 0660
perm pass* 0660
link acd0 cd0
Restart devfs:
Code: 
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Some ports know cd* as CD/DVD lecture, and some other's know cdrom as CD/DVD lecture, this configuration work perfect with k3b, brasero, virtualbox-ose.
Mr DutchDaemon, port tag doesn't work :).
 
sorry but that not helping me all that don't work. Im not a noobe on bsd. My ide burner work on brasero but not my sata.

Click to expand...
Code: 
cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
ee MYKERNEL (make the changes you want and save)
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
shutdown -r now or reboot.
But better to read the handbook on kernel config chapter
The only difficult on Kernel config is to know what to keep and what to remove :P Also a lot of people trying to make Kernel as slim as possible, destroy the system! Don't remove things unless you are 100% sure that you don't need them! Ex: Ethernet cards. You Know what card you have and obviously all the others you don't need them. But also read the comments because some things are necessary needed even they look useless.
 
I'm marking this [Solved] because the OP has gone, and there's an alternative ;)
 
I suspect those that still have this problem with brasero after applying all the tricks from this thread, may have an outdated cdrecord. It was certainly the case for me. To check, go to Edit->Plugins->cdrecord and see if it says 'cdrecord too old' or something to that effect.

Upgrading cdrecord brought the device back in brasero for me.
