It seems that really, out of k3b there's nothing else when it comes to GUI based burners... Politic aside, let's see if someone has some pointers regarding this.
Brasero seems to be using cdrkit/cdrtools to burn, depending on what you have installed of course.
Both fail miserably, crapping lots of disks in the way to it, and to add even more fun, burning a dvd takes like 30 minutes (well, half of the disk, to be more accurate).
I was able to burn a disk in a a bit less than five minutes (look at the prompt) using growisofs from command line:
| Code: |
17:31:13 $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -J -R -pad "."
Executing 'mkisofs -J -R -pad . | builtin_dd of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'
Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale.
Using DWA000.PIM;1 for ./packages/DWA/DWA.pimx (DWA.pima)
Using UWA000.PIM;1 for ./packages/UWA/UWA.pima (UWA.pimx)
Using LWA000.PIM;1 for ./packages/LWA/LWA.pimx (LWA.pima)
...

It even ejects my disk (that isn't amongst the brasero capabilities either, it seems).
People around the net seem to know what is happening:
http://blog.radevic.com/2009/08/workaround-for-brasero-error-when.html
There are LOTS of threads describing the problem.
But now I have a new problem: there's no config for brasero in the gconf database. I even tried searching in case it moved from one branch to some other, but there are no results when looking for 'brasero' or 'wodim'. So, what do I do? xfburn, gnomebaker and company are even worse, since they don't even detect my burner. I can work from command lne comfortably, but it stills saddens me that having a so high level abstraction layer (namely, Gnome) serves no purpose but making things more complicated than they ever were. 
Please, tell me I am doing something wrong and there's an easy fix for this.

Burner not detected? I've never had that problem with either IDE or SATA burners. What is the hardware brand and model number?
Also what brand of discs are you using? And what burning speed? Max? or 2X?
Also, pardon me for talking dirty, but does it work under Windows? |

About Windows I don't know, some of us don't have it, I don't.
OTOH, Ubuntu liveCD could offer a good way to check if your Gentoo is the culprit.

Please, not that I don't appreciate  it but I'd like to concentrate in the problem at hand (which is brasero). I am not that interested in getting xfburn to detect my drives, and anyway, I suspect that the problem with xfburn is probably that I disabled the thunar integration (mostly because I don't want XFCE for anything on this box) and hence it lacks the relevant VFS stuff to do automatic configuration. If I wanted to investigate in that direction I can do it myself

Verbatim (real Verbatim, not some rebranded Princo thing or something like that, for what's worth). 16 max speed is the max writing speed of the disk. I've used max with success with k3b and growisofs, it worked just fine without problems. Anyway. Brasero is able to burn almost always using 2x, but that doesn't really solve my problem. I have to burn one disc a year or so, but when I need it, I probably need it right at the moment.
In any case, they burn perfectly using k3b or growisofs in command line, on this same burner. The problem is not hardware, the proble is the backend that this silly application called brasero is picking. Everyone around has the same problem and they describe a solution, but that solution involves changing some gconf settings that I can't seem to find on my gconf-editor about brasero.

They work in linux using growisofs or k3b with a 0% error margin, so hardware problems are out of the question.

I'll try, but I already tried a SuSE livecd with gnome3, and it does exactly the same thing. So, I doubt the problem is Gentoo or my settings.

Hi gringo!
I know about several CLI frontends, they all work ok. I have no problem using the command line tools either. The problem however is that sometimes it's not me the one to make the decissions (otherwise I wouldn't be installing Gnome in first place).
It just amazes me that the official gnome burning tool is in such state, and for so long

Methinks culprit may be libburn, GUI tools seem to use it instead of cdrkit/cdrtools. At least this is how it looks in xfburn dependencies tree.
OTOH, app-cdr/xcdroast is a frontend for CLI tools.

brasero has an use flag for libburn, with it enabled it was even worse, but the current behaviour I described above is without libburn, which is still bad enough.

Alright, I realized I haven't used xfburn for long time. Xfburn uses libburn, not CLI tools. So I composed a 4.3 GiB disk and burned it with xfburn. Success. Just wanted to let you know there is a GUI burner that works ... at least here, with a SATA burner. BTW, xfburn does not work with SCSI.
Are you using IDE burners?

| Hey roashru, welcome. Also.. you're more likely to get answers starting a new thread of your own rather than resurrecting an old one. |
