Bug#496594: brasero: doesn't find DVD media

[Steve Greenland]

Package: brasero
Version: 0.8.0-2
Severity: normal

After selecting files for a "Data DVD" project, selecting "Burn..."
produces the shows the "Disc Burning Setup" dialog, but the "Select a
disc to write to" selector is greyed out with the message "There is no
available medium. Please insert one.", which would be cool except that a
fresh DVD+RW disc has been inserted (and ejected and inserted, etc.). It
looks like Brasero isn't smart enough to find /dev/dvdrw1 (default udev
name), and is too "user friendly" to let me point at it. Heh.

Here's the output of 'dvd+rw-mediainfo' to show that the disc is indeed
there; and I have previously made many DVDs using command line tools.

$ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd1

Formatting the DVD doesn't help, so I don't think it's just
bug 439296.

FWIW, I'm running brasero on a machine without X, using DISPLAY and ssh
forwarding to display on my normal desktop. Of course, it doesn't see
the writable CD on that machine either.

Thanks,
Steve
